Happy New Year from Tokyo, Japan. I woke up at 4.30 AM and started replying to all the new year wishes until I fell asleep again.
Sushi π£ was our first meal of 2020. We went to Sushizanmai at the Tsukiji Fish Market for lunch as I was curious to check out the restaurant chain that bought one single tuna π for $3m at the New Yearβs auction at Toyosu fish market. The sushi was really good ππ½ and we only paid a few hundred Yen per plate π.
We then walked to Ginza and later took the train to Shinjuku. We stopped at Starbucks for the hot Azuki Beans Latte. I also stopped at Kinokuniya to get some English-translated Japanese literature. We then dropped my last film roll to be developed in BIC Camera and stock up on beauty products at the Japanese drug store.
Our last dinner was Tebasaki chicken. We then went to the Loft at Tokyo Solamachi and went back to the hotel to pack. I had some choya and wrote a gratitude list, which seemed like a good practice for New Year rituals.
