Day Eleven - Tokyo

17th November 2022

How much Tokyo can we do in 3 days -- LETS GO!

Today is Ikebukuro -- first off, breakfast. We found some cute pastries, but also wanted McDonalds... Surprisingly -- some of the best Maccas Ive had in the longest time. Ben had the "World Cup Burger" and I had a Chicken Teriyaki burger and a strawberry and white chocolate pastry... OMG YUM. So good.

Next up to Sunshine City -- we are going to a Planetarium. There are about 5 (?) planetariums in Tokyo and some of them have cafe's and show movies, and we really just wanted to experience one. They're not super expensive and are a cute way to spend some time. We watched a documentary about space and the Earth -- it was in Japanese but, it had lovely music and amazing visuals. It gave us a chance to relax before our day really kicked off. We went to the Food Hall and looked at the over priced and fancy groceries, grabbed snacks -- of course. I went to the Evangelion Store and spent a small fortune, then NEXT -- to Harajuku.

There was a lot of construction happening along Takeshita Street so we didn't spend long in Harajuku -- but we did get the candied strawberries again (the ones in Arashiyama were better!) and went to Harajuku Zoo -- a petting zoo with small animals like meerkats, ferrets and apparently a capybara (I didn't see him!). They were cute and stinky! They seemed to be looked after well enough, but the monkey there wasn't having a good time. :(

As we were walking back to the station we were looking in the P's First shop (Petshop) and the girl was getting sassy with us for being tourists -- a guy was walking 16 dogs at one time! So cute! SO MANY FLOOFERS!

Apparently I haven't tortured Ben's feet enough today -- so our next stop is Shibuya, and we walked. It's honestly quicker than the train at 6pm, and its a nice walk. On the look out for food always, we walked past some interesting spots to check out later... but we are going to the Nintendo Store before they close.

The Nintendo Store is part of the Shibuya Parco and its on the same level as the Pokemon Centre, as well as some other nerdy shops like Capcom and some Anime brands I don't know. The Animal Crossing merch was my favourite -- I almost cried when I saw you could buy the floor mat, the slippers, hat, shirt, fan... all the Nook branded items from Animal Crossing New Horizons. That game was so much to me during 2020 lockdown and recovery.

There was a huge line to check out, and Ben went and sussed the food options on other floors while I waited in line. We tried a ramen that claimed it was Tonkatsu, but it DEFINITELY had fish in it and it was not good. Even I couldn't stand it. Ah well. One failed meal! Not too bad?

Downstairs there was another area with bars and izakaya type places with some finger foods. We had some olives with bread and an amazing yuzu olive oil and some cocktails. Then we went somewhere else for sake tasting -- then I managed to convince Ben to go to a Drag Bar where there was a Japanese Drag Queen! It was amazing. Back to the hotel and I relised, we still hadn't really eaten much since breakfast... I got Ben to find another ramen restaurant close to us and we managed to find an absolute WINNER. The pickled ginger was crunchy, like nothing I have ever eaten before... the Melon Soda was huge. Bigger than a pint glass -- and the ramen. So good.

Ben was happy!

IG Post: "Day Ten: Ikebukuro, Harajuku, Shibuya

Now, no judgement on the maccas first up. It was actually really good! I love getting McDonald’s in foreign countries.. the menu is always different and it was amazing. I had a Teriyaki Chicken Burger with a white chocolate and strawberry pastry thing… it was AMAZING. 🥰

The rest of the day we snacked… then we were starving and tried to find some food. Ramen? It wasn’t good. I left it out of the photos. So instead we got snacks and got drunk on sake. 🍶

When Ben was still hungry, it was late night ramen adventure and we found a winner. It was so yum!"

"First full day in Tokyo so we are heading to the big ones first. Starting with Ikebukuro to the Planetarium— no photos though. It was a nice, relaxing movie about Earth and how things work. (In Japanese…) but the music was nice and the visuals were awesome.

After, we went shopping, ended up in Harajuku and visited an animal cafe and I got to hang out with a furry noodle and a meerkat, who was very lovely.

The new Pokémon game is coming out tomorrow, so I made the genius decision to go to the Nintendo store today; before it gets mental. The Nintendo store is awesome. I cried… you’ll have to wait for my vlog 😂

After, we tried to find some food… but being that both Ben and I aren’t fish eaters… it gets tricky. The ramen we settled on definitely had some sort of fish in it and we couldn’t finish it. So we just got drunk instead. Found a drag Queen bar and then walked back to Shibuya station to see the crossing and Hachiko. 🐕🥹🙏"

•👄 Proverbi & Detti popolari: da San Martino l'inverno è in cammino. A Novembre l'inverno comincia a far capolino portando i primi freddi e le prime nebbie: "November mai content, denanz te scalda e dedree el te ofend." "L'estaa de San Martin la dura trii di e on ciccin". Solitamente dall'11 al 13 Novembre dovrebbe risplendere il sole "l'estate di San Martino". Una data-simbolo che scandisce il corso delle stagioni.

Day Thirteen - Tokyo (oops)

19th November 2022

Well, someone drank too much last night. (it was me)

So instead of doing things I had planned… I had to stay in bed all day and nurse a stupid hangover.

Ben wanted McDonalds so I sent him on a solo adventure to go and get it. He really just wanted the McGriddle but they didn’t even have it — poor monkey.

Anyway; I did manage to drag myself out of bed at around 4pm and the mission was to get the Italian ramen hybrid that I’ve been wanting for 4 years.

We went to Shinjuku to find Taiyou No Tomato-Men and there was a QUEUE!! We waited for like, 20 mins? Which isn’t bad. But the food looked EPIC! It was at the top of a shopping mall, alongside other restaurants; which also looked yum. There was even a Disney themed one for a dark battle game they gave here called Twisted Wonderland.

The food was epic. I wore a bib (for laughs, but also because messy?). We ordered cheesy gyoza which were the best. They were crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Holy shit. Ben ordered 2/10 chilli which came with a cereal bowl with almost 3/4 of a cup of chilli flakes — we joked about what 10/10 chilli would be and if they just brought you a wheelbarrow.

After the ramen, we walked to Omiyode Yokocho which is an alley of eateries. I kind of wish we had more time here now because theres so much to explore. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME!!

Tomorrow we are off to Disneyland!! IG Post:

"Oops. I drank too much and wrote myself off. I tried to eat McDonald’s but couldn’t. So I ended up sleeping until 4pm and then decided it was time to finally get Tomato Ramen.

I’ve literally been dying to come back to Tokyo to have this chain of ramen since 2019 and it was so good. Tomato based, Italian Ramen. The dumplings were next level. I’m going to need to go back. 🥰"

"It took me three attempts to post this so here we go again 😂

After drinking too much in Shinjuku on Friday night, I wrote myself off and stayed in bed until 4pm with probably the worst hangover I've ever had abroad. Oops! But, a day of relaxing is probably needed because we've done approximately 150kms walking since we got to Japan. Eep!

When I could function, we adventured to get Tomato Ramen which was great. Then, to the Shinjuku Disney store. Which only opened a few weeks ago. It was lovely. I cried. Of course. 🥲

Then we wandered around Shinjuku, looking around Omiyode Yokocho to get some Street food but they were busy (it was a Saturday night after all). Then back to the hotel to pack for our last stop... Tokyo Disney Resort!"
