Tabela in Shibuya

I had a meeting with a distribution company called Uplink. They have a couple of small movie theaters and this excellent restaurant called Tabela. It is food from around the world.

Tempura

Trina suggested a decades-old tempura restaurant in Asakusa called Nakase. Delicious.

A Big Dinner

We're just back from a very bizarre dinner in a restaurant on the 25th floor. I'll save the review for later - but here are 6 of the 9 courses.

Picnic In Kyoto

We walked through a huge bamboo forest to have a picnic in a park. Bento Boxes.

And finally delicious cherry pudding (think a mild cherry flavored flan).

Lunch of Okonomiyaki.

Coffee and tarts. The one I shot of Stevie's strawberry shortcake was too blurry.

Food Porn and Shopping

We took it a little easier on the sightseeing Tuesday. Even as walk-everywhere-New Yorkers, our feet get damn tired, too. These are all a bit random but then so is Tokyo.

We found this place to eat called Lotus in Aoyama. Have to say it's one of the coolest spots we've been to yet. We didn't want to leave. Look at that food!

And the coffee!

And the dessert!

We had bibimbop for dinner with tempura shrimp on top. Delish!

Dinner in Roppongi

We had dinner at a touristy but tasty restaurant called Gonpachi in Roppongi on Monday night. Yakitori and sake, yum!

This place is big.

Aoyama

We're a little behind in updating but we all knew that would happen, no? We are on vacation after all. But before we leave for Kyoto tomorrow morning, a quicky update of our last couple days. We spent the day in Aoyama on Monday.

Caught this red truck going past a yellow building. Lucky shot.
