ROKUMON TRAIN EXPERIENCE

​after learning about Rokumon - the special train in Nagano which runs from Friday to Sunday as a restaurant train, I wanted to experience this to celebrate a birthday in our family.

They have retrofitted the train with chairs and tables resembling like a restaurant.  It starts from Nagano Train station and ends at Karuizawa.

Along the way it stops at 2 places where we got off briefly to see what to buy. 

The next stop was a town with some music going.

The last stop is at Karuizawa where we saw the area where the Emperor waits for his train.  The nice room has beautiful Japanese paintings.  Then it goes back.  But we decided to stay on so we could shop a little at the Outlet.

TSUKIJI SUSHISAY #Tsukijimarket

I had to look for this restaurant which I ate at in 2010.  My memory is still good. After walking through stores each aisle, with patience, I finally found it.  I never knew the name then.

Such reasonable price for an Omakase.

So of course I added even a few more.  Freshly  caught that day! 

I had toro (fatty tuna on the front left, squid, ebi in the back (shrimp), crab meat behind, my favorite uni (sea urchin) in gold 2nd from the right and fish roe on the right.

Showing me the shell if the live large clam family below:

It still wiggled after he cut it. That fresh.

Another extra seafood I asked for that I don't see in the US.

I will always go back to this place.
