After a few stops from Oji station, I arrived at Akihabara.
At the train station (Akihabara), I chanced upon this Ginza Bairin food stall and even though it was way too early for lunch, I just couldn't resist (since my fav Katsudon in Singapore is the one from the Ginza Bairin outlet at Orchard ION and Jcube).
 |
| Katsudon 680yen |
My verdict, the taste is pretty similar to their outlet at Singapore. :)

 |
| Fancy growing a plant out of your mineral bottle? |
 |
| An extremely long queue...made up of mostly guys...no idea what the queue is for though. |

After leaving Akihabara, I headed for Koishikawa Korakuen.

Next stop, Rikugien. There's a special evening illumination due to Sakura season, so it was pretty crowded there.

| I just happened to look up, and saw this. Nope, it's not photoshopped. It looks like the plane is heading for the moon. |

| Sakura rice cracker. It tasted...erm...pink. |

| Many people were hanging out near this tree while waiting for the evening illumination |
After leaving Rikugien, it's back to where else but my fav King crab dinner. :)
And then watched the new version of Iron Chef in my hotel room.
