Amid horrifying news from Lebanon comes the story of a Lebanese restaurant called Byblos that is serving up delicious meals in Downtown Tokyo, Japan. Since Beirut’s streets are chockfull of sushi restaurants, we are happy to see that Japanese people are also getting a taste of Lebanese food!

The Japanese ambassador to Lebanon Takeshi Okubo shared a photo of the restaurant on his Twitter account. “The new Lebanese restaurant Byblos in Downtown Tokyo with a Lebanese chef. Its reputation is very good. I wish it more success,” said Okubo.
