15462

Sunday, we wanted to check out the basement arcades of Shinjuku that we learned about from a television show.

Godzilla Road
Kabukicho sign
New Kabukicho Tower


Underground area near Lumine. 

The show said these areas were cooler…not!
Lunch was at Curry House 11 Imasa

mini curry for Kat...360 yen (tax included) comes with hard boiled egg & sausage

Katsu curry for Satoshi 740 yen (tax included)
so cheap and delicious...in business for 60 years...we'll be back
 







Stood in line at Oiwake Dango for shaved ice...Uji Matcha Kintoki...1595 yen (tax included)

So good and so much azuki!
Daruma gatcha...500 yen

Daruma from the 47 prefectures of Japan
You aren't allowed to keep the daruma that rolls out, but receive a prize instead...the daruma that rolled out was Hyogo, we received this yuzu cider from Hyogo

We also bought some dango from Oiwake Dango...I tried their shoga (ginger) with nori...savory!

And I've tried the ume myoga in the past, this didn't disappoint.

The humidity and heat have been brutal, hopefully it will start to cool down soon.

Curry House 11 Imasa
