Sorry its been a while since I sat down and worked on my trip report. So lets get started...
Well hang on a second I do have a side bar.... In my first installment I said that on the way home I started planning another trip to Tokyo, well that is going to happen sooner... just way sooner than later. Like in October of this year...

Okay back to my trip report...
As we headed back on the train, it was super duper crowded. Packed to the gills as some would say. When we got off the train in Shibuya it had just finished raining, and we stopped and took a video of the Scramble and the busses coming and going, it is one of the best shot that I took of it. It was getting dark, and everything had that wet shiny look, and the lights reflecting off of everything, looked like something out of a movie. If I can I will try to link it.
As we headed out of the station. We were both so hungry, that we decided to grab some dinner. With Google maps in hand we headed for Ichiran Ramen. You really have to look for the sign, we did walk by it once, when I looked back I saw the sign. It is in what I would call a basement area, down some very steep and narrow stairs, still this did not keep us from getting in line, we were very lucky that there were only around 5 or 6 other parties in front of us and we did wait on the stairs. We did wait around 30 or so minutes, Let me tell you it was worth the wait for sure. The experience was so fun, and the food was delicious, I loved that we could customize how we like our ramen. We did go with the extra pork option and extra green onions only 1 order and it was quite plentiful and we shared it. DH did order 2 beers, I ordered a bottle tea drink of some kind, it was different sorta like green tea, and peach tea, with a splash of some type of citrus it was on the weaker side it was cold and refreshing. I would ordered it again. There are water cups and a water tap is what I would call it in each compartment, the divider does move back like a accordion door so you can talk with others in your party. With the first bite DH and I both said hummmmmm ! my tip here is order everything at once. make sure to clean up your area before leaving.
We both were full and happy. We decided to head back over to Shibuya Parc to see if we could score anything for some of kiddo's on our list for gifts. Mario had some type of event going on there were over 100 people waiting to get inside the store... that was a hard nope for sure, Pokemon pretty much had the same thing as when we where there the first time, we did spend quite a bit of time shopping around in some of the other areas... I will say if you love beautiful handbags, this is the place for you...as well be prepared for some major sticker shock. I did not buy a bag, I did however enjoy looking at them... lol.
We did make a stop at the Food Show on the way back to the hotel, all those tasty desserts where calling out to us. We ended up with some cookies, and a giant slice of cake with strawberries, and it had flowers on it as well. We headed back to the hotel with our treats. The cake was super light and airy, lighter than angel food, and the strawberries had a been glazed with something, yet it was not overly sweet, and the flavor was really good. This was a home run for sure.
We called it a night, and honestly I was asleep before my head even hit the pillow.
