    Hello Riri Travels. Today, i followed your Shibamata itinerary and I couldn’t be happier. Though I didn’t have time to include exploring the back of the tea house and Kasai Shrine, it was still the best time for me. At Yamamoto Tei was a time well spent. I also finished my trip with a hearty meal at Monzen Toraya. Thank you. I feel productive today. Tomorrow, i’ll do your Yanaka area itinerary. Wish me luck.

    I really enjoyed the video🎉 I love how things are the same all over the world and you don't even realize it. One of my favorite things is a scrambled egg sandwich🎉 my mom always served it to me on white bread with mayonnaise salt and pepper. Delicious🎉. I highly recommend it if you have an enjoyed it that way I'm going to try my next time with a little bit of mustard🎉. PS I think the best way of preparing scrambled eggs is in a microwave safe Bowl. I know it sounds crazy but if you try it once you'll be hooked. The thickest wonderfully fluffiest eggs you've ever had. The secret is let it get like a thick Patty stir it once in between. It will literally grow right in front of your eyes you just have to make sure it's fully cooked trust me anyone can do it🎉 my ex-girlfriend was a vegetarian it was her favorite🎉 have a great day🎉

It's amazing how far a bit of charm and politeness gets you in life, right? I love Shibamata. Also, Sepia cafe doesn't get enough love, it's such fun. What a charming area, you filmed it all so beautifully.
