Ginza, the Champs-Elysee of Tokyo with a lot of shopping. I am not a shopper but there was something for everyone in this neighborhood, huge department stores, designer shops as well as an Apple store. This was a short stop and I could have spent the better part of an afternoon. We went into the Mitsukoshi department store, about the size of Macy’s in NYC. We went to the lower floor where the entire floor was made up of food stalls selling all sort of good things from sweets, to breads, to tonkatsu. I could have lunch there everyday for a year and not get tired of it.
Some of the vendors were giving out free samples and I stumbled across this one vendor that made a soft spongy bread with various flavors swirled in – such as caramel, peach liqueur, cinnamon or green tea. I couldn’t resist and bought a loaf. Sophon purchased Dorayaki (read bean pancakes).
Have you ever seen a square or pyramid-shaped watermelon? Maybe I am reading the card wrong but I believe it cost $156 in US dollars.
