As I may have mentioned before one of my favorite things about Tokyo are the many strange and totally un-expected sights and events one seem's to come across here. The last in this series was last week's dinner at Zakuro a Turkish/Persian restaurant close to Niporri Station. I have chosen the Nippori area for my weekly get together with Yoriko, because i wanted to check out the temples and old shopping streets located in the area. We did that and then set out for a place to get some dinner, stumbling on Zakuro which had been mentioned with one-line in my Time-Out guide book as excentric.
It was so indeed, not so much because you sit on the floor, while feasting on an enourmous amounts of (delicious) middle eastern food, while watching/listing to Turkish pop music video clips and finally being entertained by a (thai looking) belly dancer, but mostly due to the manager who runs the place as an interactive Persian comedy, dressing people up in local garb, match-making across table and force feeding persian cotton candy to the guests - very very amusing.
