On the eighth day of my Japan trip, I went to Kawagoe city in Saitama where is famous for the Edo era buildings so it got the nickname “Little Edo”.
Since an army marches on its stomach. I went to find something to eat before walking around.
In my Japan trip post last time. I mentioned I visit Ippodo store for buying the items for my family. It is Hajime-no-Ippodo which is the starter kit for making matcha tea. Now it’s time to open it.
Speaking of famous green tea producers in Japan. One of them must be Ippodo. The over 300 years Kyoto tea producer that has its branch in New York. After I left NHK Studio Park, I had a chance to visit its branch in Marunouchi, Tokyo.
If you are asking about the famous sushi restaurant in Tokyo, one of them must be Sushi Midori or Umegaoka Sushi no Midori which is famous for fresh ingredients and good value.
After I returned to Aomori Station from Hirosaki. I still had a time before taking my reserved train to Tokyo. So I took this chance to look around attractions near the station.
