the next day i woke up at like 7+am to get ready for my tokyo game show!! i reached about 8+ at makuhari station only to realise that i should have went to kaihin makuhari station instead :( so we took a feedle bus over (160yen) and finally reached around 9+am.

you can choose 2 different soups so we had soy bean sauce and some normal soup

and the vege/meat

this shabu-shabu features a self-made sauce where you grind the sesame seeds yourself and pour in the goma sauce, and another where you mix in the daikon with some ginger and soya sauce

we were preparing to pay up and leave when we were told that there's desserts so we went back to our seats to eat it of cos! it's a mochi-like thing with strawberry, chocolate and green tea flavour.
