The curry is full of spinach.

Why is takoyaki made almost exclusively from wheat flour so delicious?

I've heard about this place! I think I watched a video on it here actually? Not sure, but anyways, this photo is really nice. It's so simple and yet it really conveys the beautiful simplicity of sushi. It's really cool that the restaurant has English services for customers that don't speak Japanese. I think it really goes to show just how strong Japan's omotenashi culture is. The hospitality here is really second to none and it's something I've never experienced outside of Japan. I've gotta check this sushi place out though as it's apparently really good and popular! Another one to add to the list I suppose!

Snow on persimmons

Omurice. Shall I ? become an artist?

Visited Tokyo Skytree. Haven’t been going outside at all lately so we needed a change of pace. Found some really nice Edo Kiriko, at some beef tongue, and tried senbei ice cream for the first time

Tried a new tsuyu again lol. A spicy flavor this time. It’s not as spicy as it looks actually, just the right level of spicy. The tsuyu was 赤から apparently from Nagoya. Goes great with udon too. Tasted really good

Ahhh I love watching these kinds of videos. Getting to see food truck/food stall vendors make food is just so organic. It's nice since I'm not able to travel much these days as well (not that anybody is really). I've never had gohei mochi, let alone heard of it before, but it reminds me of Akita's Kiritanpo. I think the last food truck item I got was ツブ, snail I guess? I didn't even know that until now lol. My girlfriend loved it, I was a bigger fan of the bacon that went with it. Really hoping I can visit another food stall again soon though as I really miss the yakisoba that they make. The yakisoba from the convenience store is alright, but it doesn't really hold a candle to the food stalls ?. Just gonna have to keep waiting until it's okay to travel again though. Until then I'm gonna keep watching videos to stay sane lol!

That's some good lookin' crab right there! Really impressive that this is home made. It looks like something you'd buy at a high-class restaurant! I think I've said it before, but that's another great thing about Japan - It's an island country so there's tons of good seafood to be had and it's prepared better than anywhere else in the world imo. Especially when it comes to crab, you'll find just the most amazing dishes like this. It's been a few years since I threw out some crab pots with my dad but I'd love to do it again, it's always a lot of fun. I've never been crabbing in Japan before so I'm interested to know if it's done differently here somehow. Maybe like different crab pots or methods, etc. The only thing I doubt is different is the waking up early ?. That's gotta be one of the hardest parts about crabbing/fishing for me. Waking up at 3 AM takes some dedication! I guess if you want to catch some delicious snow crab to make a dish like this it's worth it though! That or just buy it at the supermarket I guess lol

I could really go for some yakisoba right about now. I always love going around at festivals and looking for the yakisoba vendors as it's the best festival food imo. I actually haven't had it cooked on teppan in a restaurant in a few years though. I think the last time I did it was at an okonomiyaki restaurant with a bunch of friends, was a lot of fun. This "En" restaurant in Yoyogi looks pretty good though, I'll have to keep an eye out for it or write it down for whenever I'm in the area next. I'm probably going to make some yakisoba this weekend if not sooner though, cuz it sounds pretty good right now?

Tonight’s dinner - Hot pot. Tried a new tsuyu tonight. Tasted really good

Osechi I thought there were many wonderful traditions and cultures in Japan. These are our New Year's dishes. It was such a day that I felt happy about such a tradition that I would make myself someday. I wish you a wonderful year for all Japan.

Man that's a lot of meat! I love yakiniku though so I wouldn't be surprised if I could eat all of it ? I haven't went to a yakiniku restaurant in a while since we just cook it at home in our nabe, but I'd love to go to a yakiniku restaurant again soon. The atmosphere is always really nice and it's nice to get out and have a beer with some friends over some delicious meat. I used to always go to this all-you-can-eat style yakiniku restaurant with friends some years back but with everyone living in different places I haven't been able to do so in a while. I'm pretty sure I've never went to Ushimatsu, but dang does it look good. I'm a huge fan of the toasted bread and meat too, looks tasty! If I'm ever in Minato and looking to splurge I'll have to give this place a visit!

