Japan Day 12 P4

To cheer Blamer up since we completely missed Mt Fuji, I recommended we head for some "must try" Japanese cakes!

See all cheered up already!

We chose strawberry cream among the many flavours available.

One bite of the cake and we ascended to the heavens. Fresh strawberries aside, the cream wasn't like anything I had tasted before. Light and fluffy with a tiny hint of sweetness, Blamer and I virtually licked the box clean... ... and the plastic wrappings.

On our way back, we passed by the Tokyo Tower. On top of being an observatory, the tower also transmit a total of 24 broadcast waves. Interesting lighting display that shines orange in winter and white in summer. We wanted to dine at a Tofu restaurant located near Tokyo Tower, but by the time we arrived around 8pm, they had already closed for the day.

(Blamer here: Leecher threw tantrum at me cuz he didn't get to eat his tofu meal, idiot!)

Dejected, we tried this instead.

Blamer ordered pork katsu with a raw egg.

While I had the chicken katsu don. I learned from wikipedia that it is now a modern ritual for Japanese students to eat katsudon the night before taking a major test or school entrance exam. This is because "katsu" is a homophone of the verb 勝つ, meaning "to win" or "to be victorious".
