My second day on this trip. I had lunch at the Grand Central Oyster Bar in the Atre section of the Shinagawa Train Station in Tokyo. This seafood plate had the fried oysters on the left, scallops in the middle and some grilled fish on the right. I was hungry, but this isn't very much food. The fish portion is barely over an inch wide. I'm not a fan of fried oysters, but the fresh ones were over $5 each, which is too much for me, even if the company is paying for it. The grilled fish was good, but the portion size was ridiculously small. The scallops were rubbery and had no texture of a real scallop. I think they were fake. This plate costs over $15. Did I mention that Tokyo is very expensive?
The food at the 82 Ale House was much better and cheaper! There were 4 shrimp here and it was only 350 or 400 Yen. Which is around $4 or $5 bucks. The beer is the house ale. Not sure if it's brewed independently or if it's just relabeled, but it was good too.Another appetizer from 82 Ale House. This is the duck. It was 350 Yen.
Breakfast buffet at the Top of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel. Keeping it light, and that's not a beer in that glass in the back.
Here's a Japanese breakfast from a buffet. I'm staying at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel and I have breakfasts included every day. I get to choose from any 5 of their restaurants. This wasn't very tasty. Clockwise, from the salmon on the left: 6 type rice mix, miso soup, udon noodles, pickled seaweed?, and I forgot what the white ball, I didn't like it.
Here's a Sashimi plate that I had for lunch in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo. The restaurant's name was Tofu-Ya. It included crab claw, shrimp, maguro (tuna), salmon, salmon eggs, squid, mackeral, white fish, and some pink loose stuff. It also came with a bowl of miso soup with some fish in it. I'm drinking an Asahi draft. Though it didn't quite match the picture, it was pretty good.
