I finished work early, so I decided to take a stroll through the backstreets and ended up buying a cap. I walked through Takeshita Street and headed towards Harajuku Station. The area was crowded with foreigners and tourists, and many shops had their shutters down, some even entire buildings. As I approached the exit of the street, I noticed something odd. Half of the store that used to sell band T-shirts and cheap accessories had been transformed into a kebab shop. What's more, the kebab shop was being run not by someone from Central Asia, but by a flat-faced lady. And they didn't just sell kebabs, they also had Korean dishes like Yangnyeom Chicken, Kimbap, Spam sushi, and even lamb kebabs, which I had been craving for a while. I couldn't believe I could find lamb kebabs in Harajuku, when even Okubo and Shin-Okubo didn't have them. I ordered a lamb kebab sandwich for 650 yen (cheap) and a small can of ginger ale for 100 yen. The sandwich was packed with cabbage and thinly sliced lamb, topped with a refreshing yogurt sauce, tomatoes, and cucumbers. I sat on a round stool outside the shop, enjoying the breeze and watching people heading home. I thought it would be nice to grab a beer from the convenience store and come back here. By the way, the lady running the shop is apparently half Korean and half Japanese.
