I was planning to pay a visit to Yanaka yesterday but the weather was iffy. In fact it started to rain as soon as I reached the place. Looking for a shelter for the time being I dropped into an unexpected Aladin's cave where I had a wonderful lunch that considerably cheered me up.
Yes, all this for me alone! And that was after I had already gobbled up the soup, and before they came with dried apricots and dates (the best dried dates I ever ate). I don't exactly know what everything was but I can say that it involved liver and kidney and pickled garlic. All this for 1080¥ (11$ - 8E)!
It was nice talking to them as the waterpipe experience made them kind of happy-giggly without being silly (yet).
I'll go back for sure!
OK, that settles it -- I need to visit you.
ReplyDeleteYour life is like another planet. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you girls. It sometimes feels this way indeed. If you come visit we'll have Iranian lunch, yes! :-))
ReplyDeleteYUM! Did you finish it? Any pain killing benefits in that shisha?? Yes, let's put Yanaka on the list!! (the cemetery looks interesting, too..)
ReplyDeleteCouldn't finish :-) Maybe you should try the shisha! Yanaka cemetery is my favorite cherry blossom viewing spot. Not in september unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI like to smoke my lunch too!
ReplyDeleteThen it's the place for you. They had about twenty flavors available. Those guys chose apple. Boring...
ReplyDeleteI would have chosen eel.
ReplyDeleteI would have chosen cheese.
ReplyDeleteBut did they offer you a doggie bag? dean
ReplyDeleteYes they did
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flavor is $T0N3D!!!!
ReplyDelete:-o Well that has put a serious damper on my Bob fancy. Not the best he has ever looked is it? Did he maybe skip his morning coffee?
