After the Peace Park, the plan was for D and I to shop a little on nearby Hondori Street, and meet up with K, S & j for dinner. I was able to go to Kiddyland, Daiso and Muji, all of which I had been to in Tokyo, but I didn’t feel as rushed. I liked how things felt more compact in that there is just one main street. 
There is also a Mister Donut!!
We were told that we had to try the “Pon de Ling” (actually spelled “Pon de Ring”). It looks like a ring of donut holes (hence the name) but it is unique because it has a slight mochiko chew to it.
For dinner we ate at Mos Burger, another place I was looking forward to trying.
D had the regular hamburger. The verdict was that it was good, but small. It looks big here due to the lettuce. The fries were burn-your-fingers-hot.
I tried the rice burger with beef. Instead of a bun, there are two rice patties. 
Not the most appetizing picture, I know. It was good, but messy. If I were to go again I would probably try the rice burger with a regular patty. My mom sent me an article talking about a restaurant that combines Mos Burger/Mister Donut called “MosDo”. I guess we did our own MosDo outing even though we had to make two different stops.
Since we left room for dessert (ha!), we walked back to Andersen’s bakery. We bought a few things for breakfast the next day and admired the displays.
Hiroshima bread, which according to my sister, is very good.
However, the one thing we had to try, according to her, was the sakura (cherry blossom) gelato. (Or was it ice cream? I’m not sure). She even treated us to the cone, as if we needed any convincing! 
I think this made up for D’s missing the Starbucks sakura latte. It had a subtle cherry flavor with a floral background, if that makes any sense. It is really difficult to describe, but very refreshing. There are even flecks of cherry blossom leaves in it.
We also made another stop at the Loft, which proved difficult to find. We walked back to my sister’s place before dark. I took some pictures of their place to get a sense of their living arrangement. Hopefully they don’t mind me posting them!
Their apartment is actually the same size as our house. They have a nice view of a river and a balcony.
A large living area
Connected to a dining area
Different angle
They also brought their cat over to Japan, but since D and I are allergic to cats, we kept our distance. However, I only had to take 1 Benadryl the first night and I was fine for the rest of our stay!
