Hiro arrived at 12pm at Hachiko in Shibuya and we went straight there. It's only a short walk away and not far from Building 109. The whale was a lot cheaper than I expected and surprisingly delicious. We had whale skin with sashimi whale and whale steak with beer and sake. Excellent food and great conversation. The steak was the best steak I'd ever tasted. Seafood flavoured meat. (My review of the whale restaurant) Afterwards I left Hiro at Shibuya station and then met Ayako. We went to a smoke filled cafe bar, drank coffee and talked for a couple of hours about everything. Great fun! The cafe bar was very cosy and I think it was called Primo. There were a number of them around Tokyo. After that I headed back to Iidabashi and checked in. The facilities here are great. Being able to leave my bag for the morning was very useful and, while there is an 11pm curfew, the building contains plenty of places to buy food and is in a central location. I did my washing and bought some million year old egg congee at the downstairs late night eateries. Delicious. Also watched X-men 3 in Japanese for a few minutes. (Every hostel I went to during this trip was playing X-Men 3 in either English or Japanese) Tomorrow, if it isn't raining, I hope to make it to Tokyo Tower. |
