We walked to Tukiji.
Tukiji is the biggest fish market in Tokyo. There are many different kind of shops such as fish ,fruits, knives shops... and of course shops to eat too, sushi, sashimi, ramen-noodle......
The place is so famous that it is always busy. It will close at about 2-3pm.
Then, we had afternoon tea at Ginza Mitsukoshi department store.
The tea room has a French name. It was cute and nice sitting down by the window so we could see the street. We had cafe glace, cake and sorbet. We paid over 5000yen and they left the pips in the raspberry coulis in the cake. wow that's bad...........At that price you don't want to see pips in the cake. Ritz hotel Paris prices, taste, but not quality........Giorgio said.
This department store has a big food shop under ground like Jelmoli and Globus in Switzerland where you can buy any international nicely prepared food.
We also got some food for dinner so, we didn't need to cook that night !!
