Tokyo Subway Messages.
Sometimes, translations are not necessary, and simply the facial expressions does it all….
Marble Meat
There is really something quite amazing by what Japanese people call Superior Loin. The quality and the marbling is quite amazing. We keep calling it Kobe Beef in Europe but there are dozens of varieties.
Later that night we had a little taste…

Oishiiiii! (tasty) Yakiniku
Our last diner in Tokyo was a lucky shot. We aimed at a carefully pre-selected Korean BBQ restaurant (Yakiniku) to find a fully booked place. But we were in the bustling Shimbashi Station area and just started to walk and read the menus (of course none of us reads Japanese but almost all Japanese restaurants provide picture rich advertising, often with a plastic version of the popular dishes in front of the entrance). So we stumbled over the enticing advertising of the Shu-en TEN (www.fuerte-j.biz/shu-en) and went up to the 5th floor. We loved it. The waiter spoke a very broken English but – unless like many Japanese – liked to practice his skills with us. No other longnoses around otherwise. We got sake and red wine for free and chose meet of all categories for comparison… what a treat it was…
Dave. Day Three. Hamarikyū Park Tokyo
Here we are chillin’ with Dave at the hamarikyū Park.
Amazing oasis of peace and quite in the middle of the Tokyo business area.
There is a Tea House located in the middle with an zig-zag bridge to reach it.
Here are some further impressions.
