This day was awesome because I had a party with my friends whom I haven’t seen for a while and also I visited the mall of Sky Tree Solamachi with my girl.
Since my girl wasn’t in Tokyo for the grand opening of the sky Tree she wanted to visit there before we left to Aomori and after 40 minutes walking around the shops there I had to take her to get that smoothie/shake shop I found on my last visit there.
I had my favorite which of course is Strawberry shake
and she had the pineapple one.
I preferred mine tho since mine was more sweeter 😛
Later that day we went to omote sando to shop some clothes and after that we went to Shakeys pizzeria. (you know I love that place)(we don’t care about the pizza that much but the onion rings are the best)
In the evening we had our party at a Izakaya called Wara Wara in Shinjuku.
Always happy to see friends and make new ones at these parties !
This is actually kinda funny, I normally love wasabi but this evening my throat was hurting so eating it was a little bit more difficult than I thought.
1st. This is me with the Wasabi before I ate it. ( you can see there is quite a lot of it)
2nd.Ok so now it’s in my mouth, all good so far..
3rd. Here it got me since I could not swallow it and the hotness was getting higher and higher. Luckily I had a nice cold beer in my hand to help.
Normally, like now I could eat that piece of wasabi and not blink an eye.. just saying 😀
Here are some food photos of what we were eating.
Don’t you just love these things at the izakayas? 10 minutes after the tray arrives to the table, it’s empty.
If any of you are ever in Tokyo while I’m there and not busy, send me a message and you might get invited to one of my great parties 😀
for the last note, have you noticed that in Japan they have changed the sprite can for “older” looking design. I normally don’t drink sprite but the cool looking can made me get one.
