The quest for banana milku!

During our last trip to Japan, I consumed a good amount of Japanese banana milk.  I love this stuff and it's pretty much impossible to find outside of Japan.  Unfortunately, I had a mildly difficult time finding it again in Tokyo.  This one seemed to be the most common type found in just about every other conbini.
This one is decent, but I remember one I drank in 2012 that came in a larger carton that was really, really good.  I failed to find it on this trip. :(  I'm thinking maybe I was finding it in Osaka.

You know you aren't in the USA anymore when...
Look at all those Moomins!
Ohhhhh kaaay...
Lunch in Otaku heaven!
Chicken karaage, good stuff.
Funny game we walked by that puts you on the screen.
I wish i could grow hair like that.
I really wanted to buy this costume and bring it home. In hindsight, I have no idea why I didn't. :/
Ahhh, Japanese beer!  Can't get enough of new beers to try!
Some crap I bought. Both Linda and I didn't go quite as hog wiled with spending money on this trip, for whatever reason, but I couldn't pass up these awesome Parasyte: The Maxim items, the Mogu-Mogu pencil case, and a few other must haves.  The Tohato crackers were awesome.  I love the labels.
Hotel Sunroute Shinjuku Plaza, our home away from home.
For dinner we went up to one of the many insanely awesome restaurants on the upper floors of the shopping buildings.  Japan does food right.
We settled on this "American" food place specializing in "Hamburgs".  The Japanese take on American cuisine is always awesome.

Yup, we are eating here!
Shane's Burg, it was like a Wild West place named after the famous cowboy movie, Shane.
Honey Mustard soaked Hamburg steak.
Linda's fried hamburg steak and prawns.
This spot in Shinjuku is just...
One of my favorite buildings in Tokyo.
