Asakusa and Kappabashi
I'm having trouble logging into blogger and it is not lableing my posts with the correct dates. I'll have to fix that when I get home, unless I pop into an internet cafe while we are here.
Today, Tuesday the 20th, we got together with Michiko again and with her friend Fumiko. It was raining again and rather chilly. We started off at Asakusa, one of our favorite spots in Tokyo. We shopped the various stalls on Nakamise Dori and visited Tokyo's oldest shrine, Sensoji. We had lunch at Imahan, an old traditional restaurant one street over from Nakamise Dori. We had sukiyaki and were served traditional fashion sitting on the floor in a tatami room while our kimono-clad waitress came in and out the sliding shoji doors. After lunch we walked over to Kappabashi, the kitchen supply district, and shopped and browsed.
Later that evening we had dinner at Homeworks, another of our fave restaurants from our Tokyo days. This one is a western restaurant that specializes in burgers. They are really really good and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal.
