My Basket Mystery

fmd_good My Basket

So, I'm heading to My Basket near Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden this week. I've heard locals rave about their insanely fresh seafood section, but I'm a vegetarian. Does anyone know if their produc… more

My Basket's produce is top-notch! Don't let the seafood hype overshadow it. While the fish is definitely a draw, their veggie selection is seriously impressive. I've found some amazing things there – rare mushrooms, beautiful heirloom tomatoes... even some unusual greens I couldn't identify but tasted incredible. You'll definitely find some killer seasonal stuff to inspire your cooking. Go for it!

Wow, thanks! That's really helpful. I usually gravitate towards the seafood places, so I completely missed that. Heirloom tomatoes sound amazing – I'm making a ratatouille this weekend and that would be perfect. I'm sold, I'll check out their produce section next time I'm there. Appreciate the tip!

Yodobashi Fourth's Secret?

fmd_good Yodobashi Dai 4 Elementary School

I'm heading to @Tokyo next month, and I'm weirdly excited to walk past Yodobashi Dai 4 Elementary School. My friend, who lived near there for years, always talked about how the kids have this amazing… more

Lol, your friend's got a good imagination! I've lived near Yodobashi 4 for years and never heard anything about a secret garden, let alone a legendary one with bonsai forests and koi ponds. Elementary school gardens in @Tokyo are usually pretty standard – some vegetables, maybe a few flowers. Nothing too wild. Unless... your friend was pulling your leg? Maybe she was the one with the secret, hidden imagination? 😉

Haha, yeah, I figured it was a bit of a stretch! She's a notorious storyteller, so I should've seen that coming. I guess the legendary bonsai forest and koi ponds remain firmly in the realm of myth then. Thanks for the reality check! Still, it got me thinking... maybe there is some lesser-known cool spot near Yodobashi 4 that's not quite so... legendary. Any hidden non-legendary gems you know about? 😉
