Tokyo Day 6: Tsujiki Fish Market, Akihabara, Bye Tokyo

Our last day in Tokyo.
We woke up early and headed to Tsujiki Fish Market
Not so crowded yet.
Plenty of seafood :)
We only look look see see but did not purchase any of these.
We tried this.
And this. Grilled scallop. Yum.
Fruits look nice.
We had this too. Yuzu. Something like lemon + orange.
There was a huge crowd here, so we tried it out.
Fresh tuna roll.
Egg roll. Hrmm.. not nice for us.
We had these :)
Since there is still time before our flight home, we went to Akihabara again!
Saw this Halloween's theme tart at Pablo.
Halloween edition of tarts.
We tried the Mont Blanc. Not bad.
Akihabara - hubby's favorite place :-\
It's time to bid farewell to Tokyo.
6 Days past so fast and this unplanned trip went well :)

Tokyo Day 5: Omotesando, Takeshita Street, Harajuku, Meiji Shrine, Shibuya, Ginza

Good morning Tokyo~ 
It's been more than a year since this trip XD
Miss it a lot and wish to be back someday.
We started our day with coffee from Blue Bottle Coffee.
Sorry to say that it's not my type of coffee though.
We then headed to Omotesando for Dominique Ansel Bakery.
Cute cakes and pastries!
With expensive prices too.
We order the famous frozen s'more :)
A Tahitian vanilla ice cream covered with chocolate feuilletine flakes and then enrobed in a 100% honey marshmallow. The whole thing is then put on a smoked wooden branch and torched to order.
This is really good <3 p="">
Not as sweet as I'd expected. Crunchy marshmallow with ice cream.
We then headed to Takeshita Street.
We saw long queue. So we joined in the crowd.
Varieties of sauces but too bad we don't know what were they. Lol.
This fried chicken is good 
Crowded!
We then went to hunt for Harajuku-Gyozarou. Long queue even though it was still early.
The interior.
Steam Gyoza. Hrmm.. ok only lar..
I like the fried gyoza.
After gyoza, we went to Meiji Shrine.
Meiji Shrine
And then to Shibuya Cross Street.
And have an evening stroll in Ginza.
As usual, hubby would want to hunt for technologies. And here we are at Nissan Crossing Gallery.
Impressive.
For dinner, we went for another Michelin awarded restaurant - Ginza Kagari.
The queue was so long that it took us more than 90 minutes :(
That night was so cold.
Interior is so small that it only can fit 8 person at one time.
We both had Tori Paitan Soba.
Chicken soup soba. Hubby liked it so much and say it was sooo gooooddd.
For me, I felt that the chicken taste was too strong.
We end our day 5 with supper packed from Foodshow Shibuya.
The foods was disappointing though.

Tokyo Day 4: Ueno

From Asakusa, we then proceed to Ueno.
We hunt for the recommended Michelin Guide restaurant, Gensenyoushoku Sakurai which is on the 7th floor a building near JR Okachimachi Station. We tried their half portion omurice which cost less than 500 yen each.
We tried both classic and gratin omurice.
It's good :)
The interior of the restaurant.
After lunch, we went for a walk at Ameyayokocho. Too bad it was raining.
Tried the famous takoyaki. Yums~
We went to Niki no Kashi for cheap local snacks and candies :)
Still raining.
And so we end our walk and go to our next stop.
