A Week of Meals- Day Two

Today is Saturday, which means a brunch adventure. The chosen destination, Caippuccino, a small Italian cafe I'd read about online which features various buckwheat pancakes, including selections with shrimp and avocado, various cheeses and nuts, honey, etc. An example of the Lunch Menu is featured to the left, unfortunately, as is often the case, specials (and usually full menus are in Japanese only)








Set Brunch #1, 24,000 Yen (for two):
Iced coffee (or hot tea)

Buckwheat pancakes + bananas, cream and caramel

And, for me:
Buckwheat pancakes (non-sweet) plus honey (a bit sweet)

Shared: Celery/Cucumber soup

Eyed: "New York Style Cupcakes", price not listed

Dinner: Skipped, due to lingering brunch food baby

Snacks:

Two Coronas sipped in a make-shift outdoor cafe (drinking in public- whether it be while walking down the street, sitting on a curb, riding on the train is legal here), 500 Yen each.


Edamame: Free with the Corona purchase


Guinness & Kilkenny Pints at one of our local Irish Pubs, 800 Yen each (a steal considering all of the other bars found serve half pints for 900 Yen). And, for a late night snack, chips and guacamole (which tasted more like doritos with guacamole- what you get when you not only order chips and guac in Tokyo, but especially when ordering such Mexican fare at an Irish bar in Tokyo), 400 Yen.
