We decided just to walk around this area of the city and take Kent to a park. We also stopped in come grocery stores so I could see what is offered. These stores are in the more affluent part of the city, so the prices are really high. Yuka tells me that for those residents who cook with mostly fish, rice and traditional Japanese vegetables, the food prices are very reasonable....but not in these stores!
