Mike & I ate dinner at かに道楽 one evening. It’s the crab restaurant that has the giant mechanical crab sign. There are many establishments. We ate at this particular Shinjuku one. We ordered a kaiseki set that included charcoal grilled king crab, crab tempura, crab sushi, crab sashimi, crab egg custard, crab miso, and more. For dessert there was green tea ice cream. The set was the easiest way to try a little bit of everything.
I forgot to take photos of a few dishes because… well we ate them; then I thought “whoops! Oh well too late now.” 
They sell a few mementos at the entrance. I’m not as much of a Hello Kitty fan these days but I am a big fan of hand towels. So I picked this up!
Looks less blown-out in person. Sunny window photo

Hara Donuts

はら ドーナツ [hara donuts] is a fairly new natural-style doughnut cafe. Established in 2009, it’s now a chain with multiple cafes, to-go shops, and cake roll shops (called hara roll.) The doughnuts are made using soy & whole grains so they’re naturally a bit healthier than the typical doughnut. They also have flavors such as “carrot,” which I ordered. These have such a light taste and crispy texture. I crave them now
I visited the cafe in Kichijoji. I picked up a mug and tote bag while there as well.
