shochu @ jin's bar, shibuya
Sake and shochu from Jin’s Bar in Shibuya
miso-cheese toasts
Miso-marinated fresh cheese with shizo and on toast, Jin’s Bar
skate jerky
Skate jerky, Jin’s Bar
chicken "gyoza"
Chicken “gyoza” – instead of using a mandu skin, many bars in Tokyo now de-bone the upper part of chicken wings and put the stuffing into the wing itself. Mmm!
organic food store, tokyo
Organic grocery store . . .
herb salad
Salad made from organic greens from organic grocery store
seaweed salad
Seaweed salad with vinegar dressing (also organic)
turnips in miso-orange dressing
Steamed turnips with miso dressing (organic, again) – sweet and just the right touch of saltiness. Who knew turnips could be so delightful?
creamy noodle casserole
Creamy beefy noodle casserole . . .what this American favorite was doing in the Far East, we know not – but we approve heartily!
saury tempura
Saury tempura . . .light and crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside.
okonomiyaki
Okonomiyaki street stall at Ueno Park
saury
These slow-roasted fish on a stick take on an amazing smokey flavor as they cook.
takoyaki stall, ueno park, tokyo
Tokyo takoyaki is serious! Seoul takoyaki stalls are no competition to these guys.

Yes, 500¥ . . . for ddeokpokki!!!
We can’t believe it either.
Tokyo, you truly are the city of dreams. Crazy, expensive, overpriced dreams.
