jimbocho

There is an area called Jimbocho.

There are tons of bookstores in this area for all sorts of consumers and collectors, as well as publishing companies.

While I was waiting for Satoshi, I walked around this area and noticed this objet.

Apparently it is the site where Japanese baseball got its start.

I thought it was cool that the ball was a globe.

Lunch was at a place called Kitchen Calorie (cool name yeah?!)

I had their omurice (fluffy omelette topped chicken "fried" rice). This also came with a salad.

I thought their ketchup would be sweet and overpowering but I think it was mixed with some of their demiglace sauce so the sauce was just right.

Satoshi had their jumbo fried shrimp plate.

This also came with a hamburger, fried onions, pasta, corn AND rice.

Their portions are quite large, but everything is reasonably priced and the food comes out quite quickly.

Satoshi is already planning a re-visit...ahem!

Coffee with cheesecake at Dix Ans.

Camembert and marscapone cheeses were used to make this...delicious.

Satoshi had their roll cake which was really sweet.

This place is pricey but super quiet and laid back.

I'd come back for the coffee and just hang out reading or something.

The wind was fahreezing but at least the sun was out.
