Valentine's Day is actually a thing in Japan, though with a twist: it's the day when women give men chocolates. I know. A month later, we have White Day (why stop at one made up holiday? And now some uncomfortable moments brought to you by the sweets aisle at the convenience store. Speaking of racial politics. That's a chocolate melon pan. I actually think there should be more Blac...

The line starts early, and the pressure to rush is strong. Resist. The master at work in his micro-kitchen. The result is bright, without adding any sweetness. Has a ramen ever tasted this new without being gimmicky? The shop's teeny-tiny ticket machine- if this was New York, somebody would have walked off with it by now. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Girl Who Ate Tokyo. A blog about food and culture. Well, some culture. Friday, June 24, 2011. Little Baum Tree: Cake on a Stick. First, apologies for this blurry photo- my hands tremble in the presence of portable cake. It's not a cake pop, which, while a great idea, is a little to little for me. No, this corndog-esque delight is actually baumkuchen. And then there's the package, which I know is speaking directly to me:. Little Baum Tree. A little Baumkuchen made especially for you.". Yes Yes it is.

We were in the Roppongi Hills shopping complex, minding our own business, actually planning a modest picnic of our own (rice balls, edamame, no big). I saw some food trucks, so I did the stroll-by, just sort of sniffing the air. It turned out the om-rice. Truck (omelet filled with rice- I know! Check out the hip daddy-o waiting on his chicken and om-rice. The list goes on!

There is no way to do this at home- it has to be a big, sketchy grill. Then the toys. Son of Z. talked his way into a ray-gun that lights up and makes a very loud noise that is the precise sound of parental buyer's remorse. Mini Z. went for the traditional mask. I can't believe we beat New York to this. Then ...

And yet, sometimes when you are flitting between shelves of handmade notebooks and adorable tea sets, you still want a big bowl of ramen.

Dreamy, dreamy, dreamy. Campanelle with mushrooms and grilled foie gras. I know foie gras is terribly cruel to produce, but must it be so? In the land of pampered Kobe cattle, couldn't we find a way to fatten a duck or goose that's more fun for the animal? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

You can get them hot in a paper bag on a corner in New York or outside the kabuki theater in Ginza. There are cones of marrons glacee. In sweet shops, along with the standard montblanc. Above were so creamy and sweet all the way through, but without the slightest stickiness. Table sugar! This is Japan's spin on things- a wagashi. Tuesday, December 7, 2010.
