Since I was up bright and early and couldn't stand the smell of my apt, I left to go grab a bowl at Toride (麺の坊 砦) in Shinsen.
Toride is known for their Tonkotsu Ramen, but today they had a special Shoyu Ramen and my hunger locked on to it.
It was actually pretty nice. It had a sweet, yet rustic taste to it. Or is that cuz everything just tastes like smoke? Haha.
Anyhow, back at basa, after a little prep, I quickly downed Nobo's omiage from his recent trip to Taiwan. Thanks Nobo!
Hey look! Bassanova in Setagaya Life Magazine!
Okay, I've been craving some good AMERICAN barbecue lately and I remembered a friend telling me about Hatos Bar in Nakameguro so I went to go check it out. Craft beer and barbecue...now this is my kind of place.
Chili fries!!
Baby back ribs!!!
Mac and cheese!!!
Craving definitely satisfied! Seriously, if you too are yearning for some good bbq in Tokyo, then GO to Hatos Bar! And tell them Keizo sent ya!
Any normal person probably would have gone home and slept after a heavenly meal like the one above, but Nobo and I are definitely not normal. Yup, we decided to wash all that bbq down with a bowl from Dyurumen Buta-aji (づゅる麺 豚あじ 恵比寿神社前) in Ebisu.
Nobo got the NBS48 ramen, which is supposedly made with 48g of niboshi. It tasted a lot like...niboshi.
I got the Tokusei Tsukemen.
What was I thinking?
Cheese senbei!!!
What was I thinking?
Heya Keizo!
ReplyDeleteIn your posts you can definitely see the Japanese in you as in you always have room for something more even after a big food fest.
I like it!
Hatos Bar noted.
ReplyDeleteBut let me tell you about the superb BBQ and Japanese craftbeer at the Baird Bashamichi Taproom in Yokohama. I wound up there a few nights last December (on one of those evenings, I bumped into Lord Yuske Sato, the beer manager of Dry-Dock Shimbashi, where I did not get to this time).
Its BBQ is very good. Obtain its frequent drinker punch card for savings on Baird craftbeers. (It accepts credit cards too.)
