Asanobori
We have arrived! Although Jord and I are both zombies from the jet lag, it hasn’t stopped us (or even slowed us down much). Learning how to use local transport has been fairly painless. Probably because we’re old pros!
On our first night, we went to “Sushi-go-round”, a conveyer-belt sushi place here in eastern Tokyo. Such as everything else you learn while travelling, we learned that the different plate colours are used to determine the final cost. Pretty smart. So much sushi was consumed…
On our second day we skipped (not literally) over to Tsukiji Market, a famous fish market with vendors for all sorts of delicious eats and drinks (mostly on sticks — Waygu beef, BBQ Eel, Japanese omelette, rice dumplings, etc). Here we met up with a friend from Brazil in a small alley while doing a sake tasting. Later, even more sushi was consumed.
By this point we are now experts at the local trains, and headed over to the Imperial Palace district to watch some good ol’ fashioned Sumo.
Next stop: Kyoto.
