In its luxurious form, the Japanese lunch box is a collection of various forms of protein. And this was a pretty luxurious form. I think I counted 5 types of protein, but let me reflect. I’ve developed a theory on Healthy Japanese Food over the years, mainly triggered by the fact that it’s often difficult […]

Shahi Dawat, Kanda (シャヒ・ダワット)
I reached several resolutions over lunch today, my friends. The first is that I need to do something more interesting with these posts. Daily mediocre lunches are getting tiring for me, so I shudder to think what they’re like for you. I pledge that I will include at least one thing in every post that […]

Kanzan Ramen, Kanda (神山)
This was recommended some time ago, and it’s taken me all the way up to the hottest part of the year to stop in and try it. I’m pleased to say I had the same reaction as Lost Squirrel – it’s all about the pork. Now, he lists BBQ as one of his favorite foods, […]

Le Jardin, Yoga
Setagaya Art Museum is good for a visit. It’s a healthy walk away from Yoga, and that healthy walk, if done properly on the smaller streets and not on the 6-lane monsters that cut through the area, will be almost unconscionably pleasant. It will include cobbled streets with architectural details at every corner, water features, […]

Torisuzu, Ningyocho (とり鈴)
It’s probably not a good idea to read too much into names, but in this case I can’t help it. What do you make of a restaurant called ‘Chicken Bell’? This seemed funnier when I was there, but now that I think about it, this is probably a combination of the tendency to name a […]
Marushige, Kanda (丸重)
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, pork. Today felt like a vegetable day, then a meat day, and finally, by the time I left the office, I knew it was going to be a Fried Meat day. And since I somewhat disdain lesser fried meats like mince-katsu, that usually means tonkatsu (not that it’s that often). After wavering a little […]

U-miya, Yaesu (う~みや)
Notable today is…the heat. I definitely feel like I’m melting after walking back from lunch. Still, I like the fact that lunch can include 20 or 30 minutes of walking. It’s good to burn off some lunch, and excellent practice should one be approaching a period in one’s life where one will need to walk […]

Asaji, Otemachi
haha, if you have to mess something up, do it right! Depending on your definitions, I may have eaten today at a place that I went to before – when it was in a different building and had a different menu and decor entirely. Well, I’ll chalk that up to experience. The basement-dwellers of the […]

Submersion brings familiarity, and with familiarity comes not contempt, but a regard for the small details […]

Kametomi, Kanda (亀とみ)
Eel in the sky keeps on turningI don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow – Fleishman, Schon, Valery The Kanda Eel Showdown kicks off today with a pleasant, middle-of-the-road choice. Were I to be a completist about lunch destinations (heavens!), I’d point out that this place occupies a little sliver of real estate right between Sunaba […]
