This store wasn’t open yet, but it looked so cute from the outside.  I wish the stores opened earlier here!
It’s near Cocongo in Harajuku, where we ate lunch later.

That tuna turns into this!  At Dai Sushi at the Tsukiji Market.  We waited our turn at 5am, and it was worth it!

We had so many pieces from the chef’s omakase, that I forgot what this fish was called.  But it was in my top 3!

Cocongo Restaurant in Tokyo!

First day in Tokyo and stumbled upon this cute cow who welcomed us into Cocongo, a really cozy restaurant that I mistook for a furniture shop.  The decor is so cool, an eclectic mix of furniture and cool objects, and they served a two kinds of curry lunch – half green curry and half japanese curry with a football shaped mound of rice!
