After a short visit at Chie’s office in the morning – I was waiting in the car – we went to IKEA Funabashi store again. Just a few more things we had to do there. We also had a lunch at the IKEA store restaurant. Herb salmon and a salad.

We left IKEA at around 4:30 pm and drove back to Naka-meguro. Before assembling the boxes that we bought at IKEA we went out for dinner. However, it was tricky to find an open restaurant since most still had closed for the New Years holidays. Fish market and vegetable market is also closed so the really nice restaurants are closed because they cannot get fresh ingredients.

We found a kushi-yaki restaurant in Naka-meguro, Kushi-suke. It was OK, but not as our favorite kushi-yaki restaurant Yasaka, or Yodakinpo.
