I really didn&#8217;t venture to new places while I was there, but I definitely ate my way around! I was staying in Shirokane, which is one of the more upscale residential areas in Tokyo. I really enjoyed the neighbourhood and it was also super convenient travelling to other areas as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The night I arrived\u00a0I went to a food stall for the first time! The space was tight and the atmosphere was super\u00a0casual, but the food was really good!\u00a0As we were eating, this guy in a suit approached our table and asked if we were interested in a magic show. I think it took us a few seconds to actually absorb what he was asking us. I don&#8217;t think either of us were expecting a magician to come up to our table!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6902-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Tokyo\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6902-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6902-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6902-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6902.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6903-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6903-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6903-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6903-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6903.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I had really good shabu shabu the following night\u00a0and amazing sushi for the next two nights. The first night of sushi we went to a really cheap restaurant chain called <em>Midori Sushi<\/em> near Yurakucho. We waited almost an hour outside the restaurant after first getting a ticket from the machine. It was definitely worth it cause it cost only 5,000 yen for two people!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I also had a lot of desserts during my time in Tokyo. One of the first places I went to was this dessert chain called <em>Harbs<\/em>. Harbs actually originated in Nagoya and I&#8217;ve walked past the store in Sakae many times without going inside. I finally had a chance to try their famous mille crepe, which was so good that I don&#8217;t have enough words to adequately describe it!<\/p>\n<p>Another place I tried was this traditional dessert place called <em>Ouca<\/em> in Ebisu. I had amazing ice cream with sweet potato!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6921-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2969\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6921-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6921-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6921-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_6921.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7006-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7006-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7006-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7006-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_7006.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really have recollections of things I did\u00a0<em>aside<\/em>\u00a0from eating, so I guess all the touristy stuff I left for the latter part of my trip. =P<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I did a three week trip to Asia last month!
