Tokyo

It was a much quieter day today, we went to Tomorrow cafe, an old Japanese style Cafe in the old part of Asakusa. The seating was tight for us big foreign folk. The breakfast was very good, we had cheese toast with scrambled eggs, miso soup and salad with a coffee. We wandered around the heavily touristed streets, checking things out. It's mid-30s and humid as a bastard.

We wandered around the Matsuya department store, and their food hall is fantastic. There are many floors of shopping, including a home wares floor that had a very Ikea feel 😄

Lunch was the iconic Mos Burger, I love this, it's so much better than Maccas or the like.

We rested in the arvo to avoid the heat of the day. We enjoyed an arvo beer at 'home' and then went on a small pub crawl. Starting at Sumidagawa Brewing and then Asakusa Smiles Bar ( I couldn't make that up).

Dinner was at a Japanese chain family restaurant, Jonathon's, I read about it in a Japanese detective novel (as one does). It's a cheap and cheerful place, and with $7 double whiskey highballs, I'm not complaining.
