Natto Maki Sushi......in one word...WOW!!!

What an experience......not ordering it ever again :beaten:

I don't know how Aya can eat 9 packs of Nattou a week was it...... :sweat:

I mean....the first 2 pieces went down easy....but started to have trouble after. My max is 5 pieces.... :beaten:

9 packs of Nattou a week!!!

She must produce more greenhouse gases than a coal plant. :hehe: Unless she's some sort of super woman. Yeah, that must be it. Aya must smell like a rose. :mrgreen:

i agree with the curry man.

DAIKOKUYA LITTLE TOKYO

that's gotta be one of the best ramen around in SoCal, but of course i am biased. i'd say worth the hour drive to LA, once in awhile.

I was at the local Mitsuwa otday and was surprised to discover that the pork gyoza has less cholesterol than the chicken one... :headscratch: Go figure.


Bought some Meiji Black Chocolate (Dark Chocolate, hence the name) while I was there... Excellent: strong chocolate flavor with just the right sweetness and bitterness. :thumbsup:

Glad I bought two bars. :mrgreen:

Sure did. :thumbsup:

Stunning interior and theme... Not many restaurant interiors themselves can make one salivate uncontrollably. ;)

glass enclosure wall with 56 different types of chocolate....and the gorgeous color of the wood furniture...that deep "chocolate" color...man they really thought about it....i could go in there and gain 12 pounds before i left. :mrgreen:

Without eating a thing. ;)


That place must redefine the term "dining experience."

Heh, after finishing my Meiji Black Chocolate bar, something back from my school days came to mind:

"Once you go Black, you never go back..." ;) :beaten: :thumbsup: :hehe:

Had omurice at J-Town today - pretty good but man, they need to get some nice demiglace sauce like in Lunch Queen instead of tomato sauce :mrgreen:

Seriously, I need to practice making a great demiglace sauce :bonk:

Yup.

But that doesn't mean you can eat a ton of it: it still has quite a bit of fat. :sweat:

Generally, like any other dark, bittersweet chocolate. But better. :thumbsup:

how much is a block of that stuff?

yeah, too much is not a good thing....only in moderation, of course. :hehe:

qilver wrote:how much is a block of that stuff?

It's 99 cents for a bar that's a little larger than a comparable Hershey's bar.

And tastes a whole lot better. :thumbsup:

Of course. :)

just a dollar....not too bad, and much better than hershey's, i gotta try this. even though i am not much into chocolate, more into the rice cracker type snacks.

Yeah, I'm not that big on chocolate, but when it's good stuff, I'll take it. :mrgreen:
