akihabara

The LCD (liquid crystal display) on our landline phone died a while back and we finally got around to buying a new phone.

The phone that died had a fax machine attached to it but we rarely use it these days, so we got a phone without the fax option.

My only peeve with this new phone is that the display is all in katakana...oh well, at least we can now see who is calling...

Lunch was at Spajiro...which I think is a combination of the words spaghetti and Jiro...

I got the Wa-style Basilico...this had shiso (perilla) bacon and a chili oil sauce.

This was tasty but didn't really look too pretty.

I did like the fact that you can choose the amount of pasta you wanted.

Small is 100 grams, Medium 120 grams, Large 170 grams.

Satoshi had the salmon with mentaiko (spicy pollack roe) cream pasta which he said he enjoyed.

After lunch, we bought some doughnuts from Jack in the Donuts and snuck them into Starbucks so we could have them with coffee.

Satoshi had the chocolate fashion...a cake doughnut covered with chocolate.

I chose the oliebollen cinnamon...while there were a lot of raisins in this there wasn't too much flavor.

Still, we were glad we tried this place.

We'll be back to these places to try other things off their menus when we are in the area.

When we lived in Osaka, Yodobashi Camera was closer.

We don't get to Akihabara too often, but it definitely is great to look for electric gadgets here.
