Japan: Icho Namiki Ginkgo Avenue 2012-11-24


The Japanese have a profound appreciation for all things seasonal, including the changing of the leaves as summer slides into the chilly grip of winter. To celebrate, Yuka & A-chan and I went to Icho Namiki, a street lined with resplendent ginkgo trees who's leaves turn a stunning shade of yellow.


Braving the sleepy crowds, we met up and began our adventure!















At the end of the street was a festival!


So many tasty looking options~ Green curry, sausages, chili cheese curry fries…oh my!




These kids were too cute!



Mm, look at those big ol' crab legs!





Adorable candies, naturally. ^_^


Beer selection! It's not all Asahi, guys. ;)
There's actually a pretty robust craft beer scene in Japan, which is encouraging.



Lunch~ hot beef udon noodle soup with veggies. 





Once we wrapped up here, we headed over to Ebisco in Shinjuku. 
Ebisco is a restaurant that I've visited before with Yuka, staffed by professional wrestlers! Not only is the food delicious but the photo ops are unbeatable!
Check back tomorrow for that post! 
^_^
Hope you enjoyed this glimpse into my adventures.
