I really like this dessert because it’s simple, refreshing, and not overly sweet. The coffee jelly is soft and jiggly, and I serve it with a creamy milk sauce on top.

It’s such a nice dessert if you love coffee but want something cold instead of another cup. 😄

JOC’s potato salad recipe is good. I tweaked it and added horseradish.

The soup was very rich and creamy with strong oyster taste 🥰 Also had gyoza and rice on side lol. So much food 😂

We randomly walked into a great neighborhood cafe next to our Airbnb in Sumida and were genuinely touched by the hospitality and the food. The owner makes several ingredients from scratch. My favorite by far was the sourdough—it has a great flavor and is made with flour from Kyoto. He serves pour-over coffee and has several beans you can try; I chose a dark roast and was very satisfied. He also pulls old-school espressos and lattes. Lastly, he was incredibly welcoming and shared some local Sumida history with us. I love interactions like these, and although there is a language barrier, if you try to use a little Japanese, shop owners always seem to appreciate it!

It’s already seasoned, and the yolk is really soft. Simple but surprisingly good.

Hello there!

I've recently been interested in trying to create my own Shiokara at home after tasting it at a restaurant here in central Texas. I made an attempt with some store bought whole Loliga, and the liver size was not adequate enough to fully coat the strips of the hood that I cured in salt.

I've made an attempt to run around and search some of my local fish markets and stores here in town, and I don't believe they'd be able to source me the correct species of squid needed to make this dish. Would anyone on here have ideas, or experiences they could share in the process of trying to attain a whole squid online?

Any input I could get would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!

After some try, I managed to book a table for 2 at 19.30 local time! Don’t stop believin guys

What did it cost? I mean it’s literally 4 am…

One of my favorite simple konbini foods.
Soft bread and lots of egg filling.

The Tsukimi Muffin is a limited-time autumn breakfast menu item from McDonald's Japan. The name "Tsukimi" means "moon-viewing," which comes from the perfectly round fried egg that symbolizes the full autumn moon. It consists of a sausage patty, a round egg, and smoked bacon layered between toasted English muffins, all topped with a signature creamy tomato sauce.

Yude tamago, cha siu, onion, garlic and beansprouts! Tastier than it looks. For my pregnant cravings. Thank you husband!
