I visited Nakano(map) where we used to live. It's located next to Shinjuku that is the hub of transport to north-west Japan. So it's not metropolitan-like like Shinjuku but very convenient to live in.
This suburb is known by comic theaters and otaku ("otaku" means computer/anime/comic geeks) culture. There is a popular second-hand camera store that is always crowded with otaku men as well.
The atmosphere is full of local color and alive. You can see a lot of old houses, little old shops where you can find cheap food and clothes, and many people from non-Japanese to old locals
We decided to walk to Shinjuku after lunch at a small nice Thai restaurant in Nakano. This trip reminded me of many memories I had here.
Today, I made the salad with an egg sauce for lunch. It might be a good idea for sandwich as well.
Ingredients;
lettuce
carrot
egg
mayonnaise
salt, pepper
dried herbs
1- Cut the lettuce and carrot (finely) and stir.
2- Crush the boiled egg and mix with some mayonnaise, salt and dried herbs.
3- Put 2 on 1, then powder some pepper on top.
