Day 7 - Shimokitazawa & Kichijoji

On Sunday the four of us split the day between Shimokitazawa and Kichijoji. For lunch, we ate at a really awesome, apparently famous, okonomiyaki joint.  Needless to say, I was very happy to indulge in yet another meal of one of my favorite Japanese dishes.

Fried chicken knuckles that Tom ordered. I ate one and that was enough for me. The affinity for cartilage that the Asians have is one of those things I cannot get used to. I can handle fishy stuff, raw stuff, weird stuff, but cartilage gets a big, "no thanks" from me.

These little guys were interesting. Basically, I think they were like grizzle wrapped bacon things that were pan fried. It sounds gross, but these were pretty good with the spicy sauce they came with.
This was like a salad of grilled octopus parts, exactly the kind of Japanese food I love. Very tasty.
Pizza thing, also good.
What's left of one very tasty okonomiyaki with noodles and another special okonomiyaki with different ingredients waiting to be devoured.
Then it was time to stroll.
Cool entryway.
We stopped and got crepes while it was raining in Kichijoji.
There was a notebook for people to sign on the table, and it had some funny drawings in it.
LOLS.
So what is with the "hammer heads"?  We draw quick cartoony weiners differently here I guess.
