Sukiyaki

Sukiyaki (すき焼き) @ Miyajima’s Iwaso (岩惣)

#宮島

When you stay at a nicer inn in Japan, dinner is frequently included in the price. At the fancier places the meal is usually a kaiseki (会席料理) affair of mostly seafood. I’m not a big fan of seafood (although I have enjoyed it to some extent in Japan). So when I booked my room at Iwaso I requested a mostly non-seafood dinner, if possible, even though seafood is the norm. To my utter amazement, sukiyaki (my favorite dish anywhere) was part of the meal.

This was my breakfast on my second day in Busan. I think I was in the basement of the Lotte Department Store.

I’m about to head out to Easter brunch at Lark’s in Ashland. Today’s photo is from a couple year’s ago at Jolene’s.

Tonkotsu White Bowl @ Ramen Parlor (San Mateo, California)

About six months ago I enjoyed a fantastic bowl of ramen at Ramen Parlor when I was in the San Francisco Bay Area. Today I went there again and came away a bit disappointed. I asked for mild spice and the bowl was very spicey. If I ever go there again I’ll go with no spice. The spice is on the table so you can add as little as you want rather than risk someone in the back putting way too much on.
