Lunch At Satou And Kichijouji Shopping (2007-12-22)
KL was able to spend an entire day with us during Peter's stay. We took them to Kichijouji to do some shopping and to have lunch at the famous Satou.
Satou's take-away croquette balls are not to die for, but the steak
in their upstairs restaurant could be. All the beef served comes
from Matsuzaka cow which is as sought after as Kobe beef in
Japan.
There are different sets to choose from the small menu and I got
Matsu Set which comes with a 180gm steak already cubed after it's
lightly cooked on a teppen. Man, the beef was as soft as butter
and just melted in my mouth! The set's a bit pricey but so very
worth it. You've got to eat it at least once in your life I
reckon!
After lunch, Peter and Rachel did their usual thing which is to
boost Japan economy by dropping money here and there including Burberry
and Yodobashi, a large electronic store. Being a huge fan of
Gundam, Peter was like a kid in a candy store when he saw the large
stock of Gundam models and stuff in the toy section. The kids
also had a ball picking out their own toys. KL and I --the
non-shopping type tourists-- just watched
in amusement as their shopping bags got bigger and bigger by the hour.
