Speaking of Kimono, Here are amazing food of Tokyo.
Green Tea Ice cream with Sweet Red Beans and Green tea. Sweet agave syrup and dried deep sea seaweed chips with sugar. The seaweed portion got me all afraid… Did you know over 50% of food that Japanese eat are from the Ocean?
Fruits and Gonyaku with Green Tea Ice Cream.
Spicy Pork Bone broth Ramen with ground bits of Pork meat with scallions and bean sprouts. $7.00 at Taxi Drivers’ Ramen House in Harajuku. Any restaurants where Taxi drivers frequent, they have fast service and generous portion with very affordable price tag! Just something to experience. It’s a local thing to do. Remember everyone was smoking… Not my ideal situation yet it felt almost nostalgic. I mean who allows smoking indoor these days…?
Samples of various noodle soups greet customers outside of restaurants. Shibuya. No, these are not those plastic models. These are real ones.
I looovvvveee this! Sweet Yam being baked and roasted on the hot and smooth stones.
They know how to bake. I think Japanese bread and pastries are quite amazing. Nothing is too over powering . They are delicious and well balanced. Walnuts and Gorgonzola cheese. Yum and beautiful!
Green Mat Cha (powdered one) shaken with ice chunks and milk. Delicious! No sugar for me…
Boiled eggs, Gonyaku, Pork, Oden being simmered in a bath of ginger and soy broth. This is very iconic flavor of Japan. Sushi and teriyaki is just a tip of iceberg of Japanese Cuisine. Honestly, every time I go to Tokyo, the one thing that excites me the most is the food. It’s a mind blowing experience.
Food Show market at Tokyu Dept, Tokyo. My Must stop in Tokyo. I was politely asked to stop video taping… haha. It only lasts for a minute. This amazing place has everything from fresh fish and groceries to million food vendors make Indian curry to Udon noodles and delicious baked goods, fresh salad, desert and so much more around traditional Bento boxes to world cuisine. And my favorite, best Sakes you just can’t find in NY.
