Sumo Tournament and lots of udon

We found our quaint little hotel, showered and freshened up a little and went exploring.
First there was a food floor in the basement of a large fancy schmancy department store by our hotel. Here are some samples. 
We didnt try the sushi yet, but it looked delicious. 
And the melons! For the next wedding you attend, how about gifting the bride and groom with a melon? No, not just an ordinary melon. This one comes with the price tag of $162 - a little steep you say? I don't know, it comes with its own fancy box 

 Lunch was ordered out of the machine on the right of this restaurant and eaten inside. Delicious Udon serrved with a smile. 

Then came the time to go to the Sumo Tournament. This is one of the largest in Japan and we were lucky Ori found out about it. 
Small world, we bumped into friends there and spend the evening chit chatting and then went out to Akhihabara together and for dinner. 

It is the electronics centre of Tokyo, where toys and accessories of the past and future can be found in plenty. Crazy things can be seen there. 
 and entire store dedicated to the Yoyo. And these were no simple yoyos - cheapest was $48 and the highest, not taking into conideration to the collectors items, the highest i found were over $200!!

Its the end of the last day and we are zonked.
Tomorrow more adventures await.
