Tonight we enjoyed an omakase sushi dinner with friends. The fish was amazingly fresh and flavorful, and the accompanying saké and beer really complemented the food well. Kind of a perfect meal, actually!
Mariko’s friend is staying over for a few nights and tonight she asked if we could have okonomiyaki, which is just fine with me since it is my #1 favorite food. So happy! I ate so much though… but it was just so delicious. Yolo?
Tonight, I made oyakodon that turned out much better than my last attempt. This time, I used a lot of broth, which made a big difference. I also didn’t overcook the eggs, so everything was very tender. Yum!
We dined at Ramen 512, a delicious ramen restaurant near our home. We ordered three different types of ramen, but the Black Tonkotsu with black garlic oil was the star of the show. It’s so good that we always order it whenever we visit. I can’t wait to get more ramen!
It’s my birthday! (10nineteen) So my dinner request was for my favorite food: okonomiyaki. I ate so much but it was worth it. Yummy! And Mariko made enough for leftovers too. Woohoo!
It’s funny but my family’s go-to birthday dinners are karaage, okonomiyaki, and oyakodon. Definitely not fancy foods, but certainly family-favorites.
