		<description><![CDATA[Forget Shin-Okubo&#8217;s Koreatown. When I asked Korean friends and acquaintances where to go to find authentic Korean food in Tokyo, several pointed me in the opposite direction, to Akasaka. Specifically, I was told to try the soup at Akasaka Ichiryu Bekkan (2-13-17 Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo; 03-3582-7008). There&#8217;s really only one thing on the menu at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Hamburger shops are a dime a dozen in Tokyo these days, but there are very few places doing barbecue,&#8221; said Lauren Shannon, owner of Bulldog Barbeque (www.bulldogbbq.jp). By barbecue, Shannon doesn&#8217;t mean any old thing thrown on a grill, but rather the tradition of the American South of slow-cooked, smoked meats. If you don&#8217;t know [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;There are no palm trees. It looks like a typical Caribbean restaurant. Like home, not the beach,&#8221; says Petra Laptiste, a Canadian of Caribbean descent, describing her favorite Caribbean restaurant in Tokyo, JamRock (1-21-15 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; 03-3478-2364; www.jamrockcafeonline.com). JamRock doesn&#8217;t peddle hackneyed images of Caribbean life (no Bob Marley posters on the wall); it [...]]]></description>

However, there are a handful of expat-run places that get it right &#8212; and should hit the spot for homesick Brits.
