A Walk around Nakano Broadway / 中野ブロードウェイの散歩

Last weekend we went to the other Akihabara, Nakano Broadway. Mikako had never been there and was curious to check it out. Unfortunately for Mikako, I was the one who was more entertained with all the anime figures and other related items. Still, it was a nice day for a walk.

先週の休日に別の秋葉原、中野ブロードウェイに行きました。美香子が行った事がないので、行ってみたかった。でも美香子より、自分のほうが楽しんでた。なぜなら昔のアニメフィギアとおもちゃが沢山あったからです。ま、散歩日和の日だから、美香子は文句一つ言えず。

We also thought we would shop for Mother's Day here as well but heck, this is Nakano Broadway, nothing to be found for our mothers. But we knew we were sure to find some place nice for lunch.

母の日の為の物も買おうと思ってたんですが、ここは中野ブロドウェイ、お母さん達に合う物があるはずない。でも昼ごはんに美味しい店が見つかると思った。

As we were walking around the shopping area, it was noon and we found a nice little beef tongue restaurant and decided to eat there.

歩きながら、昼になって、牛タン専門店を発見。ランチはそこに決定しました。

I ordered the beef tongue and tongue stew special which included soup, rice, and salad. Mikako ordered just the beef tongue special.

僕が注文したのは牛タンとシチューのランチスペシャル。美香子は牛タンスペシャルを頼んだ。

But on our way to lunch, we passed by this dango shop that was giving off this heavenly scent so we had to go there for dessert. There were four different kinds on offer: isobe, shoyu, mitarashi, and an. What's a dango? Its three small omochi balls on a skewer. Isobe is dango wrapped with nori (seaweed). Shoyu is soy sauce. Mitarashi is a sweet and sour sauce, and an is a sweet bean paste. We ordered one each of isobe, mitarashi, and shoyu.

ランチを食べる前に、良い香りの団子屋もあって、ランチを食べた後にもちろん団子買いに行きました。四種類の味があって、醤油、いそべ、あん、とみたらし。私たちは醤油、いそべ、とみたらし団子一本ずつを買いました。

It was so delicious!!

とっても美味しかった！！
