Not all things in Tokyo are kawaii (adorable cuteness in Japanese pop culture), but let’s face it, many are just too lovable and awesome not to mention. Like Namja Town. Dan and I accidentally stumbled upon this gyoza and ice cream nirvana, and were simultaneously bewildered and amazed with what we found. (By the way, if you follow the links and are confused, have no fear — you are in good company. I still feel that way.) Namja Town is a food theme park, where you can try gyoza (dumplings) from different parts of Japan, and visit an ice cream museum full of flavors you never wanted to know existed, including…
Turkish tea ice cream, in a cone, dressed up like a Turkish man. It was also served by a (seemingly) Turkish man, who twirled it upside down before handing it over, making all the teenage girls in line shriek with delight. Please take note of the licorice scarf, my favorite part. This little man didn’t stand a chance.
I want to go to there.
Also…I’m loving the new banner thingy at the top of the page!
