After a few hectic days of sight-seeing, nosotros started Sat off slowly, mooching or then the household as well as considering our options for the afternoon. This gave us fourth dimension to endeavor out a risky breakfast: natto! Natto is a weird fermented soy edible bean dish, that's commonly eaten amongst rice equally a breakfast nutrient inwards Japan.
It smells equally bad equally it looks. It doesn't gustation quite equally bad equally you'd expression - it's strongly flavoured but pretty agreeable, it's only texturally as well as olofactorally disturbing.
With natto nether our belts, Cindy as well as I were laid upward to human face upward the day. The Sun was peeking out again, then nosotros focussed on outdoor activities, starting off amongst a wander through the Imperial Palace East Garden.
The moat provided me amongst my starting fourth dimension identifiable novel plane for the trip: the northern shoveller.
The cherry blossoms hadn't quite reached amount bloom yet, but they were all the same pretty stunning.
The side past times side halt was Ginza, for a quick stroll through Tokyo's poshest neighbourhood to dejeuner at Nataraj vegetarian Indian restaurant.
Being Ginza, things weren't cheap, but at that topographic point were a make of veg-tastic thalis to select from as well as equally neither of us had eaten since the natto, nosotros were both laid upward to hoe into them. I ordered the Maharani Thali (3500 Yen, $40), which was made upward of 3 curries (palak paneer, navratan korma as well as the mysterious 'nataraj curry'), a garlic naan, a duo of tandoori gluten nuggets, a mayonnaisey salad, some pickles as well as some rice addition a mango shrikhand for dessert.
Aside from the salad, this was all pretty slap-up - peculiarly because I was starving as well as at that topographic point was heaps of it. The curries lacked a flake of spice, but were rich as well as full-flavoured as well as there's null amend than a fresh naan bread. Cindy went for a slightly smaller option, the Padma thali (2500 Yen, $29), which came amongst only ii curries (chana curry as well as vegetable curry) as well as was lacking the dessert.
She peculiarly raved most the tomato-based vegie curry, which was creamy as well as delicious. All inwards all this was a rattling satisfying lunch: the nutrient was tasty as well as plentiful, the staff were extremely friendly as well as quite excited that nosotros were both vegetarian as well as the setting was placidity as well as peaceful. The prices are only a flake also steep to actually recommend a catch - perhaps 1 of their non-Ginza branches would endure a cheaper option.
By the fourth dimension nosotros finished 'lunch' it was getting on to 4:30, which meant I had to scurry off to run into Matt inwards Koenji for a gig. The slap-up affair most alive music inwards Tokyo is that it's designed for lazy onetime people similar me - the shows start at seven as well as the in conclusion band is normally done past times 10:30. Brilliant. The venue for the black was The Penguin House, a tiny room amongst no existent phase that would check maybe forty people inside.
The starting fourth dimension band of the black were the insane PukaPuka, starring a guy whose alone labor is to trip the lite fantastic or then madly, yell out random things as well as impersonate a motor bike. By the terminate of the exhibit the vocalist was riding him similar a horse. It was all rattling weird. Weird but compelling. Especially their ramshackle comprehend of ACDC's 'Thunderstruck'.
Next upward were My Pal Foot Foot who, despite the strange name, are a much to a greater extent than conventional band. They were slap-up - especially 1 time Julian from Kes Band had joined them on the drums.
The exhibit was basically a launch for a separate album that My Pal Foot Foot as well as Melbourne's Kes Band bring only released, then KES were the in conclusion act, amongst members of Foot Foot joining them at diverse points inwards the set.
It was a slap-up black - 3 first-class bands, a tiny intimate venue as well as a crowd that was at that topographic point to psyche as well as dance, non chat their agency through the music. Despite the crowd forcing Kes Band into ii encores, nosotros were all the same out of at that topographic point past times 10:30 as well as dwelling household earlier midnight. That's the agency stone as well as scroll should work.
