first time seeing this metasequoia, most times I'm coming down the street toward JR Asakusabashi station so I think the building camoflagued it and I've never noticed it, it was huge!

Went to Ambika, the last time was back in 2019.

Picked up some snacks to try...halwa, black pepper banana chips, golden mix and coconut soan papdi

Shinonome Seipansho...they open at 12, which to me is super late.

I usually like getting out early, get my errands done then get back home before all the crowds start.

I was first in line...tried their kouign amann, so buttery and flaky! love..350 yen (tax included)

cheese, edamame, mushroom and bacon...the bread was a little hard, but the burnt cheese so ono! 400 yen (tax included)

croquante...flaky, with lots of nuts and caramel, loved this too...400 yen (tax included)

They also have a scone and cookie shop nearby but they weren't open on this day.

I'll plan better to be able to get to both next time.
