Ginza/Shinjuku

We met back up with Richie to go to the Tsukiji market near Ginza. Very busy and lots going on with plenty of fish and food we hadn’t seen before. It was also very expensive so we ended up not having too much, but we did try some lovely tuna sashimi, A5 Wagyu beef and a fresh cream puff, which is one of my favourites.

I had my mandatory McDonalds cheeseburger as I plan to try one in each country - solid 9/10.

We had to say goodbye to Richard before visiting the 12 story Uniqlo for some shopping. For dinner we went back to Shinjuku and visited the alleys with tiny izakayas and tried skewers including pork belly, pork cheek, beef, chicken & leek and mushroom. The pork cheek was great!
Finished off the night with some plum wine at a Golden Gai bar.Read more
