11806

Yesterday it rained and was super cold, but we needed to go out so that Satoshi could see where the Australia Embassy is.

The trees in Azabujuban where the embassy is located were already starting to lose its petals...

Then he wanted to see where the Imperial Hotel was so we went to Hibiya

I think Frank Lloyd Wright designed this hotel.

I was intrigued by all the mosaics and tiling in the different stations as we made our way to Azabujuban and Hibiya
Lunch was at Curry Labo Tokyo...I chose the 15 vegetable curry with a ripened tomato curry roux...1700 yen (tax included) + 200 yen coffee

Large portion and lots of differently seasoned veggies...love!

I think they gave me Satoshi's curry choice though because this curry was demiglace sauce based and didn't have much tomato flavor...

Amao matcha cheesecake to share...1200 yen (tax included)

Super sweet strawberries top a very bitter matcha cheesecake.

The custard used to hold the strawberries on top of the cheesecake helped to balance everything out.

Satoshi's curry aigake (two curry) left spicy spinach and right matsusaka beef...1500 yen (tax included) + 200 yen coffee.

I'm pretty sure his matsusaka beef was what I was given because my curry had nice big pieces of beef...oops

I think next time we should share because their portions were quite large.

I wouldn't mind trying other curries on their menu (I think they had like 12 different choices), we’ll be back

Since we were already at Hibiya Park and the rain didn't seem like it was going to stop, we took in the cherry blossoms as we walked to the train station.

The cherry blossom season is definitely too quick this year.

Still, I hope to get out and see more areas.
