im a creature of habit. so jen from oh my omiyage had to coerce me into this one ... which turned out to be the best thing ever! i was feeling a little "meh" that day with a tickle at the back of my throat but she convinced me that there is nothing a hot bowl of chicken soup can't fix. and she was right!
open concept kitchen! i quite like sitting at the bar and watching the chefs buzz around!
mum's pick - nabe udon
the servings are MASSIVE!
the husband loves his katsu curry.
and i dug into my meal (typical...) before we could get a picture. but my favorite is kitsune udon , the classic one with one GIANT piece of sweet tofu skin.
last "TGIF" meal of the year!! :)
the husband being a good sport.
he is not crazy about this place cos i always send him to stand in line for a spot. (they get popular at dinnertime!) plus soupy noodles is not his kinda thing. but everytime i get to pick a restaurant, this is my go-to place!!

yum yumm!! i haven't been here for awhile because once the cold weather hit, there's always such a long line! they gave daniel a bib? haha i always wonder why some people get bibs and some people don't. i got a bib once at a ramen shop, and i thought it was because my top was too low cut... but that can't be it if daniel got one too!!
ReplyDeleteOh! The husband and I are so in love with this place! We had it at Haneda airport when we arrived and when we left! We even bought 8 uncooked packs to bring back! We love the cold Udon best!
ReplyDeletethe place looks delicious!! I wish I can try it out!
ReplyDeletetsk tsk. i was giggling over the word 'nabe' the whole time.
ReplyDeleteand i will make justin don the yukata and take a picture of him.

Hi there - will be in Tokyo shortly and would love to visit this restaurant. Can you describe roughly where it is to me, or is there a map somewhere? The address means nothing to me!
ReplyDelete@Nick Vasey
ReplyDeletehi nick! you can find a map here
otherwise, from the roppongi crossing, walk towards don quixote. the restaurant is right before don quixote, across from macdonalds! hard to miss!
good luck! :)
