Prior to the hot spring we had soba (buckweat noodles). They were really good.
I pulled some pictures off the website:
After the hot spring we took the train to Shinjuku. Part of Lost in Translation was filmed there. It's pretty crazy- lots of bright lights, noise and stimulation. There are video game places, gambling places and lots of entertainment places. This is also the home of lots of host clubs- basically women or men pay a lot of money to hang out with good looking members of the opposite sex and buy expensive drinks- its a very strange concept to me but whatever floats your boat.From Shinjuki we headed to Kuniko's Aunt and Uncle's house in Fukagawa for Sukiyaki. This is definitely one of my favorites. It is composed of beef (in this case the beer fed/massaged fatty beef that is freaking amazing) cooked on the table in a broth along with tofu, shitake mushrooms, green onions, and a shirataki noodles which are made of Konnyaku starch (high fiber starch from a root). This dish is so good. We stayed at their house because they live close to the Tsukuj fish market.
