When our plans for this evening fell through, Tom and I decided to try out a new restaurant called Harajuku Kitchen while mapping out our trip to Japan.

We ordered the sweet potato tempura roll, the gourmet roll and a bowl of sashimi.

Though the sushi wasn't as good as Kanpai, the menu included a wider selection of dishes and the staff were so friendly. I'd definetly go back!

To celebrate and for inspiration, we treated ourselves to lunch at Harajuku Kitchen.

I had a sweet potato tempura hand roll, Tom had tempura Udon and we shared some tuna nori and vegetable gyoza. The gyoza used texture trickery to make them seem meaty but the waitress assured us there was no meat involved.
