I've become a fan of gyoza, even tho I've only ever eaten one.

And after Tu_triky's mouth watering pics comes dessert (sorry for the crappy quality; took it with my camera phone):

That was the mudpie I made on Monday. The bottom layer is a brownie, followed by coffee ice cream, and an Oreo topping. I still have some leftovers in the freezer if anyone's interested. :P

osaka style gyoza, asparabakon (grilled asparagus wrapped in bacon), small dishes of marinated baby corn, and two big ass mugs of beer.

my friend and i polished those suckers off....we were so spent after being on the plane for about 12 hours from l.a. to tokyo....and then when we arrived we took a nice coach (i.e. bus) shuttle to our hotel...thing was we arrived early evening Friday night in Tokyo! the traffic was atrocious! ppl going out to start their weekend and all. and to make matters worse the bus stops off at several different hotels along it's route....we stayed in Roppongi at the Grand Hyatt which is in a GREAT part of town but it happened to be one of the last hotels on that bus' route since we were staying in central Tokyo. man, after we finally unloaded got to the hotel room, and all we were...we gotta stay up or else the jet lag is seriously going to throw off our sleeping schedule. so we went straight to Shibuya and ended up at the izakaya pictured above....we actually were trying to get to another restaurant but we got lost and ended up there...the food was excellent and the beer was a well relished cold drink after a long, long day of traveling by plane and bus.

yeah it was a bit arduous...but the trip was so incredibly memorable, food not least among the memories, so it was worth it. i'll rap about the hotel elsewhere....

the food there is so sumptuous, flavorful and delightful...it was well worth the trip alone.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing, but forced the thought out of my mind. I didn't work out today.

It is a little rich, but they were into small pieces, so it's not too bad. :)

I'll save you a piece, but you have to hurry up because I may be tempted to eat it myself. :beaten:
