札幌出張の折、ビジネス仲間とディナーに訪れました。事前に予約しないと入れない程の人気のレストランだけあって、庭園を眺めながらの個室での会食は高級感溢れる雰囲気で、料理も量より質を重視した「極みコース」を選びました。ラム特有の臭みもなく絶品！和牛も柔らかく特製タレが旨味を引き出し、サッポロビールとの相性も抜群。また肉だけでなく、海鮮もあり、最後は北海道の形状をしたプレートに乗せられたデザートま...

Kanagawa Sagamihara-shi Midori-ku Nagatake 2841

人によっては揚げパンやカレ-パンがおいしいと投稿していますが、食パンがおいしいです。ト-ストせずサンドイッチに使えば、きめ細かく柔らかでほんのり甘い毎日使いのパン。焼き肉挟んだりジャム塗ってもおいしい。高級有名店のパンは高くて毎食とはいかないがオギノパンなら財布に優しい。難点は遠いです。

Osaka Osakashi Chuou-ku Souemonchou 7-18

The Dotonbori Annex of the famous tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen restaurant Ichiran. The retro Showa fashioned store is adorned with tables where you can enjoy a conversation with friends or family over a bowl of ramen. Their tonkotsu broth is a closely guarded secret refined over many years. Come taste the unique flavor of their noodles paired with a secret blend of chili pepper in their tonkotsu ramen. Ichiran's famous solo counter spaces are also available for the single customer.

One of the best ramen that we’ve ever tried. The ramen has a chewy texture, the broth was flavourful, the meat was tender, and the egg was boiled to perfection.

Located in 2-chome, Obiya-machi, Kochi City, Hirome Market is a large food market containing food stalls and other small shops. The large number of food stalls includes places offering local Tosa dishes, as well as a wide range of other cuisine including standard Japanese food, Chinese food, Italian food, Indian food, etc. Diners order their food from the food stalls and then take it to eat in the shared central dining area.

This is funky place with lots of small food stalls selling just about any type of food, from seafood, to meat to noodles, and a bunch of local fried stuff. We have tried 4-5 places and spent about 3...

Tokyo Chiyoda-ku Marunouchi 1-9-1 Tokyo Station No.1 street B1

This is a concentration of restaurants specializing in ramen located on First Avenue Tokyo Station, just after heading out from JR Tokyo Station’s Yaesu Underground Central Exit. Tokyo Ramen Street opened in 2009 with four shops including the famous Osaki (in Tokyo) tsukemen shop Rokurinsha that consistently attracts long lines. After that, it welcomed new shops from Tokyo’s famous restaurants, and is growing as an established gourmet spot where one can try various kinds of ramen. Businessmen as well as Japanese tourists and people on business trips visit as well.

While all delicious (but any ramen in Japan is delicious), this area is definitely much smaller than I expected. In reality it is only a small handful of ramen restaurants in one area, I am more...

テレビの番組で、外国人シェフが選ぶ和菓子ランキングで出町ふたばの豆大福が2位入っていたので、京都に行った時に訪れました。テレビでは、売り切れて買えないこともあるとの事でしたが、コロナの移動制限が解除された直後の金曜の昼頃ですが、10人程の列で10分ほど待ちましたが買えました。豆餅、黒豆大福など購入し、夜に頂きましたが、あんこが甘過ぎず、柔らかな触感で美味しくいただきました。賞味期限は1日のため、地...

Tokyo Minato-ku Kitaoyama 2-1-15

The first Japanese location of this popular New York hamburger chain, standing in the Meijijingu Gaien park in the Kita-Aoyama area of Minato City, Tokyo. The shop’s patties are all Angus beef, a high grade brand beef which is fed special fodder. People love Shake Shack’s juicy burgers. The shop’s hearty hot dogs, made with plump wieners, and its original frozen custard are also popular. Diners can enjoy a relaxing meal on the shop’s open and airy terrace overlooking the beautiful nearby avenue of gingko trees.

I dropped by with my girlfriend after a walk. The place was packed but the seats were well-distanced from each other. The shake was pretty good and sold in a wide assortment of flavors. There were...

快晴の日でしたがロープウェイで標高1100mの山頂につくとモヤがかかっていて、ぼんやりとした景色しか見えませんでした。それでも琵琶湖を一望できる景色は素晴らしかったです。水盤が琵琶湖と一体化するようにデザインされていて美しいです。レストランとカフェがありましたが土産物店はありませんでした。お土産はロープウェイの下の駅で少しだけ売っていました。
Mutekiya

Gourmet / Alcohol

Tokyo Toshima-ku Minamikebukuro 1-17-1

A ramen restaurant in Ikebukuro that only has counter seating.

The restaurant also serves novel ramen varieties like the crab miso noodles, made with crab miso shipped direct from Sakaiminato in Tottori; the carefully devised karamen spicy noodles, and the mabodofu-like mazesoba. Another nice thing about Mutekiya is its large selection of toppings, such as ajitama marinated soft-boiled eggs and fried garlic.
