After visiting Asakusa temple, we took the train down to Ueno.
This stall is just right opposite Ueno Train Station and this was where we settled our breakfast.
Instead of ordering your food verbally, there was a vending machine just at the entrance when you pulled open the main door where you just selected the food you like and inserted coins or dollars.
(Coins are very handy in Japan although most of the vending machines accept dollar note. They do not round off the cents to the 2ND decimal, unlike SG.)
Back to the ordering of food, a ticket was issued from the machine after inserting coins. We went inside and the chief / boss would get the ticket from you and start to prepare.
This is what I ordered. Rice with beef toppings, a bowl of miso soup and a cup of green tea. The miso soup tasted good but different from the bean paste that I had elsewhere and there were two little pinkish "thing" which I had no idea what was it. Now, for the main dish, the beef was good, chewy, tender and not overcooked.
By the way, this set of meal cost me 590yen (S$8.26). I found the price okay because the food was very nice and most importantly, it was very, very filling for me.
After that, we walked to Ueno Park to do some sakura viewing. Hehehe
