Dinner tonight at Shinokubo (the Korean town of Tokyo), with Chijimi and yummy Hottoku! Korean food is so SO delicious!!! Especially Hottoku, Chijimi, Toppoki and Kimuchi.
I think I'll eat there every second day and swim back to Sweden to burn it off..
Also, found a store with cheap korean cosmetics. Snake eye serum, collagen masks etc. BB creams always make nice and useful gifts to girlfriends :)
The grand finale was the "Gangnam style" plastic bag! Its a keeper, for future memories of Asia :)
Visited Tram bar in Ebisu today. Tram bar is an Absinthe specialty bar with a big variety of absinthe and also lots of cocktails (and non- absinthe too). It's a wonderful retro French styled bar with leather couches, stylish waiters and good music. I really recommend it, maybe not so much for an evening with friends, as for a romantic date or a heart to heart discussion and catching up with a best friend.
Its address is Ebisu Nishi1-7-13 2F
And, I LOVE ABSINTHE :)
Also, even if you don't like his music, you really have to taste Marilyn Manson's
absinthe brand "Mansinthe" with 66.6 % alcohol and wormwood (5 stars for the name and percentage haha). It was the barman's recommendation, as I didn't know which one to try. I had never tried absinthe before, but I will prefer it from now on. It's difficult to describe it, but was a really refined and herbal/woody (?) taste.
Apart from that, I really don't understand what all the fuss with the effects of absinthe is. It is a really refined and better tasting herbal liquer, better than Raki, Tsipouro, Pastis or Grappa mixed with water. Not that I drank enough to be drunk though.
My friend who got an absinthe cocktail, said it made her a little dizzy. I drank it pure with water but didn't feel any effect at all. Maybe just a little bit, but less than from other spirits.
And extra points for this in the WC :)
