Comments:
Although udon is not so much a Kanto food, this is a very popular udon restaurant in Tokyo that always has a long queue.  The prices here however are much higher than the average udon however the portions are a lot bigger and the menu offers a wide variety to choose from.

Super long queue before and after we went in

Fruit & cream sandwiches
Recommend: 
いちご生クリーム (ichigo nama kuriimu)  Strawberry & Cream Sandwich  JPY315
Comments:
When I first saw these fruit sandwiches served at a company event in Tokyo, I was a little hesitant to try because I couldn't really imagine the mix of fruit+cream+bread.  But my Japanese colleague had strongly recommended me to try it and I was glad that I did!  A great combination indeed!
These are available at many department store food basements.  You would probably be tempted to try the assorted fruits sandwich however I always like strawberry the best with the cream and bread.
