It is cousin D's first visit to Japan and she is loving it.
They finally came back towards Tokyo so we were lucky that they made some time for us.
We first went through the outer market of Tsukiji.
Lots of "window shopping".
And then we went to check out the "new Tsukiji" called Toyosu and on the way stopped into Kanda Daruma for a snack.
Taiyaki (fish shaped pancake outside filled with either sweet bean paste or custard)...Satoshi and I shared a sweet bean paste filled one.)
Loved the crispy edges!
We were too late to see the auctions, but it was still cool to see the market areas.
Lunch was at Toritoh where everything is chicken based...and because there was no line (everyone was standing in lines for sushi)...
This shop has been in business since 1907 (and still has heir main shop at Tsukiji).
I tried the oyako curry which was basically an oyakodon with curry on it.
The curry was spicy, the egg oozy, the chicken tender.
I loved how they put the shoyu based oyakodon sauce onto the rice before putting the curry on...sweet salty (and spicy)!
It was our first time to Toyosu and Shimokitazawa...I can't wait to go back to Shimokitazawa to explore some more.
I tried their reuben which was super cheesy, loved it.
It was nice catching up with family and exploring new areas of Tokyo.

That Reuben looks ono. I've been craving a grilled cheese sandwich. Haven't had one in forever.
again, that taiyaki with the crispies still attached, Yummmm.
Oyako don with curry sounds sugoi. Gonna have to try that sometime.

That curry looks delicious Kat. And I read that Toyosu is even going to have a hotel on the property, set to be completed around 2023!
yes they do Alan!
it was good Jalna, hope you get a grilled cheese sandwich soon :)
it was good with the edges V!
Take care everyone.

to me, Toyosu is so far away from Tsukiji Kirk, I'm glad we got to check out the place though :)
Take care.
