God bless you Tom!

I have discovered the best restaurant known to man.

Well, Adam and Neil actually showed me it so I can't really claim credit, but it's still a bloody fantastic place.

Question: What's the best food on the planet?

Answer: (Obviously) Toast. Therefore, the best restaurant known to man is a...... yes, that's right, a TOAST RESTAURANT! Go to Tomu (Tom's) on old route 8 in Takefu - it truly is the eighth wonder of the world. Tom himself, we believe, is some kind of toast wizard, sent to deliver his bread art to to the true believers. It's not just any toast - we're talking half a loaf of bread here, with egg and tomato running through the full depth of the bread. Awe-inspiring.

The restaurant is stunning too - as Adam pointed out, it looks like a vision of the future from the past. Perhaps it's the future that could have been... 

The man himself. Is he from the future? Who knows?
Welcome to Tom's restaurant.

Hello Lewis, I found your site while searching for tom's toast restaurant. I'm leaving for the city of Takefu as a JET in just 2 weeks.
Did you happen to know Darren & Kri? I just met them in Portland, OR last week. They are former Jets who met in Takefu.
You should forward pictures of the city if you have a chance- Becky Lee
