After clearing customs and getting our luggage, we went to purchase the Suica & N'EX round trip package for 5,500 yen each. We travelled by reserved seats on Narita Express to Tokyo station before transferring to the Yamanote line to Otsuka station. We had made reservations at Toyoko-Inn, which is just 2 mins walk away from Otsuka station.We quickly checked-in and left our luggage in our rooms before proceeding to Ueno to start our tidbits shopping.
We made a stop at 神田達磨 first for a たい焼き each as we had enjoyed it previously. The red bean filling was not too sweet and the batter was not too thick. Yummy! :) Only disappointment was that the たい焼き became cold rather quickly due to the weather.
We then proceeded to the tidbits shop 二木の菓子. Although we have been there a few times, we still get lost occasionally as we couldn't really remember which turn to make. Luckily we managed to find our way there this time. We slowly selected the tidbits that we want until the shop announced that it was about to close for the day. We ended up with a few bags of tidbits each :P
There was a stall selling たこ焼き next to the tidbits shop and many people seemed to buy from it so we decided to try it as well. It was piping hot and delicious. Glad that we gave it a try :)
After that, we went back to Ueno station to look for 一蘭拉麵 for dinner. 小花 and I could only remember that it was near the station at 山下 exit so we just headed that direction to try our luck and managed to find it quite easily :) There was no queue so we quickly went in and ordered the ramen. It was delicious and I even finished the whole bowl of soup.
After dinner, we walked around the shops in the station. As it was Ms S's birthday today, we bought some cakes and a can of alcoholic sparkling pear juice before going back to our hotel. The cakes tasted very good. Think we were very satisfied with all of today's food :)
