Tune In Tokyo - Part 1

The Typhoon last week did not end up affecting the trip to Tokyo, too much. Our flight was fine, a little bumpy, but nothing serious. We got in and headed to our hotel in Shibuya.

I picked up an interesting beverage at the airport...RED WINE in a CAN! A Cabernet Shiraz Merlot from Australia apparently. It tasted cheap. Would recommend it only for the novelty and if you like the taste of tinny wine :(

That night we went to meet some friends of A's that she met while living in Redding, California many years ago. We went to a yakitori restaurant. Yakitori is basically all kinds of meats (usually chicken) and veggies on a wooden skewer, grilled over charcoal. The place we went was very tasty and pretty cheap for Tokyo, only 280 yen (about $3) for every item on the menu. Unfortunately I was too busy chatting and eating to take any pics of the food. But here is a good group shot.

For dessert we ordered some hot tea and these yummy Strawberries.

The Strawberries were fresh and then frozen with the middle core removed and filled with Condensed Milk. They were super yummy!
