                    Nice cheap butcher. Prices are per 100g in JP¥ - works out to like $300 per lb of meat

                    Maybe 200 varieties of tea in one of many tea shops

                    Whoops…

                      Then over to a tea cafe. The stages of macha whisk production

                      Giles' gyokuru with a sweet that was meant to taste like 'the sound of falling rain'

                      My matcha tea with a sweet that was meant to remind me of a firefly

                        Oh shit, there are Nazis in Japan… oh wait.

                        Lunch at a tonkatsu place. I forgot to get a photo of the main event, but once you order you get a bowl of sesame seeds and a pestle and mortar so you can start building your own sauce.

                          Evidently some men round here can get a bit gropey on the rush hour trains…

                          jet lag got me good this morning. Woke up at about 3.30 and couldnt sleep, so I headed down to the gym and then grabbed one of many vending machine coffees.

                            Will come back and caption these later but as you can see from the time stamps, it's taken nearly 30mins to just upload these. Breakfast time…
