I had a wonderful time at Suzukien trying their green tea and black sesame ice cream. I’ve been to a few places in the US that try to recreate this as soft serve. It’s close but nowhere near Suzukien’s distinctive levels of green tea ice cream intensity. It’s quite unique. The line moved quickly, the staff’s instructions were clear, and I had my ice cream within a few minutes. There’s also a nice lounge upstairs where you can enjoy your food. I had a nice time at Suzukien.

Spent a few minutes here after a NJPW event at Korakuen Hall (which I’ll be reviewing as well). This isn’t the biggest GiGO but they still had a great selection of gashapon and UFO catchers. I had just started watching Chainsaw Man so I HAD to have that a huge Pochita plushie. I’m no expert at these UFO catcher games. It took about 10-12 tries but I finally won it. Heck, $8-$10 spent for a plushie selling for $90 to $100 on E-Bay is win-win in my book.
