Actual discuss
TBH it’s been a bit arduous for me to weblog these days. The nutshell model is that the weblog panorama has been additional tough… I’ll share extra in an upcoming publish. For now, I’m making an attempt to only get pleasure from a 90s summer season with the women (swimming, curler skating, time with buddies, going to the mall) and reminiscing on our AMAZING journey to Japan and Korea.
We ate SO a lot scrumptious meals that I nonetheless take into consideration day by day, and I needed to share among the highlights in right now’s publish
the place we ate in Tokyo (and gluten-free picks!)
7-11
We had 7-11 each single day.
It’s humorous as a result of the 7-11 within the US leaves…a lot to be desired… however the 7-11s in Japan are filled with superb meals, desserts, snacks and drinks. Sushi, onigiri, pasta, fried hen, sandwiches, smoothies, it was all unbelievable. In fact, I loved the viral drinks (the C1000 is the most effective), a number of tuna onigiri, and all the things muscat flavored.
(when you go, discover these!! And ship me some please lol)
We fell in love with muscat and naturally we stocked up on all the frozen muscat treats, gummies, and mints.
All of us had so many onigiri 🙂 Tuna and mayo was the most effective!
Tsujiki fish market
The fish market is lined with a whole bunch of meals stands and road distributors. The sashimi is the most effective I’ve had in my complete life. We additionally had a container of muscat grapes (so candy and crunchy) and I additionally noticed individuals strolling round with skewers, crab legs, omelets, caramelized candy potatoes, and sushi rolls.
We additionally stumbled upon a hidden gem that had fluffly gluten-free soufle pancakes.
They had been candy and light-weight, and by some means not egg-y in any respect. We needed to return however we didn’t find yourself having time.
Omakase meal at Gluten-free Kushiage Sû
This meal was a prime 5 culinary expertise for me. I went to guide a desk upfront once I was on the lookout for gluten-free dinner choices, but it surely was booked out. I despatched a message on IG asking to be thought of if that they had any last-minute cancelations, and so they reached out the day earlier than to tell us that spots had turn out to be out there!
There have been solely seven seats within the restaurant, and all the things was made contemporary in home by chef Sû.
I began with a crisp and candy glass of glowing sake.
Every little thing is gluten-free and the kushiage consists of skewers. It’s a preferred Japanese dish and all the things is coated in Panko breadcrumbs and fried. Every taste profile was utterly totally different, utilizing varied meats, veggies, fish, and seasonal substances. This felt like an additional particular deal with for P and me, as a result of often we’re not capable of eat fried or crispy issues as a result of… gluten.
Despite the fact that the skewers had been fried, they had been mild, cripspy, not in the least greasy, and extremely flavorful.
A few of the highlights:
This braised beef tendon inside deep-fried tofu in dashi broth
Mackerel marinated in plum vinegar and sabayon sauce
Gluten-free crab cream croquet
The meal completed off with selfmade apple ginger warabi mochi
Chef Sû is actually an artist and so extremely gifted. He doesn’t communicate English, however we used google translate with no probs in any respect. I extremely extremely advocate this expertise when you’re going to Tokyo and have gluten-free buddies or members of the family.
Ginza Senryo
We went for late-night sushi one night and shared platters of rolls, sashimi, salad, pickled veggie, and finest potato salad I’ve had in my life. I had one other glowing sake simply to attempt the totally different choices, you understand? It’s value mentioning right here that all the restaurant servers we encountered had been so pretty; the service was above and past, however particularly at this restaurant. The server was crouched down speaking to the women and was so candy and pleasant.
So inform me pal: what are a few of your all-time favourite trip meals?
My different prime meals are:
– Alinea in Chicago
– The seaside membership in Mykonos
– Zucchini pasta in Sorrento
– Al pastor taco in Mexico with a Mexican coke
