in the neighbourhood pics,Tokyo 2006

I live in a quaint village in Setagaya-ku.It is very freindly and local.I like it.
It is located 15 mins by train or bus or car from Shinjuku/Shibuya and Harajuku.

This is the local sushi shop.On the 2F is a fugu bar,that is the poisonous fish.I have never tried it.Approximately 10 people a year die from fugu.This restaurant is called 'Midori-Zushi'.They are famous for extra fresh and etra large servings of sushi.There 'Anago' is huge and comes serverd warm.

Across and up the rd is McDonalds.The happy meal at the moment is 'The chronicles of narnia'.
I like the ebi-o-fillet burger with corn potage soup and the fresh salad.It costs about $5 or 500 yen for a set meal.
