So turns out we are paying top dollar for our teensy room is because the blossom festival is on! randomly excellent and worth the extra millions of pennies cos its a REAL big deal here...den caught the “blossom report” on the news last night...looks liike they're all gonna be out in full on thursday. Everything is pink and floral and a real celebration of spring is happening.
So after our mecca of shopping and disoreintation yesterday we decided to have some CULTURE. Headed to our local shinto shrine in asukusa. den brought a fortune which was almost the worst one...small fortune! figured i could beat that, i got my own (you randomly pick bits of paper with them on it) and got the worse one! bugger. had to tie my up on a clothesline type thing to “allow the wind to take the bad luck”. heres hoping it worked..ended up at a sushi place in roppongi for dinner, eveyone yells and greats you when you walk in, its pretty cool. we had no idea what to get and wanted to have an “experience” so ordered an array of sushi. The tuna and salmon were good, the eel was ok but highlight of the night was when den (on a dare) ate the entire salmon roe sushi..thats salmon eggs. google a picture of them, they;'re big and orange! den has advise apparently they explode in you mouth...nice. anyways he couldn't finish it and i was crying with laughter. so never again. you'll be impressed to know he DID complete the herring roe one but wouldn;t recommend it
