It totally pays to watch television in the morning. A couple weeks ago, I was watching a morning show before work and they were running a segment on fancy ice creams — one of them included Babbi, a genuine Italian gelato place in my neighborhood.

P and I went looking for it yesterday and found it within a 5-7 minute walking distance from our house. It’s a little expensive — about 600 yen for a piccolo, which comes with two small scoops of your choice. I chose creme caramel and tiramisu. P had tiramisu and pistachio. The cone was also very good as befits a gelateria that started out as a cone manufacturer.

It was totally my idea of bliss. It’s a good thing that it takes a little effort to get there because if it were any closer, I’d have to double my weekly running quota.
