Welcome to bento.com and the Tokyo Food Page and Kansai Food Page, covering Japanese cuisine and the dining scene in Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe.

The award-winning Tokyo Food Page restaurant guide is the only bilingual source for unbiased, expert advice on where to eat and drink in Tokyo. Reviews and listings are compiled by an experienced team of food critics who review restaurants anonymously and impartially, seeking out Tokyo's best dining experiences. There is never a charge to restaurants for listings, reviews, or news items, and we don't accept advertising from restaurants.

The Tokyo Food Page website has been published in Tokyo since 1994, and it currently logs around 800,000 page views per month (as of April 2007).

The "Eating and Drinking in Tokyo" listings include over 1000 restaurants, izakaya and bars in Tokyo; other sections of the site include extensive recipes, articles on Japanese cuisine, and travel-related features.

Tokyo Food Page is available in Japan and elsewhere on mobile platforms, including i-mode, Vodafone, and WAP. An XML feed is available, and RSS autodiscovery is supported.

The website has been featured in The New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, Time magazine, Nihon Keizai Shimbun, The Daily Yomiuri, the Japan Times, and Tokyo Journal.
