Where are you when we need you???



Tonight we found this weird little restaurant from the guidebook and promptly turned around and exited once we arrived. It advertised a Japanese experience with games. It was in a small basement room with four mats on the floor and was empty. Here is the link, to understand more about it:

We saw McDonald's everywhere, and KFC, a Denny's, even an Outback, but nary a Pizza Hut to be found. I did a little research - it apparently is here, and with this incredible looking "sausage roll" crust:







After finding that the restaurant from the guidebook wasn't what we expected, we wandered around Ginza, looking at plastic food models and picture menus before finally hitting a place called Fujiya, which was like a Japanese Denny's, with Japanese comfort food and ice cream desserts (maybe more like a Friendly's). It was perfect.

Bryan's photography skills are rivalling Nancy's these days, and I'll let him post some Tokyo at night pictures of the city's vertical signage on all the buildings that makes the city look like Times Square times ten. Tonight, I'll enjoy our last night of hotel sleep, and hopefully all the Buddha statues I rubbed today will somehow send me the knowledge overnight on where we can get a sausage roll crust for lunch before boarding our 13-hour flight home.
