5 hrs of sleep. Then 2Β½ hrs of work catch up (still Friday in the US) - so I can have the weekend at least a bit in Japan. Now off to coffee and maybe light breakfast

Wandering in Meguro, just outside of Tokyo now.
There's some temple fair also besides the morning prayer and chants.

Once again #Grateful to weather gods for incredible/best weather! (Forecast I saw 2 days ago was drizzle/overcast)

Having just the finest relaxing Saturday morning at the park in the temple with the fair smells and sights and sampling a bit of the eats.
Curry and weiner/sausage taiyaki and imagawa yaki (called differently in other parts) with regular bean paste (anko) inside and also the cheese kind.
Ryusenji - Meguro Fudoson

Picking up some fresh blended hot 10 juumi (not shichi7 mi ) togarashi - and lovely hot one, after a taste too.

And there was this ungagi kabayaki place we passed on the way to the temple, so decided to try w bit. Took it back to the temple park.
Ah, sitting on the park rocks, eating unagi. What a blissful morning

Lunch (ramen) deserves its own thread. First time I reserved a spot for ramen (a week in advance when the reservations open) - so that'll be later. First to while a bit of time and work up an appetite we stopped here...

@SRDas Lucky, lucky fellow!

@SRDas Taiyaki are awesome! It seems like every culture has its version of "tasty thing encased in bread" (e.g. meat pies, samosas, burritos, dumplings, pierogi), but perhaps unsurprisingly the Japanese version is the most elaborate I've seen.

@SRDas

Try the ベビーカステラ (made with fresh babies)

@FlockOfCats πŸ˜… tried a banana (just half). I've had castella with relatively fresh babies at a new years fair in Kobe. Lots to try here. I'll try to not fill up before lunch (reservation!)
