I don’t know why, but I had a craving for tuna fish. Maybe because I’ve had it over and over in Japan before in breakfasts and in the combini sandwiches and I just hadn’t had it lately. Luckily my sister agreed to go to Tully’s and the coffee was pretty good today fir a change.
After that we went to Kuromon market, where we just walked through and didn’t really stop. There’s a pretty amazing assortment of food there but it was absolutely packed with Chinese tourists, many more than when I was there last. But it’s definitely worth seeing.
My sister also wanted to go to a unique ice cream store and that turned out to be next to a bakery. The bakery also had a separate café and restaurant and we ate in the bakery’s restaurant for lunch. The sandwich was huge and I ate most of it.
The ice cream looked great and tasted even better. It was almost like a light gelato.
I was tired and had to go back and take a nap. Then we wandered over to Nakazakicho to see all the hipster shops. My sister saw a sign for a bar, Landnneur, with craft beers and they had four taps all with Japanese craft beers! And all good, too. A couple of the breweries were new, but the beers were good. I had three of the smaller glasses and chatted with the owner.
The area has regular hipster stuff, like lots of vintage goods, and we even saw a Japanese food truck!
I wasn’t going to have another pork cutlet for dinner (been eating a log of them lately) but my sister picked a curry place and what’s better than katsu curry?
And that’s about it for this day. Tomorrow it’s off to the countryside to visit another cousin and my aunt.
