shinbashi & akasaka

Satoshi wanted to check out some things for another upcoming tour so we headed to Shinbashi

While he does his checking, I usually hang out somewhere

One thing I did while I was waiting for him was watch the Shinkansen pass by....short video here.

After he checked what he needed to, we headed to Akasaka.

Again, while he checked things, I waited for him.

When he was done, we went to get some lunch at Authentic

It was my second time here, and first time for Satoshi.

The owner cooks everything to order so it does take time and on this day, he had just seated 9 people, so we would need to wait quite awhile if we wanted to eat there...

At least there were seats at the counter, so while we waited, Satoshi organized his notes...FYI do not sit at the counter unless you want to smell like you just cooked hamburgers…ha!

Satoshi had their egg burger with bacon...1290 yen plus 220 yen (plus tax)

And he also had a cup of coffee...400 yen (plus tax)

Satoshi said he enjoyed his burger


I had the chili cheese burger with oolong tea 1550 yen plus 440 yen (plus tax)

Loved this, the chili could have been a little spicier but was still delicious.

The chili was different because there were potatoes and olives in it

I started off eating it from the paper wrapper, but it got too messy so I switched to knife and fork

The fries were better on this day.

After lunch, we went back to Shinbashi for Satoshi to check out more things

A lot of times what he is checking is the train station, where to get off, where things are located, so that he can guide his clients smoothly.

It was quite a long day but he got to check all the areas he was concerned with.
