Tokyo – Day 8

up-garage
We’ve been doing SO much that Tokyo took a toll on us again today, and we slept in until lunch time, but we all managed to get out of bed and catch a train out to Kumagaya to check out the closest Up Garage (since they were shut yesterday).

seats
We got there without issues thanks to Alexi’s directions. A sleepy little suburb with a relaxed vibe. The shop instantly blew us all away. 80% second hand goods and some new stuff too. The seats were really well priced and had us all wishing we had something like this back home.

wheels-up-garage
So many awesome wheels. All reasonably priced too!

stretched
Spotted this guy leaving, what a stretch!!!

fishingtime
We got back in time for an epic dinner at Zauo in Shinjuku, a restaurant where you catch your own fish!!! We had a private booth, they serve a set menu (and the freshest most dark red tuna I’ve ever had), unlimited beer, sake and plum wine and when you’re tanked, you can go fishing!

mimi_me_cray
Mimi and I both caught crayfish!

snapper
The boys did well with a couple of snapper and a flounder too!

fishing-boat
I’m on a boat. Such a mad concept, everyone in there was having a blast!

salt-fish
This snapper came out in a casing of hard salt, which you lit, then broke with a hammer to eat the fish inside. Absolutely delish!

sake-shots
Sake shots for the 2 guys who failed to catch anything, haha!

angelo-fish-eye
I told Angelo the eye was the best bit (I lied), so he ate it. I rewarded him with letting him eat the cheek though, which is the best bit!

p-ride
Matty’s “Aussie Pride” tattoo has bad letter spacing. To me it reads: “P ride”.

fixing
I thought I’d fix it.

aussie_pride_fixed
MUCH BETTER!!!

crayfish
Crayfish was unreal! Such a mad night, what a great concept, and such great company! A trip to the Golden Gai (again) will see us in bad shape tomorrow morning, but hey! YOLO!!!
