My daughter and I both like ramen and we wanted to try a few Michelin rated ramen places in Tokyo. Nakiryu is one of those we wanted to try. Getting to this place during the night requires navigating some dimly lit alleys and streets so it will be better if you’re with a companion or…

October 2018 Tokyo Day 3 – Nakaya at Tsukiji
Knowing that Tsukiji market was closing very soon, we wanted to make sure we will be able to eat in one of the food places there before the market is closed for good. (It actually closed the day after we ate I think, but it was during our Tokyo Trip. We even saw a protest…
October 2018 Tokyo Day #2 – DisneySea
Tokyo Day 2 DisneySea While planning this Tokyo trip, my daughter was originally thinking of 2 days for Disney, 1 day for DisneySea and 1 day for DisneyLand. She eventually decided to just limit it to one day and between DisneySea & DisneyLand, DisneySea is the obvious choice since it is the only one in…
October 2018 Tokyo Day 2 – Bayside Takeout
Our third food stop is at the Bayside Takeout. I would have ordered a beer but decided not to since I wouldn’t like to miss experiencing some attractions just because I may throw up what I ate/drank, haha. I noticed the birds here are used to people. The sushi roll was good and quite filling….
October 2018 Tokyo Day 2 – Sultan’s Oasis
Our second stop for food was Sultan’s Oasis that sells chicken curry bun. Though there was a queue, it was moving fast and it was not too long… You just have to admire(?) those that came up with this, haha It was ok enough, you can really taste the curry flavor, but a bit puny….
October 2018 Tokyo Day 2 – Nautillus Galley
It is about 9am, I was not yet hungry but my daughter wanted to try this red and black ‘thing’ so we went in to try. There were not much people lining up so that sealed the deal. The bun is basically an elongated ‘bolabola siopao’. Not bad but not noteworthy either. While eating, I…
October 2018 Tokyo Day 2 – Restaurant Sakura
While exploring, we noticed this restaurant and decided to eat here. Forgot again to take photo of the facade. I prefer noodles over rice so I had the seasonal udon set. I also am always on the lookout for a good clam chowder so we also ordered miso clam chowder. My daughter prefers rice so…
October 2018 Tokyo Day #1
I am not really into travel much, so on this 5 days 4 nights trip I am just ‘the companion’. My daughter planned and made the itinerary and I just handled the financial side like making sure we have enough Yen & my credit/debit cards will be accepted when I use them in Tokyo. And…
October 2018 Tokyo Day 1 – VenusFort
After the big disappointment of not being able to ride the big ferriswheel, we decided to explore the area specifically VenusFort. VenusFort has a ‘fake sky’. In the following photos, it is blue skies. We chanced upon a Starbucks and tried a seasonal drink. Click here for details on the Starbucks VenusFort experience After Starbucks,…
October 2018 Tokyo Day 1 – Toyota City
During the making of the itinerary, my daughter and I barely took notice of Toyota City. There was a time that I used to tinker with the engine of my car. Take out, disassemble and clean the carburator. Replace the carbon leads of the alternator and other similar small stuff, but I was never a…
