Food, food and more food!
I’m guessing that people want to see more food! And actually, we’ve been eating pretty well these last few weeks. We stopped by Ippudo the ramen shop that made news for opening a branch in NYC. Definitely order the spicy miso if you go. We also ordered (kinda on accident, kinda just cuz they were cheap) extra noodles (and meat) for $0.25! This is one of those ramen shops where you can customize your noodles, soft, firm, regular.
Then, the next night we went to a Portuguese restaurant very near our place with some friends. We tried some “green wine” ie “vino verde” as well as the set menu of yummy braised octopus, pork, a kind of Portuguese style paella. It was fun and filling night.
We went to a French bistro in Kagurazaka, the Franco-phile area of Tokyo, for a nice casual Sunday night dinner. Our appetizers included a terrine and foie gras. It was a huge piece of foie gras, very creamy and delicious. Main dishes included fish and boudin sausage.
Next up, Sapporo for the Snow Festival and lots of ramen and seafood!
