Lunch at Pyeongyang Myeonok
Now that I’m back in Korea, maybe because it’s winter, I’ve been craving naengmyeon even more. So I made a point of carving out some time to visit a famous naengmyeon place nearby. Myeonsu (…

It was only a short visit to Korea, but this time I ended up going to a lot of Western restaurants. What I actually crave in Korea is Korean food, but when it comes to a proper, formal get-together, there̵…
There’s one upside to rushing out long-overdue meetup reviews: some diligent person who ate with us has already posted a detailed write-up, so I don’t have to tear my hair out trying to remember wh…
The season has finally come to post the storm of entries I’ve let pile up. It’d be nice to post things ahead of time, or at least regularly, but that was never going to happen -_- Anyway, the week…
For lunch on the last day we headed to a minshuku famous for its crab, but it was their regular day off. -_- So we went straight to a restaurant attached to the nearby fish market instead. The majestic view of…

It’s winter, so I keep craving nabe. A friend came to visit for the first time in a while, so we went to Tenkomori, a chanko nabe place near my home that’s a bit hard to get a reservation at. Otosh…
Suminoe is my favorite bakery in Tokyo. The value for money is unbeatable, and even on taste alone it holds its own against any famous shop. But it is actually a restaurant at heart, and I had always wanted to…
After Akihabara, I headed off to eat at Tokyo Ramen Street, under Tokyo Station. Tokyo Station is the starting point for the Shinkansen lines heading northeast and southwest, so it’s huge and there are c…
