🍴Foodie Report: Nyorosuke Ginza🍴

Posted on by sonokotchi

I enjoyed Kanto Style Hitsumabushi.

Hitsumabushi is one of Unagi (eel) dishes and it’s originated from Nagoya.

Enjoying eel in three ways: 1) eating dry as it is, 2) eating with condiments and 3) eating with condiments and soup as you wish.

I enjoyed it very much because eel is prepared in Kanto Style.

Kanto Style (Tokyo area style) is more flavored or more soy sauce or salty.

I enjoyed it with soup and eel still has thick grilled soy sauce flavor🍴

This restaurant is recommended for eel lovers❣️

Fugu Ryori UMEI (Blowfish Cuisine UMEI)

Posted on by sonokotchi

I enjoyed 14 ways of different preparations of blowfish in a night.

Raw, Grilled, Deep-fried, Boiled, Cooked, you name it or see it.

I also enjoyed cold Japanese sake from Fukushima “Hirotogawa” and Nagano “Sawa no Hana”

AND Hire Zake (Sake with Roasted Blowfish Fin)!

Usually, a cup is simply served; however, at UMEI, serving a Hire Zake was the performance and I enjoyed it.

In addition, blowfish is usually tastes simple and thin; however, this time, blowfish was so meaty.

I was told that a Tora Fugu (Tiger Pufferfish) can be a large as 3 – 4 kg.

OMG, it’s a double size of my Chocolate (my doggy)!

He weights only 2 kg!

Choco is smaller than a Tora Fugu!

Obviously, I enjoyed too much of Fugu (Blowfish) at once and could not finish all such as Takekomi Gohan (Cooked Rice).

They made Onigiri (Rice Ball) for us and brought it back for lunch for the next day. hahaha

Lunch at Ginza Espero

Posted on by sonokotchi

I had a Spanish food for lunch at Ginza Espero.

Each of us can select a dish from 4 categories to customize our own lunch.

The cost efficiency is definitely high and all delicious!

Later I became busy posting about the restaurant and food on Instagram and Twitter (I started recently at both @sonokotchi ) to get a complementary sherry and rum raisins ice cream.

Ow this was worth troubling for.

Well later I noticed my mistake.

The restaurant asked for #銀座エスペロ in Japanese, but I #espero and #ginza separately and in English. Ooops

But I managed to get yummy ice cream. Yeah

Peaceful Town: Matsuzaka, Nishi-Izu

Posted on by sonokotchi

I immediately line this town.

Crab on the street.

Foot Bath

Old fashion building with Namako Kabe (Sea Cucumber Wall).

Nice dinner at Shinsai Kuon.

Be careful with Wasabi Edamame (Wasabi young Soy Beans). It really hit you.

All others are also nice.

There was an antique cashier that can work today.

There is a traditional post.

And this is my BGM for a night.

It’s not far from Tokyo; It takes 3:30 hrs.

It’s worth coming

Quiet Nights in Tokyo

Posted on by sonokotchi

The night of Tokyo is known for its brightness: neons and signboards.

However, government requested restaurants in Tokyo area to close at 8 pm (last order for food and drinks at 7 pm) during the State of Emergency.

The signboard says

“Due to a request for shortening operation hours

19:00 hrs Last Order

20:00 hrs Close“

Irori-Yaki Edokko at Monzen-Nakacho, Tokyo

Tokyo will be quiet for a month.

Hopefully, the State of Emergency would be lifted in one month.

Tokyo is known for a populated place.

Currently, it’s obviously NOT TOKYO that I know of.
