I visited Sumiyoshi Shrine in Hakata in March, 2014
—
It was still early, I had picked up a quick breakfast at 7-Eleven. Fried chicken and a bottle of green tea. The chicken at convenience stores in Japan can be addictive, although not too healthy I presume. But that’s another story.
I visited Asakusa in January, 2016
—
I hadn’t eaten yet, had gone straight from home and to the train, then the subway before I arrived in Asakusa. I was getting hungry, was looking for something to eat.
I found a street vendor by the entrance to Nakamise-dori selling Nikuman, the delicious Japanese steamed buns with meat filling. I got two filled with pork along with a bottle of green tea. Brought them with me as I made my way through the crowds at Nakamise-dori toward the tempel, looking for a place to sit down and enjoy my breakfast.
