Book a Trip to Tokyo and Experience its Culinary Marvels


Osu! Fancy a trip to Japan’s capital but don’t know what to eat? Even the most seasoned gourmand would be spoilt for choice with Tokyo food. Crafted and honed over 400 years starting from the Edo period, there is no Tokyo restaurant that will fail to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. With the growing acceptance of cryptocurrency in the Tokyo food scene, there has never been a better time than now to book a trip to Tokyo using XcelToken.


Here are some of the unique offerings that a Tokyo restaurant has:

    1.  Donburi – Literally translating to “bowl”, no dish is as complete or ubiquitous as the humble Donburi. A relatively simple but versatile recipe of seasoned rice with a serving of meat, seafood or vegetables; this humble and inexpensive meal is known by many names based on the choice of ingredients, all of which are guaranteed to sate even the hungriest Tokyo restaurant hopper.
      2.     Unaju – The progenitor of donburis, Unaju is a traditional Japanese dish of salty-sweet seasoned eel over a bed of fresh rice. Deceptively simple in appearance, this dish can be found at specialty restaurants all over the city. Be sure to frequent the many sushi bars around the city if you develop a taste for eel.
     3.     Yakitori – Another relic from the start of the Edo period, these grilled chicken skewers are a staple of izakayas; Japanese drinking pubs. With the advent of the broiler, Yakitori can be made quickly and tastily with a seasoning of sweet tare sauce, or simple salt. Travel to Tokyo can get exhausting, and there’s no better way to unwind than to share a beer and yakitori with friends, much like the salarymen do after a long day of work.
     4.     Dojo Nabe – Honed in the Edo period, Dojo, or pond loach is a freshwater fish that is a worthy competitor to the eel in terms of flavor and strength.  One of the unique variants of Dojo Nabe; Yanagawa Nabe is a hotpot of loach, burdock and whisked eggs; found only in the Tokyo region. Find this dish during your travel in a Tokyo restaurant, and you’re going to be satisfied for the day.
      5.     Kare Raisu – Curry rice, arguably one of Japan’s most popular dishes, originates from the British variation on Indian curries. Served over a bed of piping hot rice, this stew often contains meat, carrots and potatoes, with varying spice levels and assorted accompaniments. A culinary tour of Tokyo food is incomplete without a taste of curry rice.

Understanding Liquidity

Image
The concept of  liquidity   has many facades to it. One way to define liquidity is “the ability of an asset to be converted into cash readily on demand”. An additional way of viewing at it is when any asset can be bought or sold at its fair price. Liquidity thus means that there aren’t discounts or bonuses devoted to it during buy or sell and it’s easy to enter and exit the asset. It is believed as more of an item is accepted and sold, the chances of charging premiums or giving discounts lower and such an asset usually trades around ‘what it is worth’. The forex market is often defined as a liquid market with an average turnover of more than $5 trillion daily as of April 2016 according to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) while real estate is a classic example of an illiquid asset. Property as an asset is less liquid, requiring huge investments into physical form, monotonous procedures and smaller market.  Liquidity is significant for any tradable  asset , wh
