After participating in a futsal tournament, we entered the restaurant. The place was clean and had a nice atmosphere with plenty of spacious seating. Our group sat at a sofa table towards the back, perfect for our group of 5. Since it was Sunday afternoon, we toasted with beers. Each of us ordered lunch from the menu. Some items were sold out, so we ended up getting the locomoco and hamburger plate. The hamburger plate was around 1200 yen and came with a Caesar salad, soup, lots of potatoes, a hamburger, and a drink bar. The salad and potatoes were decent, but nothing special. The main hamburger was not very substantial, and the meat didn't seem particularly high quality. It wasn't bad, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, so it didn't bother us too much. However, we probably won't be going back there again.

At the NHK Hall, I attended a live event. I had some extra time so I went to a nearby cafe. They had a wide variety of beers, which I found interesting, but since I had a long live show ahead, I opted for an herbal tea. The herbs in a clear glass were beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the fragrance of lemongrass. There were also rosemary and mint in it. I was told that it would be ready to drink once the hourglass ran out, so I patiently waited. When I poured it into the glass, the aroma became even more refreshing. Adding honey created a different taste experience.

Drink bar \400 located next to Yoyogi Stadium, a sports cafe & bar. Right in front of a futsal court. Visited on a holiday afternoon. The stadium had a match going on, and there was an event in the park. The weather was amazing, but I was tired from walking and just wanted to cool off, so I entered the cafe. At this time, there were only about 4 groups of people including myself in the spacious and new cafe, making it very quiet. However, the staff seemed a bit unfriendly and there weren't many food options available at this time. I think they had pancakes and pizza. Hmm, only these two choices... Since it's a sports bar, there is a screen installed in a visible position from any seat. It's not very large, maybe around 30-40 inches? The seating is divided into sofas, tables, and terrace seats. On this day, there was a baseball game playing, but the volume was at a normal level. Oh well. Despite that, I was able to relax in the comfortable air-conditioned space. This place would surely be great for getting excited with friends during sports events. I bet it gets really lively after the games end. I could hear the cheers from the supporters... sounds intense!

Today I came to Yoyogi First Gymnasium to see a festival. Today at Tokyo Harajuku <Yoyogi First Gymnasium Vortex>, hot dogs are 500 yen. It is a live show featuring 6 artists under the theme "MUSIC FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE 2014". Before it starts, I decided to grab something to eat and found a shop inside the venue. I ordered a hot dog, which seemed like it would fill me up the most. Luckily, I could bring it to my seat, so I bought it and headed back to my seat. Many others had the same idea, so there was a long line at the shop. After waiting for 15 minutes, I finally got my hot dog and returned to my seat. I had to put mustard and ketchup on it myself, which was a bit difficult while holding a drink in one hand. I wish they had done it for me. The hot dog itself seemed to have been microwaved, so the bun was a bit soggy... disappointing. But I can't dwell on that. I need to focus on the live show now!!! But seriously, though...

I went to the National Yoyogi Stadium for some errands on this day. Here is a shop located right in front of the Arena entrance on the basement floor of the First Gymnasium. They sell drinks, soup, sandwiches, snacks, and more. When I asked the female staff for recommendations, she said, "Everything is delicious! ☆" She has a very cute smile. I love cheese, so I decided to try the "Hokkaido 3 Cheese Croquette" for 200 yen. It contains three types of cheese - mozzarella, gouda, and cheddar. I wanted to eat it right away, but there was no place to eat inside the shop. So, I had to leave the gymnasium and eat on a bench. The cheese croquette has a sticky texture and a strong cheese aroma and flavor. It may not be the best croquette, but if you love cheese, it's definitely worth trying. The shop offers a variety of drinks and food, making it a convenient place to grab a bite. Note: I'm not sure about the opening hours, but the shop was already open when I arrived at the gymnasium at 9:30 am. Some items like the cheese croquette, fried chicken, and fries are available from around 10 am.
