Umi no Sijuso… from Otaru (Hokkaido)
it was delicious.

Was in the area and had a craving for cochinita pibil. Found La Paz. Presentation kind of sucked, but it was decent taste-wise. I doubt I’ll be back. Ha!

Chef Dave Anderson’s famous red beet tartare on top of a warm tofu cheese crouton and thin slices of English cucumber, surrounded by a balsamic glace. Pretty and so freaking delicious (and this is coming from someone who detests beets)!
Checking out the latest mailer from Mitsuwa, I noticed that they’re having a special fair (5/13/10 to 5/23/10) to celebrate products by House Foods. And when I glimpsed a picture of Ukon No Chikara with a starburst “new” caption, I got in my car and made a dash to the market. Up until now, these were not available anywhere in the United States.
Oh… for those not familiar with this drink, it’s an EXCELLENT hangover cure or preventer (if you drink it before your night on the town). One of these saved my life when I was in Tokyo.
I’m not sure if it will be a mainstay at Mitsuwa or is just part of the “House Fair.” In either case, at $15 for a 6-pack, I think I’ll go back to stock up.

ME took time out of her “busy schedule” and wanted to try something different and sort of new. I had Germany on my mind, so that’s what we did. Ordered the mixed German cold cut on a french roll, small side of potato salad, and a wiener würstchen…
It was my first time here and I really liked the place. It was small and staffed by three women – had a true mom and pop feel. It reminded me of the trips I took with my pops to Alpine Village, where we’d pick up cold cuts and sauerkraut, and while waiting for our order, the nice people there would give me a wiener würstchen to hold me over..
I’ll be back here for sure. Cheers!

Today was a gloomy day, which put me in the mood for a cup of Onion Soup Gratinée. I wouldn’t say it’s the best French onion soup that I’ve ever had, but it’s worth a repeat visit.
