Tokyo Shopping Spree

Today is a free day for us. As it's a business trip, we gotta do something, at least we gotta pretend that we're doing. kekeke... So we went to Amlux to collect some catalogues for cars and accessories. BTW, Amlux is a showroom displaying all Toyota cars in Ikebukuro. It's a one-stop showroom for all the Toyotas but no test drive here. If not, I will request to test the super expensive but old-man-looking Century. :p

And that's all the business for the day and shopping for the rest of the day. Actually, it's just 4 hours loh... didn't manage to shop much also. Burberry Blue Label in Japan is a must-buy if you like handbags. Reasonable price and you can't get in other countries outside of Japan, not even in London!! I bought 5 altogether. Don't misunderstand, only 2 for myself. I think I am having problems chucking them into my luggage. kekeke... it's normal! :p

Didn't even have time for lunch, we shopped till dinner time and went straight for dinner at Tsukiji fish market. Let me introduce the menu to you. kekeke...
As we did not have lunch, we didn't wait for all to arrive and ordered something to fill our stomach. We saw somebody eating fish head with radish and we pointed to the waiter that we wanna have one too. We ended up had two portions. So you know how nice it's huh. :p

The radish is fantastic!!


And starving for the whole day, the fish head is definitely not enough for four of us. So we had some Yasai Tempura and Seafood Salad too.

We had the Salmon Fish Roe Roll as well. It's called Ikura Maki in Nihon-go.

Just so little?? Of course not! These are just appertizer. For those who love sashimi, look at this one.



Salmon, Hamachi, Ebi, pink one i can't remember the name, scallop in the bowl and the maroon colour one is Tuna. And the fish is Tai. Super delicious! Just melts in my mouth... yummy...


The Tai is alive when it's served. So I don't need to explain on the freshness. It's called Ikezukuri if you wanna try. The shop is at Tsukiji opposite the Tsukiji Fish Market. Must try if you visit Tokyo next time.

And Nabe (steamboat) is good for cold weather now in Japan. It's hot. We ordered a seafood nabe with different type of fishes, oysters, clams, prawns and lotsa vege. In miso soup of course.


I am so full and still blotted. How can I forget to mention the sake and Kirin beer I had? :) They're also a must-have when you visit Japan.
