Cheapass is in Tokyo and reporting live, we arrived last night and already have found lots of things to report, but do to little time and a great deal eats the reporting will be limited. With that said I have found the quintessential cute over load.
While traveling to Akihabara, know as Tokyo’s electronic center, stubble into a small and slick shop selling mochi ice cream (www.mochicream.com) offering 24 flavors and price ranging from 140yen –180yen (at the moment conversion rate is 1 dollars = 103.99yen). It was hard trying only 2 mochi, but I had to save room for other random eats while strolling about town, chocolate and green tea where the 2 chosen ice cream. The two little morsels were great, inside was red and green beans mixed with the chosen flavor and in the very center were a tiny dollop of white ice cream (which I suspect is vanilla).

Cool to the touch but wished had more ice cream more so then the red bean mix.
