Happy Thanksgiving (and thank you, Fujimamas!)
On sort of a last second whim we decided to try to find a place in Tokyo that serves Thanksgiving dinner. We succeeded when we ran across Fujimamas in Omotesando.
Their website said they were serving Thanksgiving dinner both Thursday and Friday, but they were already booked solid.
Fortunately they offered it for lunch as well, so Matt, Kang and myself made our way down.
As we expected, the place was mostly full of gaijin, the vast majority of whom were Amerika-jin. And I'd guess that 99% of them ordered the turkey lunch special.
The pictures are a bit dark, but you'll get the idea.
Turkey (dark meat on top, light meat on the side)
Mashed potatoes (under the turkey)
Green Beans
Cranberry sauce (just peaking out on the left of the turkey)
Stuffing on the right.
Given the fact that Tokyo has shrunk down considerably what my idea of a full portion is, I was quite stuffed after eating this and a piece of cheesecake for dessert.
Almost done!
It was very nice to get a little taste of home here in Tokyo. Apparently they do the same thing for Christmas so we might be heading back!

Mmmmmm... stuffing is my favourite part! Sometimes I eat that first and leave the turkey behind!
we had a delicious turkey dinner ourselves and though of you as we stuffed ourselves
your family
Not sure if you know, but KFC is percieved as the traditional Christmas Dinner for Japanese. We can thank KFC marketing. AS least the guys received the chocolate on Valentines day. Remind your wife on that Japanese valentine tradition. hehe..
Glad you were able to find a reasonable holiday facsimile as far as food is concerned.
The stuffing looked GREAT! Love, LOVE <3 <3 stuffing!
Hey, on Christmas go back but bring an itty bitty tree and some Santa Hats....that might make for some awesome holiday photos! Glad you had a great Turkey Day!
That meal looks pretty good!
Dark meat is my favorite.
I'm with you, I love the dark meat as well. My dad almost always had a drumstick with his name on it for the same reason.
Apparently all the KFCs here serve dark meat for their fried chicken. The Japanese like it better.
Score one more point for Japan.
