Japanese restaurants... bah humbug. They should be called Japanese restaurants that have red and white checkered table clothes!
99% of the Italian restaurants in Japan will offer ONLY pasta or pizza. Both will feature sauces or toppings that are distinctly Japanese, i.e. very seafood oriented. Taste is quite good, but I'd love to be able to order a veal parmigiana, Ossobuco, Alto Adige, speck, bagna cauda, pancetta, coppa and salami, mortadella antipasta, ANYTHING other than just pasta or pizza! If I want those tastes, I have to special order the ingredients and prepare it myself... including special ordering the veal!
