ikegami

Sunday we went up the street  to Ikegami Honmonji for hatsumode

It wasn’t krazy crowded, maybe it was too early  (10:00-ish) or maybe everyone went on the first couple of days of the New Year

Afterwards we headed to Marugame to stand in line because they open at 11

We were first! whoo and only had to wait about 20 minutes

Satoshi got the tamago ankake with kakiage and a musubi (no photo)

Kat tried something different and got the kaki butter bukkake

The oysters are fried tempura style so the coating is light and they give you 5 of them

Shoyu butter combo is so ono!

With bukkake you don’t drink the soup because it is concentrated, so it was just there to coat everything

And the lemon brightens everything

This shop is teeny in comparison to the one we ate at in Kamata so if you don't get in for the 1st seating, expect to wait

We were happy we tried this location and were able to use some of our coupons...

Oh and if you were wondering, most businesses went back to work on the 2nd, but supermarkets didn't start until the 4th! and some businesses start their winter break from Monday

Must be a franchise, but it seems like a lot of these shops are popping up 

Hope this location will succeed, we’ll be back
