(Tokyo) : tips and ideas

Sushi at 9 am at Tsukiji Fish Market





I wanted to see what a California roll was like in Japan. Contains no surimi, but is topped with shrimp and a slice of cucumber, and filled with tamago and avocado, and rolled in capelin roe, and drizzled with mayo. Cracked my friend and the sushi chef up that I had the nerve to order it.

Stuff I didn’t try


Set lunch at a Tonkatsu place called Maisen in Daimaru department store. It included a small breaded pork cutlet, a korroke (croquette), fried oyster and fried shrimp, with cabbage salad, seaweed salad (not the kind I’m used to), mixed pickles and rice for 1580 yen. My phone had no battery left so no photos. Here is a photo someone else took at the same restaurant.
