Street vendors

We took the Subway to Shibuya station last night where they have the statue of Hachiko, the dog who met his owner every evening as he got off the train and continued for seven years after his owner died.

There were many things we did but I want to show you the street vendors we discovered on our walk. There was a big boxing match and so there were food vendors outside the stadium, much like you'd see in the U.S. but the food was a little different. What would you choose to eat?













I had the Okonomiyaki, also referred to as Japanese pizza. It's in the last two videos. It was tasty, though the white sauce they put on it was mayonnaise. They put that on a lot of different things here.

I ended the evening with a trip to the 100 yen store, or the Japanese dollar store. THAT was fun! You'll have to go to the see the photos for that.

We have made okonomiyaki here when Ai visits. It roughly translates to "as you like it", since you can put whatever ingredients you want in it. It's like a savory pancake, and there is even a special okonomiyaki sauce that is called 'sauce.' It tastes like mayonnaise and soy sauce mixed together, but it's tasty. I bet you can buy it at a Japanese market at home.
