Sushisei

Sushisei (寿司清) is one of the popular Sushi Bars in Tsukiji Japan. I came here  with my parents on Sunday afternoon. Eating sushi with Japanese sake is my favorite. 

The food is extreamely delicious. The foods in season are sardine, mackerel, bonito, and noodlefish. I tried noodlefish that is sushi topped with ginger and green onions. I was impressed with the quality of food.

TETSU

To be honest, I am a big fan of this noodle shop called TETSU that is located near Roppongi station. It reminds me of my school days  (When I wan in college, TETSU was also located in Kyoto station)  

When I entered the restaurant, the waitress welcomes me with a big smile. I ordered basic Tsukemen（750yen)  As you can see in this photo, it  is totally different styles of Ramen. It is called Tsukemen in Japanese that is cold noodles with soup for dipping. TETSU's soup is made of dried bonito and pork bone.The taste is rich but not greasy. I strongly recommend you to eat here.

Meikyoku Kissa Lion

Meikyoku Kissa Lion is one of the traditional classical music cafe that is located in Shibuya Tokyo. Surprisingly, it was established in 1926.

When I entered the cafe, the Rachmaninov piano concerto was playing. The seat is kind of like a church pew and we can see an enormous pair of speakers in the front.

I ordered black coffee (500yen) and enjoyed listening classical music for two hours. I heard they always welcome listener's request. I will definitely try Rachmaninov again next time.

Unfortunately, conversations are discouraged in this cafe. For this reason, when we want to talk to somebody, we need to use paper writing to communicate.

Oreryu Shio Ramen

The Ramen shop called Oreryu Shio Ramen(My Salt Ramen in English) is located in Nakameguro station. It takes 5 mitues from Shibuya by train.

Indeed, the most popular one is Shio(Salt) Ramen. Soup is basically made from salt and chicken bone. Recently this style has been popular among young women because the taste is so light and easy to eat.

I definitely ordered Shio Ramen and taste was pretty good. The chefs told me that the key for Shio Ramen is using high-quality ingredients because salty taste is not easy to differentiate compared to other Ramen shop that offered Shio Ramen.

Don

After work, I went to Hiyoshi that is one of famous down town areas in Yokohama. There are lot of Japanese students living hear so we can taste the local foods at resonable prices.

When I arriveed at Hiyoshi, there is a good smell coming from East gate. I finally chose the ramen shop called "Don". It takes 3 minites from Hiyoshi station. It has always long line of hungry people waiting.

I orderd basic one "Ramen". As you can see the photo, you can guess this is differnet styles of Ramen. 

It was a big bowl of noodle and it also includes lots of raw garlic on the top. Basically garlic increase s people 's stamina, but unfortunately, after eating, it annoyed many people. I have regretted to get this on Monday.
