[Ren tilts his head up a bit, trying to remember some exact numbers since he doesn't really look into that kind of thing incredibly often.] I think it's something like fourteen million people...? It's definitely where the biggest number of people live, though there's a few pretty huge and busy cities other than just Tokyo.

[Granted, depending on exactly how long ago Shino is from, Tokyo might not even be the capital yet, but Ren hasn't been able to put an exact time period on him yet, so it might be helpful information, honestly. In any case, he says it casually enough that it's definitely just a fact of life that the city is that big in Ren's time, and it means he's never had an issue adjusting to this city in comparison.]

It's just common sense to not have the very best thing first, isn't it? Even if it's not food.

[Either way, the way Ren eats implies he's a lot more used to both this style of cuisine and this level of quality, because while he does give a pleased little hum at the flavour, he's less outright in transports of delight than Shino. He'd be disappointed if they came all this way for anything that was subpar, so as far as he's concerned, this is just to be expected.]

Though from the sound of all that, you must not be used to having stuff this good either...
