We decided to have ramen for lunch and chose to go to Kyushu Jangara Ramen Ginza, which is an 11-minute walk from Pain Maison.
The line was long, so we placed our order in advance while waiting.
However, other customers ahead of us had strollers, and the staff insisted that strollers should be left outside. So, the customer had to leave the stroller outside and enter.
Our Onu is currently taking a nap soundly in the stroller, but not being able to take the stroller into the store was quite unexpected and disappointing.
We couldn't wake the baby up for a meal, even if we had already placed our order..
The most important thing is for our little one to eat peacefully without disturbance. Just as we were about to ask the staff to cancel our order and find another place to eat as a family, our little prince suddenly opened his eyes wide.
I thought I was going to have a leisurely meal, but in the end, I ended up dining with my son, hehe...
I entered the ramen restaurant holding Onu, and it was a really, really small place.
If we had asked for a baby chair, they would have provided one, but we felt it would be okay to hold him while eating, so we declined.
The table was so small that it would have been full with just my bowl of ramen on it.
I brought along Onu's soybean paste soup and rice, which I had warmed up at our accommodation and put in a thermos, and set them out on the table.
My husband ate uncomfortably while holding Onu, but he said he enjoyed it nonetheless.
According to my husband's review, this ramen restaurant was the most delicious food he had during his trip to Tokyo.
The ramen that my husband ordered (Bonshan/Creamy Tonkotsu Soup) was more delicious than the cool and light ramen (Kyushu Jangara/Mild Tonkotsu Soup) that I ordered.
I paid 2840 yen for two pieces of Kyushu Jangara ramen, and it was a very cost-effective meal in expensive Tokyo.
My friends ate quickly and moved on to find the next place, a cafe, while we ate and fed Onu slowly.
There was a wait at the cafe, but it was nice that my friends went first and stood in line.
The cafe was HARBS LUMINE Yurakucho, located on the second floor of Ginza Lumine, and a 10-minute walk from Kyushu Jangara Ramen Restaurant.
The cafe is a place for adults, and Onu felt very frustrated because he had to sit still.
But the adults can't give up caffeine and sugar.
We each ordered a cup of Americano and a signature cake (Mille Crepes).
A crepe cake with fruit came out, but I would say the fruit didn't look delicious.
I thought the delicious-looking fruits on the cake were berries, and the fruits included here, such as papaya and banana, were pale in color and did not look mouth-watering.
But it was so delicious than I expected..
The bread was delicious, not too creamy and light, and the fruit was sweet and soft, so it went really well with the bread.
The coffee was too bitter so I drank it with water.
I tried to give Onu snacks, but since all the adults ate cake, he wanted to eat what the adults were eating too.
He ended up giving it a bite...
There is a time limit for using the store here, and it is 2 hours.
But we had an upcoming schedule, so we could only stay for about an hour.
Everyone was so tired that they seemed to want to cancel their plans for the next day and rest more at the cafe, but since we had reserved the aquarium admission tickets in advance by specifying the date, we had to cheer up and leave.
The cost for coffee and cake for two was 1960 yen.
To depart for Mexel Aquarium, I purchased a 170 yen ticket at Yurakucho Station and took the Yamanote Line to 5 stops.
I was so excited to go there in one go without having to transfer to the other line.
A little happiness while traveling.
