Some more partying in Tokyo, izakaya style

Thursday 2/4 –  Friday 3/4:

Wrapping up the rest of the week with the Norwegians I went on Korean barbeque with them Thursday. We were supposed to go to an Ninja restaurant, but since it was a Ninja restaurant it was a hidden restaurant and.. yeah we didn’t find it.

After that I managed to find a izakaya for us to go to, and we had a great night. It was their first izakaya experience, and I think they liked it for we went again the next day, instead of going out to clubs like planed ^^

That is, after and finishing meal with the whole class, that I also joined. It was at a pretty crazy looking western themed place in a cave. Then afterwards, the whole class wanted to joint us for izakaya! I got kind of freaked out, since I hade no idea where to find an izakaya. We usually go izakaya much closer to our dorm, so I didnt know any izakayas in Tokyo centrum. It would have been ok to use some time to look around with only a few friends, but around 30 people dangling behind was no fun!

I had some idea where to look, and had heard that Ebisu was a good place for drinking. So to Ebisu we went, and after over an hour searching and a lot less people dangling behind I finally found a cozy little izakaya for us. Again it was a great night. The day after Mia and about half of the class left for Norway, and that was that. Hopefully Mia will return to Japan, since she is planning to join the same program as me. Something I am recommending for everyone out there interested in Japan ^^

And here are some izakaya pictures.

Korean barbeque (not really izakaya)

Everyone was fascinated by edamame, a classic izakaya dish that I love. It is baby soybeans, boiled and served with salt. And they are quite fun to eat.

Here is edamame omiyage, super kawaii.

Nabe!