・ ?Web store Hoshino (2nd time) SNS→Instagram( @cksb_hoshino )、Twitter。 Kiyoyu Soy Sauce Hoshino's mail order shop in Nagano Prefecture. This is the first order since the collaboration with Tsukesoba Shonen in Nagano Prefecture. I bought it at @baseec, who often uses it this time. < soba noodles 2 meal set (1900 yen, shipping not included)> The set includes 2 types of noodles, soup with menma, 2 types of char siu, and noodle salt. + Ingredients are kelp water (kelp + boiled and dried), trefoil ? I like the smooth type of kelp water more than mush, so I love Rausu kelp without using gagome or root kelp ?. For niboshi, choose Ibuki Iriko! Prepared by draining the water from the day before. The timing of boiling two types of noodles is difficult ? It's (^^) nice to be able to compare thin noodles and medium thick noodles. The umami of the chicken and the crisp soy sauce are also good! It has a good balance with fat. Menma, char siu, etc. are still the best ? ♂️ Thank you for the delicious feast ^ ^

Not a very long article but I love yakitori! It reminds me of when I was in Hakodate visiting my girlfriend (this was a long time ago) and we went to a yakitori shop. The lady that worked there was really awesome and we were able to talk with her and ended up having a really great time trying all different types of yakitori and having drinks. I definitely prefer yakitori cooked on a teppan and I don't remember if that's how they were cooked at that restaurant but either way it tasted great. We actually ended up going to a snack bar later that night and drinking a bunch with some older ladies and gentlemen and doing karaoke together lol! Was a total blast talking with the locals. One of the older ladies had a giant bottle of Shochu in her purse too and shared most of it with us. Hopefully I can visit Hakodate again soon. That burger restaurant (Lucky Pierrot I think it's called?) was really good too. Apparently it's only in Hakodate though sadly.

?UNITED NOODLE Amenooto (1st time) SNS→ official website, Twitter, Facebook. <お店の情報> It is located in Sano City, which is famous for Sano ramen. However, it is completely different from Sano ramen. Both the exterior and the interior of the store are very stylish. There are also counter and table seats. There is a parking lot in front of the store, but there are different places to stop on weekdays and weekends and holidays. 10 cars (25-29, 35-38) on weekdays and 15 cars (25-38) on weekends and holidays. When there is a wait, there is a waiting board in the store, so fill it out. If you write down the license plate number of the car, they will come to call you. While waiting, I look at the menu and ask for my order first. <Point> (1) Stylish shop. Both the exterior and the inside of the store are very stylish like a café. I think it could be a date or something. (2) Carefully selected menu. The kombu water dipping noodles are very famous, but there is also ramen mixed soba noodles. I also do takeaways. (3) Family fun. The restaurant is large, so you can enjoy it even with small children. < kombu water soy sauce dipped soba (900 yen) and char siu (300 yen)> I wanted ? to try this kombu soba noodle Kombu water is made of gagome kelp, so it is a thickened type! The recommended way to eat it is to add algae salt first and eat only the noodles, so you can (^^) feel the deliciousness of the noodles. It has a good balance with the umami of the chicken and soy sauce, and there is a lot of oil. You can also add lemon to the soup and change the taste! Pork rare, boiled pork hanging char siu has an amazing ? flavor Thank you for the delicious feast ^ ^

? Menya Tenmu (1st time) SNS→ Instagram (@menya.tenmu), Twitter, Ameblo. <お店の情報> A shop that has been indebted to us many times by mail order. Finally first visit to the store! This shop is very famous in the area where you like to boil and dry. There is a parking lot for about 30 cars, and there are front, side, and back of the store. The style is to buy a meal ticket first and line up. Up to 4 people in front of the store, but not in line behind the vending machine? I will line up in the direction of. Souvenirs can also be purchased. There is only a counter in the store. <Point> (1) Boiled and dried love. A restaurant that loved niboshi and was loved for niboshi. This shop is for those who like to boil and dry. (2) Popular queue shops. I visited during the day on a Sunday, so there was a decent line. It's good to have plenty of time. (3) Menu. Basically, there is only boiled dried ramen. There are various ways to use niboshi. There is no large serving, so if it is not enough, toppings, seasoning balls, and replacement balls are used. The limitations change depending on the day. < boiled dried ramen (Yabanibo soy sauce) (980 yen) Niboshi ai (50 yen) > There was a menu that I had never eaten before, but I wanted to eat this ✨ one Yabanibo soy sauce ? that I ate about 5 times at home By the way, I tried topping it with boiled dried love (boiled dried paste)! Oh, this is what happened ? But after all, it is definitely better to eat at the store than at home! The amount of boiled patsun noodles and the strong boiled dried soup are unbearable ?. The satisfying char siu will also be delicious! If you eat it while dissolving the dried paste, the nigaegu will ? ♂️ increase. Thank you for the delicious feast ^ ^
