After I unpacked, we decided to head out to dinner before anybody conked out. We went across the street to – you guessed it, Sushi Zanmai. It’s a chain restaurant and open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Hmm…sushi at 3 AM, anyone?
The middle tuna was especially good – melt in your mouth. We should have asked for a separate order of that. The unagi (eel) was very good too. It seemed to be eel season and there was a separate menu of eel specials. We also ordered an eel roll, but it came later and I think we forgot to take a picture.
The tamago (egg) is for DD, that’s the most reliable thing she’ll eat at sushi restaurants. The cucumber hand rolls are for DS, he likes the rolls better but surprisingly they didn’t have them.
We also had some chawan mushi (steamed egg in a cup) and miso soup with clams (DS loves clams). All for 5600 JPY (credit cards accepted). I love that there’s no tipping in Japan! We were given moist towels, but no napkins. The waiter spoke decent English, so we asked for them and were told that they don’t have napkins. This seemed to be pretty common in Japan (not an issue at TDR though). He did bring us an entire tissue box, LOL, must be what the employees use. I learned to just bring my own tissues.
After dinner, DH went back to the hotel with the kids and I went to the small supermarket near door and quickly bought some water, drinks, and yogurt. The supermarket was so convenient and I missed it when we moved on to the other hotels. The kids were conked out by 8 PM.
