Asakusa Lunch

This Monday, I went to Asakusa, the most popular sightseeing spot in Tokyo, with a guy from the U.S. who is visiting Japan for the first time and will be in Japan for a few more weeks.

We went to a Japanese restaurant in Soramachi shopping center close to the Sky Tree. The atmosphere of the restaurant was so Japanese. We had set menus that included Soba and raw fish. I showed him how to slurp Japanese noodles. In Japan, you have to slurp for the noodles to be delicious but he seemed he had trouble slurping. I don't know if he really couldn't slurp or he was just embarrassed to do it... We had raw fish, too, but as soon as he put the raw tuna in his mouth, he said he didn't like the texture of it and I ended up eating the rest of his raw fish (he told me the Soba was delicious).

After Lunch, we went to Nakamise and the Sky Tree, but having Lunch at the Japanese restaurant with an American guy was the most fun part of this Asakusa sightseeing.
