LOL.

More like Taste-O-vision. :drooling:

Not surprisingly, my roast turkey on wheat seems to have lost its allure at the moment. :sweat:

That would be nice.

Okonomiyaki there is pretty good but it's not quite the experience of making it at Gaja in Lomita. Well they can make it for you there if you don't want to mess with the teppan (griddle). I just let my friends cook it (for once), and I eat. :)

All in all, I sure it's better still when your teacher makes it for you. Ask Anime Dad. ;)

Toroniku Shio Ramen (Special Pork Salt Ramen) ~ it was delicious! :drooling:

Santouka Ramen...they have 3 of them...one on the West Side @ Mitsuwa and one in Torrance at the Mitsuwa Food Court and one at the Costa Mesa Mistuwa Food Court.

Dude, the special pork is seriously friekin' good...it is so tender...I have to say it does give the kurobuta chashu at Daikokuya a run for its money.

Edit: Santouka is actually a real, authentic chain of Japanese ramen shops

my so-to-beex-co-worker took me out to a local sushi bar for lunch with her first civil servant paycheck. had some cold sake from hokkaido w/ gold flecks in it.

let's see, i think we had.. yakitori plate which looked like two giant kabobs, tuna x2, yellowtail (very good), albacore (meh), uni x 2, ikura, masago, scallop, sweet shrimp x 2, shrimp tempura roll, anego.

i basically fell asleep at work.

oh yeah, this is basically her second time eating real sushi (not costco or cali roll) and she said she wanted the full xperience.. :hehe:

Nice. :applaud: Sounds like you got the full Aquaman experience by indulging in various creatures of the Deep Blue.

Your mention of sake with gold flecks in it is a first for me...although admittedly I'm not any expert...do you remember what the sake is called? It'd be interesting to note for future reference. :)

Kam.... something... i should clarify, it had 2 gold flecks in it in the shape of a sakura blossom, rather dry.

Oh wow, that's a trip. I'd love to see a picture of that.

When I drank that bottle of Kubota Manju, the restaurant served it in a traditional Japanese kiriko hand-cut glass sake cup.

Here's a photo I took:

Kiriko is the traditional Japanese art of hand cut glassware which originated in Edo.

yeah, i can't find anything about it.. but i do know that the label starts with "Ka******* Gold", short squat frosted glass bottle (school bell shaped), the label is dirty white w/ grey and gold lettering. made in hokkaido. gold colored cap.

ill ask my coworker if it's on the receipt.
