It was kind of blazing.
I chose this place for Satoshi.
I thought he would enjoy the atmosphere and food.
He ordered the daily special which was pork stir fry...he enjoyed his meal also drank all his miso soup.
Avocado natto, tamagoyaki(omelette) and mugimeshi (barley rice).
The tamagoyaki surprised me because I had envisioned a tightly rolled one, but this was still cooked perfectly, no runny areas.
The food is tasty and service is quick, not sure if we'll be back but it was nice to try this place.
One thing we wanted to see was the huge 3D cat on top of the Cross Space Building.
Sorry my video is not too good. (turn your sound down if you are viewing this at work)
I think to make the cat look “real” and have more depth you need to shoot in the morning when the sun isn't directly hitting the screen.
They were preparing for their Otori no ichi...an event held on the Chinese calendar's day of the Rooster.
You will see many kumade (literally bear hands) rakes at this event for purchase… to help you "rake" in good fortune.
From top left: Mame daifuku (black beans studded mochi filled with chunky sweet bean paste), Kuri daifuku (chestnut paste and a whole chestnut)...matcha dango (matcha paste) , yomogi (mugwort dango topped with chunky sweet bean paste), kuri dango (chestnut paste and whole chestnuts), ume myoga just like eating sushi...pickled myoga and ume paste...savory and delicious!
I'm glad we tried these and look forward to trying their other seasonal items.
It was good to be out and about.

I think it's so cool that you can "head out to Shinjuku" just like *snap*.
Happy that you guys can go out on excursions again.
I watched Midnight Diner and was trying to see if I could recognize that area but couldn't. Is that place marked as the opening shot like how Godzilla was on the signs in Shibuya?

it’s the opening when the taxi goes under the train tracks, V. I should’ve shot it from the other side of the street…it isn’t marked but godzilla is marked
Take care

Take care
