May Tokyo Eats!!

I have decided to do what I normally do over several posts in one go for the month of May, 2015, all the eating outs, the drinking, the sushi, the soft-served ice creams, etc. mostly due to time constraints.

In chronological order and limiting to one photo only per occasion, here we go.

“Kitchen Stage” @ Shinjuku Isetan’s basement food floor where different chefs are featured every couple of weeks. I forget which Italian chef it was when I went…

At my friend Etsuko’s. Her spare ribs cooked in OJ.

@ Spiral in Shibuya

@ Tatemori, a gourmet yakitori joint, in Ginza. Chicken (and sea urchin) sushi as a starter.

The wine bar after Tatemori. Forget the name… Still in Ginza.

@ Y Cucina in Kagurazaka

More Italian in Kagurazaka. @ Lastricato. Horse meat carpaccio.

Strawberry sorbet @ New York Deli @ Tokyu Departmentstore, Main Branch, in Shibuya

Spare ribs @ Martiniburger in Kagurazaka.

Chocolate (light) soft-serve @ Lindt Chocolat Cafe in Kitasenju

My sushi joint, Kozasa, in Daizawa

Lamb burger @ The Oak Door @ Grand Hyatt Tokyo. Tiny burger!!

@ Bunten Nakamura Shokudo in Akasaka

Tuna tuna tuna @ Asahizushi @ Tokyu Toyoko Department Store

Belated Mother’s Day dinner @ La Blanche in Shibuya

The so-called “coffee jelly” @ Cafe Veloce, a chain coffee shop near me. I only wanted the soft-serve but they don’t sell it that way.

“Hyuganatsu” flavored soft-serve @ Shinjuku Miyazaki Konne

@ Cheval de Hyotan in Ikebukuro

@ Bistrot la Cucina, a misleadingly named Italian restaurant in Shibuya to which I went with my friend after seeing the film The Trip to Italy.

@ A la Cave in Shirokanedai. Too dark to take any food photos.

@ Antica Vineria Giuliano in Shirokanedai

Mango supposedly made from fresh mango. It is “soft-served” but the texture is very much like Italian gelato which is not my preference. At a fruit shop inside the Odakyu Department Store in Shinjuku.

The best experience: Cheval de Hyotan in Ikebukuro, a somewhat unlikely location, managed by a couple, the wife being the chef.
