From the foodhalls of Fortnum & Masons to the stalls in Borough Market the meccas for foodies are plentiful in London. But, compared to the basement foodhalls in Japanese department stores there is no comparison. The variety and quality is amazing and some items are simply jaw-dropping. Take the mushrooms in the above found in the Isetan foodhall in Shinjuku. Good size...fresh looking...beautifully presented...and 24,150 Yen. In proper money, about £100. These matsutake gems.....not exactly your typical pizza topping for an extra 50p!!
