Tokyo outskirts trip ~ Ox tongue curry, seaside

#Ogikubo
#EuropeanStyleCurrySpecialtyTomato #OxTongueCurry

This place is famous for its ox tongue curry ~
It just popped up on Instagram,
and it became popular with foreigners even before Koreans.
I have a feeling more Koreans will come soon, haha.

I was so tired the day before that I overslept;;; the line was insanely long.
So I got cut off and came back the next day lolololol.

Everyone coming out after eating was Japanese + foreigners,
and they were raving about how amazing it was in English ; lots of praise haha.

I finally got to eat it on the last day, whew~~

It’s super thick and feels like a whole ox tongue is in the curry.
So the price is a bit on the higher side.

The moment I sliced it and ate it, it melted in my mouth! I ate it with admiration.
Since the curry contains 36 kinds of spices and herbs,
the curry aroma was a bit lighter? and the ingredient scents were stronger.

For those sensitive to spices, I’d recommend the veal cream curry.

The veal cream curry is also a popular dish, haha.
I wanted to try it, but I was alone and it was too filling to eat it all~

If I go to Tokyo again, I plan to try the veal cream curry.

It’s a quiet neighborhood with not much to see,
but it was nice and peaceful to walk around! Truly the authentic Japanese vibe~

There’s a sea close to Tokyo!
From Ogikubo Station, I headed to #.

A cute little train with glass windows where you can see the sea view?

Before going to the beach, I stopped at a convenience store I saw,
and since I’m on my daily pudding habit, I bought pudding and a can of beer,
then went to see the sea, haha.

I sat by the seaside for about 20 minutes, eating while watching the sea and people,
organizing my thoughts and thinking about what to do next.
I came to Tokyo without a set itinerary, haha.

But I didn’t want to rush to Shibuya just to buy a birthday gift.
(This Tokyo trip was for my birthday on 2024.12.9) 😆

I searched on Google and found a huge Gundam nearby, haha.
I walked to #DiverCityTokyoPlaza to see the Unicorn Gundam.
It’s a plaza selling all kinds of things, so there was a lot to see,
and there were restaurants too~

The Gundam I saw in Yokohama City in 2022 was the best,
but seeing the Unicorn Gundam was also somehow overwhelming?
Truly awesome.

If you go to Tokyo, try traveling to the outskirts instead of just the famous areas~
It’s full of charm, there’s quite a bit to see if you look for it,
and it’s perfect for traveling because it’s not crowded!

Then I went back to Shibuya and did some shopping🛍️
