Department Store, Underground - A food lovers heaven

A lot of these 10 story department stores have one floor, usually below street level, that's all about food. These pictures hardly capture a thing, I don't even know why I'm blogging about it. Shameful. I guess I was too busy eating than thinking about taking photos. Anyways, You'd have to see it in person to even begin to understand what I'm talking about.

French pastries...

Sweet, sour, salty...

Jean Paul Gaultier for Evian...Water? Wonder what that's suppose to taste like?

Random food vendor

Prices are pretty steep for a bowl of ramen ($10-$20 USD), but it's worth checking out at least once.
