Tokyo Trip: Tsukiji Market and Ginza

We went to Tsukiji Market this morning. It was quite crowded, probably as it was a weekend. We walked around and ate some fresh oysters, tamago roll and grilled squid. Tulip and Ms S even bought vacuum-packed fish as it was very cheap as compared to that in Singapore.We also had our lunch of sashimi rice bowl before we left.

After that, we proceeded to Ginza. We spent some time at a rather large Sanrio store as there were many cute stuff on display, trying to lure us to purchase them. We then shopped around at the nearby Mitsukoshi department store before trying to look for the Almond Cafe that 小花 highly recommended. We walked towards the wrong direction at first but in the end still managed to locate the cafe.

We had actually only wanted to order cakes to share but we had to order drinks too as they come as a set. The cakes were very soft and nice and we chatted and relaxed while eating.

We then went back to Mitsukoshi to shop around its basement level. We ate a fresh scallop each (with the exception of Tulip who doesn't like raw food) and it was very sweet and nice. We also bought a cake roll to share after our dinner.

We decided to have dinner at Ootoya, which is near our hotel. The food was cheap and good and we were very satisfied with the meal.
