5 hrs of sleep. Then 2½ 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.

@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.
