Our second day was spent exploring the National Gallery and lots of walking around.  We stopped in to Caffe Concerto for breakfast.  That seems to be a chain of sorts.  The inside was charming

Lots of pastries in a display case

Breakfast was not very good.  I had a baked egg with tomato sauce and too much ricotta cheese

Husband went for the full English.

That night we went to Nobu for dinner.  We opted for the classic omakase and asked the waiter to do a beverage tasting of his choosing.  He paired our food with a mix of sake, red and white wines.  Cocktails

First course, toro belly sashimi

third course, sushi.  More bream, tuna, horse mackerel (my favorite) and  I forget what the fourth one was!  The cup has a chopped tuna sushi.

Next, miso black cod

 

1633420295_nobumisocod.thumb.jpg.1e044bf01723921aa9c7d0289db78dbd.jpg

 

Followed by hot pot.  Husband had waygu steak and I don't eat red meat so they brought me toro

This was a ton of food and we were stuffed, so went for a long walk afterwards.  We found a Christmas fair near our hotel and decided to explore.  Of course I had to take photos of some of the food stalls even though I was too stuffed to try anything 🙂
