Y’all may have gathered that CJ and I recently went to Tokyo and had a simply mah-velous time! While I loved every minute of our trip, Wednesday was definitely the most magical – and it all happened at Ginza.

Lunch at Jiro’s

That’s right. THE Jiro’s, as in Jiro Dreams of Sushi. It was an incredibly cool surprise from our friends. (I’ve mentioned foodiecow’s Instagram before. If you like food, you should follow her.)

The sushi and the experience did NOT disappoint! Jiro was not there, but his son was present, and he kept the operation running as smoothly as the movie lead me to believe. We had about a half hour at the bar, one magnificent piece of sushi after another. Then we were ushered to a different table to enjoy our musk melon dessert!

Jiro’s is pretty strict about no photos inside, however we were allowed to take pictures of the door.
