Pepper Lunch = Awesome Lunch

 

Hello Misawa!

I must say, I am a little bit ashamed that I haven’t had a post yet about Pepper Lunch. This is our favorite place to eat whenever we are at the Shimoda Jusco Mall!

Just go to the 2nd floor and head toward the food court. It is the first restaurant on your left. You can pay at the machine and press a button for whatever hot plate you would like. (all the food comes out on a sizzling plate, so be careful!). You can get a small, medium or large but we noticed that they are all pretty much the same, they just give you more rice. I always get a small. You can also get a set which includes a salad. If they offer you a card, take it! You get a free pepper lunch after visiting so many times. You will also get a free drink card!

There are many different dishes to choose from but I always get the curry. When you get your plate, make sure to mix up everything cooking it all together or if you get a steak dish, you cook the steak right there on your plate! A small without a drink is 580 yen. You really can’t go wrong with a trip to Pepper Lunch! If you haven’t tried it already,  I hope you will!

Baskin Robbins

Now, you are probably wondering why I am bothering  to blog about Baskin Robbins while there are hundreds of stores in the United States. Let me tell you, Baskin Robbins in Japan are simply awesome! I particularly wanted to blog about going today because of the very cute Halloween decorations. (I really love Halloween!)
Also, I’m talking about the Baskin Robbins at the Shimoda (Jusco) mall, not the one on base! When you enter, you are invited by bright fluorescent lights, the shrill childish voices of Japanese women shouting “Irrashaimase!” and pink. My God, so much pink! But it really is awesome and they have the best seasonal flavors!

One other thing they have at this Baskin Robbins that they don’t on base is crepes! They are wonderful! You can even get a “crepe card” and get a free one after so many stamps!

Right now when you buy anything from BR, you can pick a scratch ticket. If you are lucky, you get a prize like a pen, bookmark etc. And they are really cute! So, next time you are going to the mall, make sure to stop by Baskin Robbins before you leave!
