Starbucks Reserve and teamLab: Planets

When Leos and I went to the Starbucks Reserve in Milan by chance, I did a bit of research to see where there were other reserves in the world and Tokyo was mentioned.  The place was huge!! It was 4 floors, each floor dedicated to different beverages.  The first floor was coffee, the second was tea, the third was cocktails and the 4th was a lounge area where most of the bagging of the roasted coffee beans went. I got a hojicha latte and Leos got some coffee with the beans that were roasted there.  We both enjoyed our drinks, but didn't buy any souvenirs because everything was quite expensive.  After Starbucks, we went to Nissan Crossing because I saw online that there was a cafĂ© that could print whatever picture you wanted on a cup of matcha latte or coffee.  I got a matcha latte with a picture of me wearing my kitty glasses!  It felt a bit strange to drink it, but it was quite nice.  Then we walked to Tsukiji Fish market.  It was a bit late so all the stands were pretty much closed, but we still got to see a little bit and also saw an interesting temple.  Then we made our way to Team Labs.  The exhibition was so cool.  We took so many photos so it was quite hard to edit this blog by choosing which pictures to include. It was a really great experience and we had a great time going through the whole thing.  We bought our tickets online in the morning, so we knew exactly what time we needed to be there.  For dinner we had Hiroshima style okonomiyaki.  It was really good.  It was such an eventful and busy day (pictures are not in order).
