Who is the Green tea monster?  He is hard core green tea and likes strong green tea flavor. It has to come in a waffle cone not a cup.

He discovered the best one for him at the basement food hall at @ginzasix Japanese Tea Tsujiri from Kyoto. 
 Make sure you get the extra rich if you want it strong #ginzasix#h2htokyo#h2hicecream  They didn’t have stock of the extra rich so I just got the regular and it was still good – I don’t like it too strong anyway  Mom had this one and she told me she really only wants the mochi balls haha!! So I ate her green tea soft serve 

 I have been hearing about this restaurant from many people so I was happy to finally try it. At the Barney’s Building  The 4th and 5th floor of the Barney’s Building is all restaurants This is the menu of Imahan but for lunch they have set courses which are more reasonable – In Japan their set lunches or lunch courses are really more reasonable than their dinner menus so I highly recommend you go for lunch especially in the fine dining restaurants 🙂  We had Sukiyaki 🙂   We tried the Assorted Sirloin and the high quality – and yes the high quality was of course much better though the sirloin was not bad as well 🙂   After the beef, they have egg rice 🙂  which we all liked 🙂   My brother ordered the steak and it was also very good Lunch set includes dessert  Amenities in the bathroom 🙂 

Around 35 years ago when we would go to Tokyo, our home was @imperialhotel_jp_official We haven’t stayed here in a long time but glad to be back.

Love the fresh roses in the lobby 
and love the spaghetti Japanese style in the coffee shop.  Mom, my sister and I love this spaghetti and we always have it when we are staying in the hotel #h2htokyo#h2hflowers#h2hpasta
Other food we had 

 Dad likes his Japanese curryI ordered the Club sandwich and it was so good!
 Escargot This hotel was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright – It’s almost 100 years old  The lobby is still the same – they have never changed it since the last time we were here 35 years ago 🙂  But it still has that same elegance and stature that it has always hadWhat a beautiful wall 🙂  I was hoping to go near it and check it out but did not have time so I just zoomed in on it Wow! A few days later, From the roses to a Japanese garden at the lobby of the Imperial Hotel @imperialhotel_jp_official by @hibiyakadan_style #hibiyakadan#h2hflowers #h2htokyo Everyone takes photos by the garden even Minnie Mouse 🙂

The hotel was so full – we could not get the room we wanted with a  king bed haha!!!  Rooms are still the same from long ago but slightly refurbished with service that is five star so we can’t complain.  Location is perfect because it is in the middle of Ginza – just walk a few blocks and you are in Ginza.  It is also in the middle of Das Ichi Hotel our other home in Tokyo and The Peninsula Hotel which is our sometimes home in Tokyo haha 🙂  

 We had Tonkatsu at Haneda airport as recommended by Yoyet.  It was good because we were not able to have tonkatsu in the city  And of course green tea softserve!!  They also have Cremia 🙂

 We had a nice Yakiniku dinner at Japanese style Yakiniku Ginza ( Hasegawa) #dejesusintokyo #h2htokyo#h2hsteaks
