monday was a free day, so jane, dano, and i took the yamanote north to roam ginza and the tokyo forums. as much as i <3 tokyo, the one thing that irked me on each visit was their habit of not opening anything til 10am. crissakes why?? im oot and aboot...open your doors damnit! let me waste my money! blah, so while we waited for stores to open, we wandered the halls of the tokyo forums. up and down, over and under...the forums still an amazing place. we took a breakfast break at a coffee shop across from the forums, then headed over to harajuku. we grabbed a ramen lunch from jangara, then wandered aimlessly thru ura-hara. after getting pooted out from all the walking, we took a break back at the hotel before meeting up with g+r in nakano for dinner. we headed to one of g's favorite spots that we just referred to as master's (the head honcho's master...never even got the name of his restaurant). anyhoo, he served us every kind of chicken dish possible, roasted, sashimi, etc. it was all yum. we even tried out his custom shochu drinks. the first batch...mixed with coffee...was pretty good. he ran out of that tho, so we switched over to his other shochu batch, which put me to sleep. like seriously, not trashed...just sleeeepy. *gurgle* the rest of the nites sorta blurry...
*full set already up on flickr eh.
