Chapter 438: The Three Gods of Tokyo

Leaving Sensoji Temple, John then went to Tokyo Tower.

Tokyo Tower is modeled after the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but it is 13 feet taller than the Eiffel Tower, and uses half the material, and a third of the steel used comes from scrapped tanks of the U.S. Army during the Korean War.

At 150 meters high and 250 meters high, there is an observatory with a large glass inlay around the observatory, so that visitors can enjoy the scenery from the top of the tower, and you can see the whole of Tokyo from the 250-meter observation deck, especially if the weather is clear, you can see Mt. Fuji to the west.

John's luck is very good, today's weather is very clear, cloudless, rare good weather, standing in the 250-meter observatory, he not only saw the whole of Tokyo, but also saw Mount Fuji in the distance, saving him a trip, no need to go to Mount Fuji to check in.

After coming down from the observation deck, John went to Ginza.

Ginza is actually a business district, not unlike New York's Fifth Avenue, where you can buy world-famous brands. It is one of the world's three most prosperous centers along with Fifth Avenue in New York and the Champs-Elysées in Paris.

The place of Ginza is said to have been a sea in the past, and then Tokugawa Ieyasu reclaimed the land to create such a place, and later the Edo period silver coin minting office moved here from Shizuoka, so it was called Ginza, and then after the Black Ship Incident, Japan opened its doors, and after foreigners poured into Japan to settle in Ginza, Western civilization and culture were brought with it, and cafes, bars, and galleries slowly appeared in Ginza...... It has gradually become a bustling business district and a gateway to the world for Japanese people.

But this place was not very attractive to John.

John stretched out his hand from his small coat and opened his mouth with food, and he didn't lack anything in life, and if he lacked it, he believed that he couldn't buy it in Ginza.

However, there is no shortage of things, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing, and you will lose the fun of ordinary people, just like standing on a high place, although you can see a lot of things, you will inevitably have to endure loneliness.

After walking around, some fine sweat broke out on John's forehead, and he took off the Leica camera hanging around his neck and handed it to Dani on the side: "Okay, let's stop shopping, let's go eat!"

"Okay boss, what do you want to eat first?" asked Dani as she picked up the camera.

John thought about it for a moment, "Well, let's go eat tempura first!"

"Good. Dani nodded, turned around and told KA to prepare the vehicle.

Ten minutes later, John was led by the "tour guide" to Saotome Tetsuya's restaurant, which was a mountain house.

This tour guide was arranged by the Japanese government for John, he is five big and three thick, and his eloquence is not very good, but this guy is a local, and he is quite familiar with Tokyo, the most important thing is that he is the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department's Police Protection Division, and the Japanese government arranged him next to John to let some cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods automatically avoid it, so as not to disturb John's Yaxing.

It is a small area of the mountain house, the decoration is average, and it is a little depressing to walk in, not like a Michelin restaurant at all, because after the meal, the eight or nine seats in the restaurant are empty, only the clerk is busy at the desk.

After seeing John and the others walk in, the restaurant owner, Saotome Tetsuya, quickly greeted him from the desk, brought John and the others to the table, and served the menu.

The menu is very interesting, with hand-drawn fish, shrimp and various vegetables, which are vividly drawn on the page.

"Give me a shrimp, a sea urchin, a cuttlefish, and a hole. John pointed to the hand-drawn dishes on the menu and ordered himself four dishes, and he had to go to eat grilled fish later, so he had to save some stomach.

"I want a hole and sea urchin!" Dai Ni on the side ordered two to taste.

"Okay, please wait!" Saotome Tetsuya bowed to John and Dani, and quickly returned to the desk to operate.

John was sitting right in front of Tetsuya Saotome, and he could clearly see the whole process of Tetsuya Saotome's operation.

Ordinary tempura cooks will throw a little batter into the pan to test the oil temperature when frying food, but Saotome Tetsuya didn't do anything, just quietly looked at the oil pan, as if staring at the sea, and waited until the oil temperature was okay for a moment, he suddenly moved, wrapped the shrimp in the batter and put it in the oil pan, waved the fried chopsticks, drew a beautiful arc, and a fried shrimp was placed in front of John.

John picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the shrimp, the crispy crust was hidden with sweet and elastic shrimp meat.

"Not bad!" John nodded with satisfaction after eating a shrimp, wanting to fry the shrimp like this, in addition to the mastery of the heat, but also the mastery of time, not a second more than a second.

The second dish is sea urchin, perilla leaves are wrapped in sea urchin and fried together, which can be very fishy, coupled with accurate time and oil temperature control, a sea urchin is fried delicious and juicy, and even Dani, who doesn't like fried food, is amazed after eating.

After eating a few dishes, John put down his chopsticks, he was very satisfied with this tempura, Saotome Tetsuya's craftsmanship is indeed amazing, and he can be called a master.

Other people fried tempura look at the thermometer and look at the clock, but the ingredients are different from the ingredients, just like people are tall, short, fat and thin, and fry different ingredients at the same time and temperature, and the fried tempura is naturally average, only like Saotome Tetsuya who understands the state of the ingredients from the sound and bubbles is the most accurate, and the fried tempura is the most authentic.

If you want to achieve such a state, it will not happen overnight, you need to spend decades of study and persistence, and for such a person who only does one thing with his heart in his life, John is very respectful.

"Thank you for your hospitality, I learned perseverance and dedication from the food you made, which we Americans need to learn from you Japanese. "John is very appreciative of the dedication and persistence of the Japanese.

The Germans are rigorous, the Japanese are focused, the Jews are patient, the Chinese are industrious, and the Americans are pragmatic. And it's because of this that the world doesn't look so bad.

"Thank you for your patronage, I hope to serve you again next time. ”

Tetsuya Saotome bowed to John and personally escorted John out of the restaurant.

Then John ate Kanejiro's grilled eel, and as for Jiro Ono's sushi, he also ate a piece out of respect, and it tasted good, and the food made with his heart would not taste too bad.

After tasting the craftsmanship of the three gods of Tokyo, John returned to the courtyard, where he needed a break to recuperate for the evening feast.

In order to welcome his arrival, the emperor specially held a banquet at the Imperial Palace, so he went to the Imperial Palace in the evening to make an appointment to meet Emperor Akihito.
