Taking train to somewhere we never been to
We are here at Tsukiji
Even we visited Tokyo for couple times already, we never pay a visit to the famous Tsukiji market.
The Tokyo city gov’t has set to move the Tsukiji market by Fall 2018 to make room for the 2020 Olympics.
Not sure we’ll be back next year; may as well take a look at this historic place before it get moved.
first thing first, I need my morning coffee fix.
Jetlag is making me so tired during day time especially during the last leg of the trip.
A lot of food stalls means a lot of tourist’s trap
I am so ready to enjoy my breakfast. Not sure about them.
Lets start eating.
4K for a beef stick? no thanks… very 肉赤.
They got other skewers too.
Miyazaki Wagyu
500 yen for a 大福
We got the grill scallops with uni on top.
Not bad wor.. the scallops are huge.
立食oyster stall
甲羅燒, we will have that on the last day.
Freshly opened uni in the shell.
We were seated upstairs.
almost 6k a bowl.
Aiden got something to eat too.
Wow, look at this. Really 5 diff uni.
排山倒海式
Very creamy and you don’t have the sea water taste in the uni.
So fresh So Good… only if you are uni lover like me.
大滿足
But here for their Uni Bowl
Inside the alley in Tsukiji market. Easy to miss if you don’t pay attention.
Sushi bar downstairs.
People coming here for chirashi bowl are very 嘥氣. its like going to burger joint to eat tacos.
Out of many other restaurants, this is the place I picked, not for sushi set, not for chirashi bowl.
Local people lining up too.
More food outside.
Amy pushing the tank through the crowd.
Oysters are not cheap here.
But they are big, not bad.
Look at the crowd.
And all the sudden, huge crowd people are lining in front this store. Tamago omelet. 100yen only.
She likes it.
Dried squid.
a 鬼佬 making you tamago?
no thanks.
lets get some ice cream.
1 black sesame and 1 carmel
The caramel is way too sweet.
Black sesame taste much better.
Look at her sleepy eyes.
but can’t resist the yummy ice cream.
This is one of the store I wanted to try too, Tuna bowl. Too bad we were too full.
Beef Don.. huge line. wrapping around.
maybe come back here next time. A chicken restaurant with locals lining up early in the morning.
I was going to print some postcards, but failed.
Off to our next adventure.
Diver City
This is a new Gundam Unicorn, the last Gundam RX 78-2 got replaced this year.
The new one suppose to be able to transform to unicorn mode.
Very excited to see it transform, right?
I think this new one has more details than the last one.
Although it’s not as “colorful’ as the last RX78-2 model.
But it looks cool tho.
Guarding the Diver City Plaza
Crowd started to gather in front to wait for the transforming show.
I think there were a girl group performing/singing in front of the Gundam Cafe in the back.
The transforming show only happen every 2 hrs, 11a, 1p, 3p, 5p, 7p.
A mere 30 sec show.
by this time, Amy and the kids already disappeared from the crowd.
They are still singing. no filming please.
Who cares?
After the very LAME Gundam show. Amy requested to go on the ferris wheel next door.
Jadynn never gotten on one.
Passing thru the Toyota show place.
This will be the new japanese taxi
same as the one in London.
慘不忍睹
Back to the Toyota place.
The clam soup is very salty and 腥…
Amy said this is a toilet seat.
Finally found the limited Tokyo station edition of kit-kat, with the Tokyo Banana flavor. not bad gah if you like the Tokyo Banana cake.
We were walking around and around in the undergound shopping mall and finally saw it.
Limited 2 per person.
Heading to Ebisu tonight for dinner.
Recommended by ToORiMa.
Hidden at the end of an small alley.
All local Japanese customer only.
with a lot of family with kids
This place gotta be good.
ahh.. they do have english menu.
Extra assorted tempura. This is pretty good, of course can’t compare to 左月女天婦羅… but already better than a lot of tempura restaurants.
Tamago
Amy got the Tempura set udon.
My beef udon. also very good.
People lining up outside by the time we leave.
Amy was still hungry since the kids almost finished her bowl of udon.
We are here for 2nd dinner.
Dessert of the night, Cream roll cake.
