I order the zaru soba for around ¥700. The noodles are served plain and chilled with just a few nori flakes sprinkled on top, with a side of dipping sauce. The sauce in most soba restaurants does, unfortunately, have fish-based dashi as an ingredient, ...
First things first: My-Le (pronounced "mee lay") is far from fancy. It occupies a humble second-floor room in a shabby building on a side street lined with love hotels and cheap taverns, within earshot of the busy JR train lines. You may feel you've ...
First impressions are important, but your final experiences are the ones that linger. And what better memory to take with you as you fly out of Japan than the satisfying savory goodness of a great bowl of ramen? You’re in luck if you’re flying ...
In the evening, the mosquitoes and other bugs make the outdoor tables less enjoyable. But for lunch or a leisurely afternoon tea (as we extolled in this column), it would be hard to find a finer or more stylish spot than this.
This place is lively, but also roomy and comfortable compared with many of Tokyo's hole-in-the-wall kushiage joints. Dengana also has an unusually long list of vegetarian items -- I counted at least 16 options -- including one that's a bit of a rare find: ...
All of Granger's signature dishes are present and correct, including ricotta pancakes, sweet corn fritters, wagyu burgers and the delectable organic scrambled eggs that first put his name on the map. Add to that list a Yokohama original -- Berry Berry Pancakes, served with ...
Araiya has not tampered with its century-old, tried-and-true menu. Choices range from simple donburi rice-bowl lunches to multicourse sukiyaki or shabu shabu dinners. For the duration of the celebrations, though, the new branch has introduced a special set-menu lunch that it calls Kaika Gyu-nabe ...
Our latest favorite watering hole in the city is Pivoya, a small pub that specializes exclusively in beer from the Czech Republic. It's in a quiet, out-of-the-way locale but definitely worth tracking down.
Review excerpt: Barbecue — like ramen, pizza and, indeed, craft beer — is one of those things that a lot of people hold very close to their hearts and have very pronounced opinions on. It's either right or it ain't. Here in Bashamichi, it's definitely ...
80*80 (pronounced Hachimaru-Hachimaru) is a wonderfully funky, friendly diner that flies the flag for healthy living. The name sums up the ethos: 80 percent of all the ingredients it serves in its meals are grown, raised or caught within a radius of 80 km from ...
