Saw this on social media and made reservations for us to go.

On the grounds of the Tsukiji Hongwanji is a cafe called Tsumugi (which is a chain type).

The 18 item breakfast from 8:00...2200 yen (tax included)

13 toppings, 3 "dessert" items, okayu (rice porridge) & miso soup. (some items are from Tsukiji Outer Market vendors)

The okayu is all you can eat, I didn't have more than what I was served but Satoshi had seconds.

You can also choose hot or cold tea, we chose hot.

Unlike Shojin ryori meals which are vegan, this breakfast has some vegan and non-vegan items.

The reason this is 18 items is it is based on the 18th vow of Buddhism (there are a total of 48 vows)

If you want to try this breakfast, you should definitely make reservations because they serve the people with reservations this breakfast first.

This was different and delicious, I'm glad we got to try this.

I'd never visited the Tsukiji Hongwanji, so we went to pay our respects.

Loved the stained glass above the door!

Across the street in the Tsukiji Outer market, we stopped at Sanokiya which makes maguroyaki.

You can choose from different fillings, we shared this honmaguro which was filled with sweet bean paste...280 yen (tax included)

We needed some coffee so we stopped at Mejicafe...I ordered their "gin & tonic"(colombian anaerobic lime cold brew with tonic water)...650 yen (tax included) delicious!

Satoshi had their Vietnam Whiskey Barrel Aged...680 yen (tax included)

*be patient it is one man operated shop and pour over style

Namiyoke Shrine, this was my first time here.

The tomb of the egg, there is also the tomb of the shrimp, sushi and fish.

Huge lion heads (male), the red one is (female)

And then we saw this line in front of Le Pain and had to try their different croissants...chestnut paste and sweet bean paste...300 yen (tax included) each.

Still warm and so buttery!

We found one of the shops that sold the bettarazuke that was part of our breakfast...Yoshiokaya...480 yen (tax included)

The woman was so happy that we mentioned the breakfast and that we enjoyed their tsukemono.

No walking and eating! I didn't know that was a rule around Tsukiji Outer Market.

It was a beautiful day, lots of eating, and walking, we were happy to be out and about.
