Last few days I’m Japan – what else to try/eat?

Checking to see if there’s any must-eat dishes I’ve missed while I’m here. So far, I’ve been able to try:

Food

* Ramen (shio, shoyu, tonkotsu)
* Tsukemen
* Soba
* Tenpura (shrimp, scallop, fish, lotus root, sweet potato, mountain vegetables, couple other items I wasn’t sure what they were, but all tasty, mozzarella)
* Omirice
* Assorted Onigiris
* Konbini sandwiches (egg, fruit, pork cutlet)
* Minced beef with cheese
* Melonpan
* Korroke
* Various sushi including maki/nigiri/sashimi
* Curry beef bun
* Curry rice (chicken, katsu, beef)
* Okonomiyaki (Hiroshima, Osaka styles)
* Takoyaki
* Udon
* Yakiniku (chicken, pork, beef)
* Oumi beef
* Karaage
* Miyajimi oysters (tenpura, omelet)
* Kebab wrap
* Strawberry mochi
* Kaiseki meal
* Hot dog on a stick
* Taiyaki
* Various cheesecakes, custards, jellies, mousses)
* Couple of slices of pizza from a couple places
* Couple of burgers from a couple of places
* This tempura bun in a dashi thickened by seaweed that I don’t know the name of but could definitely eat more of)

Drinks

* Asahi, Kirin, Sapporo, about a dozen craft beers
* Japanese whisky
* Japanese gins
* Various sakes
* Umeshu
* Pocari sweat
* Calpis
* Tea
* Coffee
* Highballs
* Chuhais / Lemon Sour / Strong Zeroes

I don’t really have a big sweet tooth, so not terribly interested in any more desserts, but if there’s something I’m really missing, I’m open to seeking it out.

Any big misses that I should find while I still have a couple days? Thank you!
