More doing nothing

When I got up I tried to book sushi restaurants with Elbert but for some reason most of them went to answering machines and one said that they only accept bookings for foreigners through a hotel concierge so that they can charge a cancellation fee easily. I looked up non sushi restaurants in Tokyo and they seem to be much more accepting for whatever reason.

After all that I left the house at 1630 to eat.

Mos Burger, Ootsuka: spicy burger with soy patty. The patty was not noticeably good or bad, so I was satisfied.

I took a short break by browsing the local book store, then ate some sushi since the small burger wasn’t anywhere near enough.

Sushi Misakimaru, Ootsuka: tuna plate. Nothing to write home about but I was happy with it.

Home, Ootsuka: my throat had been feeling like it had something stuck in it after eating the burger. When I got home, I coughed out what I assume to be this prawn whisker.

I somehow slept when I got home, then watched the Russian Grand Prix.

I bought this at FamilyMart. Please be good.

Nothing beats the normal milk puddings, but great nonetheless. Ohayo is just really good at puddings I guess.

Then it was time for dinner.

A Chinese restaurant, Ootsuka: pretty average, but I like fried rice. The gyoza was good.

The jellyfish was fishy and there wasn't much of it. Since jellyfish itself doesn't have a lot of taste, the rest of the dish usually has quite a bit of flavour but this didn't have much.

Doing nothing is one of my favourite activities but with so few days left in Japan, I do admit that the day felt a bit wasted too.
