6/23/2015 Ueno zoo, Tonkin

Because the fish market was closed, we slept in and had a relaxing day in Tokyo.  Breakfast at the club was normal American, but quite inexpensive, considering.  

Leaving our stuff at the club, we spent the day at the zoo.  They have 2 pandas and all the other normal stuff.  Calder was happy to see the red pandas - his new favorite.  There were several types of hedgehogs - my favorite.

For dinner we went to Tonki.  This is Alec and Jef's favorite pork cutlet restaurant.  (In Japan restaurants specialize.  So everyone is going to have the same thing.  You all have to agree before choosing a restaurant.)

When you walk in the door, you say how many cutlets your party is going to have.  Then you wait for seats to be available.  

The cutlets are breaded:

Put in the fryer:

Cut carefully:

This cutie is the cutter:

And served:

You can ask for more cabbage.  (You can in America also.)

After dinner we went back to the American club.  Our guest membership was still active.  Everyone else went swimming.  I sat and knitted.

We headed back home tired but happy.
