Kaibori in progress


They look like tiny seagulls. Where are they from? There are 150+ kinds of birds reported in this park but I haven't seen most of them.

Häagen-Dazs - Mitarashi Walnuts & Kinako Black Sugar Syrup

Mitarashi (sugar + soy sauce glaze) and walnuts


I think I've found the worst flavor

Kinako (roasted soy bean flour + sugar) & black sugar syrup


This is OK. I'm glad I ate Mitarashi & Walnuts first.

Kaibori - Lake draining

Draining started about two months ago.

It seems this is the best they can do. Water keeps flowing out of the lake bed no mater how much water they drain.

Inokashira Lake

Now they started draining the main lake again a few days ago.
