Eating In Tokyo - Day 1

After a rest in our room, we head out to check out the nearby area (Ginza and Shiodome).

Raimie of course can't resist asking us to buy him a drink and whining about being soooo thirsty after passing by all those drinks vending machines. So we got him one with a cute can for 100yen. We later re-used that can and put plain water instead. Better to drink water and not too much of sugary drinks.

Bought Raimie some Sushi at a basement food area in Shimbashi station. It was just 490yen, which he ate on an outdoor bench at Shiodome Tower.

Dinner was at this shop, located at Yurakucho station.

We entered the shop, placed our order at the cashier, paid up and was shown to a table upstairs.
Our table. It was quite spacious and as we were there before 6.00pm, no other guests were there yet. What we ate:

Raimie's salmon set at 590yen. The salmon, unfortunately was a bit hard and dry.
Zaini's Sanma set. Again, the fish was grilled until it became a bit too dry.
My set at 960yen. It was nice and really filling. But what I love the most was the gobo (burdock root) side dish provided. Yummy!

Food came within minutes after we were seated. A staff showed us a table, took our receipt and voila, food was served. Pretty efficient.

Dinner was just 2,360yen. Pretty affordable, right? What shall we eat tomorrow, I wonder? ^-^
