I will post my everyday experiences, mostly food and drink related in Japan, and hopefully you enjoy it.

Anyway, just an ask because I’ve put so much blood, sweat, and tears, and money into this thing for the last year of my life and would love your participation. It’s all free and I promise it’s fun. https://fantasyshowdown.com

Muddy’s at Okurayama station Kanagawa. Zeppelin cover, classic rock cover, and J-Rock. Had to leave before the 4th band, but not bad for ¥3500 admission, and all you can eat and drink, but super small place.

Saturday self-jam with the looper. I don’t have a pedal board, I’ve got a pedal towel 😂

はは、いやいや。あれは昨夜食べたやつだよ。でも、写真のほとんどはここ数年のものなんだ。

Last night for dinner went to one of my favorite late night, after drinking Chinese ramen joints, Yoshi-Shonin in Akasaka. Shoyu wantanmen with chashu. Always tasty and they have a uniquely flavored chili oil on the table, so eventually added a bunch of that midway through. This place never gets old and they’ve got a huge selection. The simple shoyu broth in this one is addictive.

Happy Friday everyone! It’s 18:15 in Tokyo and I’m drinking my pregame quadruple Ardbeg (Kakuyasu was out of Laphroaig) before heading to the pub. Cheers!

Chicken eggs. Lots of eggs eaten here, and often raw, so they are fresh. Also, they don’t wash the egg’s coating off, so they can be stored room temp, but everyone still puts them in the fridge :)

Chicken based ramen from Torioh Keisuke in Akihabara. That’s a whole chicken leg in there. Also this one has the black spicy oil topping because I can never resist adding some excitement!

This is an amazing fully loaded ramen from Oreryu Shio Ramen Kagurazaka. If I remember correctly, this monstrosity is called 男盛りがバチ ramen, which is garlic butter cheese ramen which includes all the toppings in the bowl, including fried chicken. There’s also some gyoza in the background with a bunch of toppings on that as well. I was not flying solo, so that gyoza was shared. I promise! This place has a large selection and I’m planning a re-visit soon to try some others.

Well nobody would call me skinny, but in my defense, it was a long, hot summer and I didn’t leave the air con much. I did formerly run marathons, and I think it’s time for me to get back out there. The first two weeks are always the hardest.

Ha ha. All are ramen I have eaten, and they are my photos, but they were eaten over the last few years. I will throw in a new picture when I do eat ramen but I’m definitely not going every day.

Ushio ramen near Awajicho has one of my favorite tori paitan style ramen which comes with the signature pork wrapped asparagus stick and fried onion bits. I’m not shy about toppings so I also added chashu, duck, and extra negi on this one. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area.

Saw a great lineup last night at 大塚MEETS. There’s another show tonight with a new lineup at Shibuya Lush produced by the Tokyo underground files.

No ramen today. Instead, Ethiopian doro wat and bean salad from Safari in Akasaka. I ordered extra spicy as always and it will make you sweat. This place is amazing if you’re looking for a change. Doro wat is chicken stewed with onions and butter (niter kibbeh) and a ton of amazing Ethiopian spices (berbere) for a unique flavor. The bean salad is mainly lentils and onions with a light vinegar dressing. It’s great to balance the heat.

This is another of my regular joints. Semakacchan Hakata Ramen in Uchikanda. Chashu men with additional negi, a spicy miso ball, and egg. Unfortunately kaedama costs a little extra at this place but you can buy half or full size. I’ll never turn down Hakata tonkotsu!

Wantanmen with extra chashu from Kaotan in Akasaka. Great chashu and a nice simple broth with oniony flavor. Love this one. They’ve got other Chinese style dishes as well. Was on my regular lunch list back when I was working in the area.
