It snowed all night. Too bad that didn’t happen while we were skiing. After breakfast at our hotel, we took a train to Nagano, then to Tokyo for our last night in Japan. I was so excited to continue our journey when we left Tokyo a few days earlier, but it felt really great being back. We stayed at Omo 3, in a completely different area with an amazing view of Senso-ji. We walked to Kappabashi Kitchen Street and picked up some goods. We could have gone crazy, but luckily showed some restraint. I was proud of us. So much good stuff. We quickly walked through the temple area, grabbed some warmer clothes, then headed back out. Dinner was at Gonpachi. It was perfect. Laid back, and little bit of everything - sushi, yakitori, udon. We probably should have enjoyed more of the sushi, but I was trying to be a little careful after our Porto experience the day before traveling. It was really good. My favorite thing ws a tuna hand roll we had. But it was all very good. Before calling it a night, we stopped at Bar Calluna. No menu. You just pick your liquor, and specify sweet, sour or bitter. From the beginning, when the bartender chops away a perfect ice piece from a block, it’s like watching a performance. I’ve never seen a cocktail made so beautifully. They were delicious too.
