Lunch on Shinkasen to Kyoto
Bento bought from Kinokuniya @ Tokyo Station!
2014 – Japan
Bye Tokyo… See you next week
Those few days flew. But boy it was fun. But luckily for us we will be here again next weekend.
Vending machines
So much choice!
There are also healthy options in vending machines. But thee seem to be rare. We did try one… The response time for the item to come out is a little slow compared to other machines
Journey to Japan
Due to an older plane being used, the seat configuration meant as premium economy we had business class seats. I actually slept on the plane… Still didn’t improve the turbulence!
Our flight was the first one to land in Tokyo due to airport restrictions, planes are unable to land until 6am! This house was protesting the existence of the airport…. I think they are a little late.
Ah… Finally off the plane.
Qantas snack food
Emu bottom…. Despite the name it tasted okay.
Waiting… In the middle if Chuo Dori, Ginza.
There are 12 Floors of goodies here!
If that’s your petite fours selection, then I am moving to Japan.
We visited Les Creations de Narisawa last night for dinner.
There weren’t too many decisions to be had, other than whether or not to go for the wine pairing. I am not sure that was really a hard decision! The wine pairing involved an exploration of Japanese, French and German wines over a 35 year period! Wow!
In any case, all this simplicity and lack of decision making was blow away at the end when the petite four trolley was brought over for us to choose some.
The tiny tasting light of macarons? The Apricot jelly? Green tea mochi? Seasonal macarons. Cigar biscuits, oh oh oh so many I can’t even remember them all. This must be part of the selection criteria for the waiters.
Have a look for yourself – it was so big we couldn’t fit it into a single photo. It was taken with out Lytro – so you can refocus it by pointing to the part you want to focus on.

Under an hour train ride means using wifi on board train.

Ah…. on board train to Tokyo from Narita airport. It’s currently raining, but it won’t dampen our spirits!
