A Japanese Food Court Experience In Kawasaki

Still writing about our visit to Kawasaki...

We learn early on, on previous trips; to always take whatever promotional handouts given out because some of them might actually save us some $$$. That and the packets and packets of free tissues readily given out in Japan, though a friend who just came back from a trip there complained that the free tissues handouts had lessen considerably now.

We wouldn't have known about the Eki Cafe at Kawasaki station or be interested to check the place out if not for the coupons being given out to commuters and passers-by at the station. Those are discount coupons to be used at outlets in the food court.  The food was reasonably priced and we ended up visiting the food court twice while we were in Kawasaki.

Travelling all the way to Japan, I had bibimbap for lunch in a Kawasaki food court. LOL I didn't order any drinks because water was free here.

A nifty little device that lets you know it's time to collect your food. It will beep (and continue to do so) when your food is ready to be collected. No need for the shop owner to holler for you! Just hand back the device and you get your food.

Raimie had two shrimp onigiris (rice balls). Here in the photo, he was on his way to eat his second onigiri.

Udon for Zaini. The portion was HUGE! He had two different sets on our two visits. The second one was the cheaper one with the voucher we got and there was free carbonated drinks thrown in too.

Food was good and the price was better at this food court but having to share eating space with smokers wasn't exactly a nice experience. There was a section for smokers and one for non-smokers, but you'll inevitably go in the smoker's section to make your way to order your food. Needless to say, although we enjoyed our food, we didn't linger here.
