Tokyo introduction

Tuna jaw meat for sashimi was on sale.
In Japan, fresh fish that can be eaten raw is sold for sashimi.
Using a knife and spoon, remove the flesh from the bones and skin.

The white stringy parts are skewered and scalded over a fire before cutting.
Tuna jaw sashimi and seared sashimi are ready to eat.

We enjoyed them with yuzu kosho and soy sauce.

The number of high-rise apartments is increasing in Tokyo.
This is a park above Tatsumi Station on the Yurakucho subway line.

From the park, you can see the high-rise condominiums across the canal.
Even in a city with the latest technology, a park with greenery is an important place to relax.

There were not many people at this time, but later on, many parents and children came to the park.

The towing boat pulled the raft and skillfully went through the water gate.
In Tokyo, many things are still carried by boat.

I couldn't help but look at the raft for a while, as it was just barely wide enough to fit through the gate.

I found chrysanthemum flowers on sale, so I bought some.
Of course, I bought them to eat. (^-^)

Pluck off the petals of the chrysanthemum.

Put them in a pot filled with water and boil.

As soon as the water comes to a boil, put them in a colander.

Cool in ice water, drain, and serve.

It is also delicious with a little ponzu or salad sauce.

I passed by the Harumi Bridge on my bicycle.
The view of Toyosu from the top of the Harumi Bridge in the evening was very beautiful.

The many skyscrapers of offices, condominiums, and commercial facilities lit up the sea of Toyosu.
