Culture: Local coffee shop

i went to Jinbocho, an old area of Tokyo where one can find old book shops, second hand books everywhere, traditional publishing and printing companies and old style coffee shops. My friend took me to one of those and it was really a fun experience. It felt like stepping back in what I imagine the old Tokyo was like. We had jelly coffee and cake.

   
   

The great sushi experience

We went to a great sushi restaurant for lunch, called Kidoguchi in Omotesando. The chef and his commis chefs prepared the sushi in front of us at the counter and handed them to us as they were ready. Each piece of sushi was so fresh and incredible! I really wanted to take my time to eat them…



Visit: Tokyo/Ginza area – old and new

We went to the Tokyo area to visit a modern area near the Imperial palace. Really enjoyed the old red brick building in front of tall modern office buildings.

Similarly, the old styled kabuki theater in front of skyscrapers.
