Tokyo Day 11
Posted in Japan on April 16th, 2009 by Tobin – 1 CommentToday Yuzo and I check out Don Quixote, a CRAZY eight story building that has every imaginable good and then some. Then we head out for monja-yaki for dinner, which I’ve not only never had before, but I’ve never even heard of.
Here’s my only bit of life in the hostel room. I bought a plant, and I put him in my empty one cup sake. It makes my tiny crappy room a little homier.
Hand made onigiri on the streets of Akihabara. Very cool. You pick what you want in it, and they make it to order.
This is a game where you put in money and try to grab piles of rocks. Seriously. It’s a game where the only prize is a fistful of small useless stones.
Bondage themed dongles for your cell phone. I’m sure your boss will appreciate that one. Or your girlfriend. Oh wait, you don’t have one if you have one of these.
Monja is crazy. It’s cheese, mochi (rice paste), and veggies and other ingredients like fish eggs, corn, meat, you name it. You throw it all on a grill until it’s firm, and then you scrape it off in little bites and eat it. It looks like vomit and tastes like heaven.
We have all decided that shochu is freaking disgusting and should never be drunk by anyone for any reason. Stick to sake.
