Life and Living in Tokyo, Japan. Saturday, August 15, 2015. Tonari no Shokudo [Kujira So] / となりの食堂「くじら荘」. Last week as I was trying to decide where to eat for lunch, I remembered this small cafe recently opened in our neighborhood. It is called Tonari no Shokudo [Kujira So]. Their specialities are hotdogs. I'm not sure if I would really call these hotdogs though. The sausages aren't in the buns, more like just topped on top of the buns. I ordered their chili dog, with a coke. Chili Dog / チリドッグ. Time for ...

Ern in Tokyo: Nissin Ippudo Hakata Tonkotsu / 日清 一風堂 博多とんこつ
http://tokyoern.blogspot.com/2010/01/nissin-ippudo-hakata-tonkotsu.html
Life and Living in Tokyo, Japan. Thursday, January 21, 2010. Nissin Ippudo Hakata Tonkotsu / 日清 一風堂 博多とんこつ. You gotta love a country that takes its instant noodles so seriously. And with a lot of well-known ramen shops also getting in on the act, sometimes its hard to choose which one to try. Today, I decided to go with the Hakata Tonkotsu produced by Ippudo. I haven't been to the actual ramen shop but it's almost always listed in the top 10 in any ramen book guide. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Life and Living in Tokyo, Japan. Thursday, May 14, 2015. Golden Week Adventures 2015 Day 2 (Part 4) Dinner and Ramen / ゴルデンウィークアドベンチャー 2015年 二日目 (パート4)夕食とラーメン. 青森駅に戻って次の目的は夕飯だ!幸男が最初に提案したのは自分でホタテ釣りが出来るところ。行って見たら超混んでた。次覗いてみたのはいろんな小さな店が入ってる暗い路地の奥。怪しいすぎてそこも却下。また青森駅の近くに屋台村みたなところもあって、最終的にはそこに決めました。外はちょっと寒いので、和酒バール「あだし」に決定。 Yep, this place looks promising. や、ここはやばくない?良い雰囲気だ。 Don't you just love the presentation? Ginger miso oden, an Aomori favorite. エビとプチトマトのベーコン巻! 超美味しい! Aji no Sapporo / 味の札幌. We left Hirosaki...

Life and Living in Tokyo, Japan. Saturday, November 29, 2014. Grill and Bar [Brooklyn Diner] / グリール & バー 「ブルックリン・ダイナー」. A few weeks ago when I went to Komazawa to check out a ramen shop called [666], on my way home I came across a cafe that perked my interest. I saw on their menu Jamaican jerk chicken and pulled pork sandwiches. I promised myself I would check this place out as well and here I am having lunch. The name of the place is the [Brooklyn Diner].

Life and Living in Tokyo, Japan. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Day Trip to Mitakesan in Okutama (Part 3) / 奥多摩、御岳山日帰り旅行 (パート3). Time for lunch in Okutama.

Life and Living in Tokyo, Japan. Sunday, December 14, 2014. A Walk around Ningyocho and Nihonbashi / 人形町から日本橋の散歩. After having lunch at the ramen shop in Ningyocho, we decided to walk to Nihonbashi to check out the new shopping complex called Coredo. Here is a rapidly disppearing sight from the streets of Tokyo. Vending machines selling beer and spirits. You can still find them in front of sake shops though. 段々消えてゆく光景だ。酒の自動販売機。まだ酒屋の前ならありますが、ほかは中々目に入りません。 Walking past a sake shop. A Sumida River cruise al...
