Oh and we actually had an extra bowl of eel (yes, we had way too much we couldn't even finish it!) but it's not in this photo.A good way to save money while traveling (well a good way to save money in general) is to buy groceries.
While we were in Ameyoko yesterday, we came across a bunch of fish! We had been planning on cooking dinner that night for our host, Andrew, so we decided to make sushi! Haha. Two American girls making sushi in Japan.
So in Ameyoko, we ended up buying eel for 1000 yen. That is $10. We didn’t know what to get for sides so we were super frustrated and eventually gave up.
After hitting up Ameyoko, Steph and I crossed the street toward the train station. It was so frustrating not having the stuff we needed and we were all the way on the other side of the city. Tokyo is a HUGE city. It’s not like San Francisco, where we’re from where it seems big but is really only 7 square miles big.
Anyway, we had just gotten into Daikanyama yesterday so we didn’t really know where everything was. Instead of going into the station right away, Steph took a smoke break and I started roaming around. I noticed that there was a department store looking place and in the basement was a grocery food store! Apparently those are very popular in Tokyo!
We were able to score some rice topped with seaweed wrap, mushrooms, and cucumbers for less than 9 bucks all together!

Total for the meal: 1834 yen. That’s less than 20 bucks. Yum!
