Jean-Paul Hevin store at Omotesando Hills! Perfect looking macarons..pretty!
Deliciously fresh sushi from Sushi Zenmai in Tsukiji Market
Cherries!! They're sooo sweet! The people who stack these cherries must be so patient.
This is the best of the 3 - because it's peach season in Japan at the moment.
Sea urchin (unni) still in shell from a sushi train place at Meguro
We went to this well known handmade udon chain called Sangokuichi - the chewy texture of the udon is so different to the ones I've had before. They are also famous for their cold udon salad!
We had 2 lunches in Tsukiji on the same day :P This is my bowl of mixed seafood over rice!
Fig dessert
We aso ordered this toro sashimi on rice! So fatty and they melt in your mouth...hmmm
Cool ice sculpture from Takashimaya department store...people kept touching it to see if its real ice.
Afternoon tea at Takano (fruit parlour).
They sell a whole lot of other things in Tsukiji market, not just seafood. I didn't know edamame beans grow like this.
Japanese kumeras are sooo sweett!
We bought crab meat from the supermarket and made our own salad at home :)
Trying different mentos flavours! The cola one is not as good.
Japanese sweets (red bean, black sesame, and soy bean powder wrapping sweet sticky rice)
Sea-salt pack where you grate your own salt! I bought some already grounded.
We bought a few things from Pierre Herme! I don't know what this is called but I'd say it tastes like orange cheesecake :P
Hmmm PH's signature Ispahan! Unfortunately, this is not as good as the one I had in Paris...
More soba + tempura
Another one of PH's delicious creation that I got to try
Dinner at a random noodle shop in Shinjuku - cold soba with vegetables
Sadaharu Aoki's dessert display at Isetan...the green tea eclair is so good!
White peach jelly!
Hmmmmmm salmon roe!
I got this from the supermarket...apparently it's a mixture of wagyu beef + kurobuta pork! Yummmm...
Unagi (eel)!
Hmmmmmmm donuts!
The green-tea flavour is SO good.
