We walked from her hotel to Ginza and explored
Saw this giraffe objet, not sure who made it or why
love their brand of peanut butter
We also checked out the Iwate Antenna Shop
Lunch was at Pyon Pyon Sha, which serves Morioka style reimen (cold noodles)
After lunch we went to look for some items that V wanted to buy.
And ended up at Coredo Muromachi, a rather large shopping mall
There was even a tiny shrine, Fukutoku
And since we were nearby, we checked out Imoya Kinjiro, which I've been wanting to try.
V gave a lot of goodies, thank you!
We've had this in the past in Iwate, and at this shop.
Our lunch also came with "cook your own" meat...kalbi and harami (skirt steak)
V said some of her meat was tough, I thought mine was okay
Was kinda blazing so we were thankful for a/c
My photos uploaded wonky, this was the salad, namul and sauce for the meat
We wrapped our cooked meat in the salad...love
It was V's first time trying Morioka style reimen, hope she enjoyed it.
They make all sorts of snacks with sweet potato from Kochi Prefecture.
I bought a small bag of kenpi, strips of sweet potato that are fried and candied.
These were good, not too hard or too sticky. I can see why they are so popular
You can also purchase their "just fried" kenpi, wouldn't mind trying this when the weather gets colder.
Thanks for today V! have a safe trip back to Hawaii.

Even the grocery store looks high-end in Ginza. You had a pretty nice day exploring there...thanks for sharing it. Never visited Ginza.

Thanks Bonny, I adjusted my post, it is a high end store. Hope you get a chance to check out Ginza the next time you are here. Take care. Kat
When I come back in Nov I hope to revisit those shops again. Loved the sweet potato sticks! And the Morioka reimen. Impressed that they turn the grill on for the yakiniku instead of just serving already grilled. Loved the whole experience and hope they still have the watermelon in November!

Most places let you grill your own meat V, the fruit might be asian pear or apple in November, we can go again to both of these places. Take care, Kat
Oh boy, more places to explore on our next visit Kat!
We'll be waiting to see you two, Kirk, Take care, Kat
