To add to that, they also had a nice assortment of Japanese-style breakfast items such as tamago (egg), miso soup, aji (dried horse mackerel), salted fish and pickled vegetables.
The next thing I tried was the Meiji yogurt which was rather interesting as it had a striking initial sour taste which, after some initial getting used to, tastes quite decent. The one beside it though, which appears to be a home-made or handmade version of it, was a bit too much to take all in one sitting - you're most welcome to give it a try though!
One other comment on my initial plate was that the fish off to the right has a very strong fishy smell to it so just a warning to stay away if you're not used to that either!
I was really lucky on one of the days we were here as we were able to see a nice, clear view of Mount Fuji off in the distance. I guess it does pay to visit in winter!
For seconds, I decided to be a little adventurous and got a little cup of natto (fermented soybeans). I'm still unsure why this is so popular here but suffice it to say, you might want to give this a pass. I guess I should have learnt my lesson after the yogurt but that almost pales in comparison to this experience which really does take some getting used to!
After that experiment gone wrong, I stuck to the tried and true, sampling only stuff I knew, like tofu, fried noodles, vegetables and egg.
They also had a decent selection of breads and fruits to round off the meal in case you're still hungry.
And with that, I'll leave you to enjoy a beautiful morning in Tokyo with a view of Mt Fuji!
