Incense

I remember the Sensoji Temple in Tokyo from my last visit. In those days it was full of monks, today it's full of tourists.

Burning the incense is supposed to cure your ills. It certainly cleared my headache,

Afterwards I went off in search of a proper sushi experience.

Having your own chef is quite intimidating but does mean you can double check what you are eating. The only thing I drew a line at was eating a live langoustine (I'm not Bear Grylls). The seasoning was  subtle and involved lime juice and chives. Quite often I was asked not to use soy sauce as it overwhelmed the subtle flavour of the fish.
