Tokyo

We had breakfast at Dutour Cafe this morning before walking in and around Asakusa. We wandered around the Senso-Ji temple complex - we have been here last trip, and this time, there were many more tourists.

We took the metro to Ginza, shopping central in Tokyo, and wandered through the Mitsukoshi department store food hall. The selection of fresh food was amazing and we bought some stuff for lunch. The next challenge was finding a seat outside in the shade - we located a shady spot near a water mister and enjoyed our bento and juice.

We wandered through Ginza Itoya, a multilevel stationery store, which is very impressive. We took the metro to Skytree Tower, Tokyo's tallest building, to walk around another market. The 15-minute walk home in 33c heat almost melted us.

We have a reservation at Chez Olivier's, a Michelin starred French restaurant we went to 5 years ago. We stopped for a drink at Kamiya Bar in Asakusa, an old-school wood panelled pub. We then took the metro to Chiyoda city to the Sky Gallery Lounge Levita, located on the 35th floor with awesome cityscape views and cocktails.

We arrived at Chez Olivier's, and we had the most amazing degustation menu. It was a quiet night, and the service was very personalised with the chef delivering many of the dishes. We were so stuffed we got a taxi back to our apartment. A great night out!Читать далее
