Tokyo trip 2008 - Day 6

It's Christmas and more or less the last full day we had in Tokyo.
It's still a working day for the Japanese, but there were still a lot of people walking around.

We went to Ebisu first to this Aranzi Aronzo memorabilia shop. There were so many cute stuff that I actually spent 5,000 yen there!

We then went on to Ginza. Did some window shopping and finally settled at this dessert place for tea called Ginza Karacu Pâtisserie Cafe. I had a white chocolate mousse with raspberry while V had a coffee swiss roll with red beans. What was interesting was they put a jacket for the teapot when it came to keep the tea warm while I waited for the tea to infuse.

After this, we went back to the hotel to rest a while and put our stuff before setting out for Christmas dinner. We finally settled on 高田屋which was quite near the hotel. I had kitsune soba and we shared some yakitoris and an omelette. And what's Christmas without some cheers! We ordered a glass of umeshu each and toasted to each other. What amused me was that the waiter who served us was multi-tasking. He was the waiter, griller (flipping the grill) at some point, bartender and cashier. The cooking part was taken over later after the cook (who probably came in for his shift) appeared.

After that, we went to the Sky Lounge at our hotel which offered a panoramic view of the city. There was a couple there, so we didn't stay long. Only took some pics (which wasn't very clear) and returned to our room to do some packing.
