@kayb - especially for you - a bit of film I caught of an utterly hypnotic sushi show on TV here - sorry about the camera wobble, I was overcome with sushi lust:
So after my yakisoba for breakfast, I went wandering my neighbourhood, which is very lovely - and only 5 minutes from the most famous coffee place in Japan, Koffee Mameya (formerly known as Omotesando Koffee).
It's in this custom-built cube house, and they are VERY serious about their coffee - but utterly friendly and smile-y and lovely to talk to. They were SO chuffed that I said I came all the way from Australia to try their coffee (which is not untrue.)
A very rich and lovely espresso, good for what ails me.
I basically spent the rest of the day wandering around and shopping for things, none of which are particularly eG-related - but I DID have a wee bit of sushi:
And then a stop in at Dominique Ansel's Tokyo outlet. It was madness!
I had a delicious frozen s'more - it's chocolate custard ice cream, frozen around sponge, with caramel praline for crunch, covered in marshmallow and torched to order.
And a hot chocolate with a blossoming flower marshmallow- I wasn't quite quick enough to get video of it, so here's somebody else's video.
I also got one of his famous kouign amann's to take home, which is where I now sit, peeling it directly into my mouth.
And because I don't like any of my apartment's coffee cups either, I bought myself this lovely concrete espresso cup at the Tokyo Centre for Design.
