We got out and about early and went on some errands.
We also stopped into Starbucks...it's Gingerbread Latte season!
While the US is pumpkin spice-ing...in Japan it's gingerbread latte.
I also love seeing all the different paper cups during this season (I know totally un-ecological, but still fun to see!)
I ordered the Lavender Pork with a small order of rice.
Too bad that egg they served was still cold.
You couldn't taste any lavender (I think they feed the pigs lavender plants).
The pork was super tender.
I got the lowest spice level which was just right for me.
Boy, was he perspiring!
He thought the rice should have been softer.
I was surprised they had served him some slices of avocado in there!
We shared the seasonal fruit crepe which was served with shine muscat grapes, some chestnut pieces, asian pears, kaki (persimmon)...I was bummed with the plating.
And we were both bummed that their coffee was so bad!
Totally stuffed, we walked from Shibuya to Naka-Meguro.
The paste has some katsuo (bonito) in it making it super flavorful...I want to try to re-create this sauce!
I also topped the pasta with the katsuo stick also from the Antenna shop.
The temperature has been dropping especially in the mornings and evenings...hopefully the leaves will change color later this month.

didn't have a chance to try the curry soup in Hokkaido.
too bad about the seasonal crepe. Looked like it had all the fruits I love this time of the year.
and that tomato miso pasta looks so ono! I'm putting that on my shopping list!

we were looking at the other desserts that other people ordered and they had strawberries as well as other fruits too, V!
Take care.

The fruits and whipped cream with the crepe looks so refreshing.
The fruits were delicious Jalna :)

is it just the name that is different or is there a distinct flavor to the gingerbread? I imagine that there has to be an element of molasses in there.
I don't think there was any molasses, but think there is more ginger in the spice mix Rowena, it tastes different from the pumpkin spice drinks I had in the US.
Take care.

Ugh...cold egg, a pet peeve of mine. You gotta get Satoshi to dial it up to '10' Kat! ;o)
dunno about 10, Kirk...lol
Take care.
