I went to Daikanyama for lunch and shopping, and then headed to Shibuya to take the Ginza Line to Ueno for the Van Gogh exhibition at 4 o'clock. It was my first time at Shibuya Station on the Ginza Line since it has been renovated. Despite the closing time approaching in the evening, I lined up to enter the exhibition. It's incredibly popular. It's been a while since I've been to an art museum, and I was very satisfied. Now, what should I have for dinner? There are limited options in Ueno, but there are places like "Seisei Hanten," "Wine Shokudo Papan," "Kanoya" for daytime drinking parties, and "Chanchanken" for Tanmen to finish off the night. I haven't been to "Fumisaku" much, but I feel like having yakiniku... I'll go to "Kinpoin," where the Harami is delicious and highly recommended. I first heard about this place from reviews about their udon being a staple, and I also became a fan because of the lovely smile of the mama-san. I arrived a little after 5:30 pm and was the first in line. It quickly filled up afterward! I'm glad I came early. I drank too much yesterday, so I'll have a bottle of beer! Do you have makgeolli today? Yes, we have makgeolli! (Their homemade makgeolli is served in a beer bottle.) I'm not that hungry, so I'll have one serving of salted tongue, two servings of Harami, and a set of lettuce wraps. I slowly cooked each piece of meat while still immersed in the afterglow of Van Gogh. It's been a while since I've been here, but the tongue and Harami are still delicious. The flavor of the meat is rich, and the sauce for the Harami is also great. Once when I brought my second daughter (a friend who had a birthday party yesterday), my mother said, "You can drink this Harami, can't you?" This child immediately said, "It's delicious, so I can drink it." We also got a few shiso leaves and miso with the lettuce wraps, which made for a perfect palate cleanser. If you layer a shiso leaf and a piece of lettuce, add some tasty miso, and eat it, it's a perfect break between bites. I started to feel full and uncomfortable as I ate slowly. I'll use this strategy next time too! I really want to try the hot pot here, but I need to come with 3 or 4 people, so it will have to wait until next time. It was a fulfilling and enjoyable holiday. I'm a bit scared to step on the scale, but I feel like I can work hard again starting tomorrow...٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
