Department Store Eating

Our last meals in Tokyo were at the shopping malls. First I went to a 3rd wave coffee shop called "Be A Good Neighbor" which was in the Tokyo Skytree mall. Quite good and on par with shops like Blue Bottle.


We then hit the food court and had awesome udon. You get a base bowl of noodles and broth which you then can load up with toppings. This particular bowl had a tempura soft boiled egg and chicken karaage on the side. Our other bowl came with an onion and little shrimp tempura basket.


For dinner we had hand made soba at one of the finer malls in Ginza. Was quite a contrast to tenzaru soba in the US. The icing on the cake was a pot of soba water which you poured into your dipping sauce after you're done eating and drink like a savory tea.
