Asakusa&Kibidango

Decided to blog in reaction to my guilt+laziness. It's almost nearing a month since my stay in Tokyo and I still have not talked about all the yummy places we went :)

Oh man did we get lost. I made the grave error of getting off at Asakusa bashi! Of course we only had to walk for about 5 minutes before arriving at the tourist spot but it's nerve racking getting lost in a city you barely know. There seems to be some wholesale places around Asakusa. Sometimes it's difficult to navigate. I didn't know how to get to Asakusa line or..the Tsubasa line (I think) from where we were so we took something else and ended up at Asakusa bashi station and not Asakusa.

Mom and Cheirie at Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate)!

This is Kibidango! The very same dango shop Sakura and LilB took us my first trip to Asakusa two summers ago. During the summer they serve Matcha green tea but in the winter, they have warm Amazake! I was so happy :) I wanted to try amazake since Ryuu was craving it during that New Years Eve episode in Kimi Ni Todoke. This amazake was better than my first experience. For me, it had a light sake taste and was slightly sweet :)

The kibidango was 300 yen for 5 skewers of dango.

Oh! This spot has become a "must go to place" when I'm in Tokyo! Oooh, I'm really happy.

I wish I took time to take nicer photos--oh well! :p
