So, I was looking through pictures for my second "food installment" and I found a series of pics from a fairly normal dinner that I have with my co-worker Richard.
About once a week (or so) one or the other of us will say - "so what are your plans tonight?" Meaning, I feel like having some beers and going to Raku Show (kind of sounds like 'rack shaw'). So more often then not we go!
Japan has this thing called Nomihodai (all-you-can) which is where you pay a set amount $10-12 and you can drink as much of whatever you want off of a particular menu for 1 or 2 hours depending on the place. RS has a 1200 yen (about $12) - 2 hour Nomihodai...awesome!
Since Richard has been a regular there for so long, we always get a little room, and they pop their head in and say hello and usually "nomihodai? two? beer? ok!" In Japanese of course - haha. Then we look at the menu just in case there is something new and exciting and then order what we always order, with sometimes a little something extra - but the basics are below. I will not butcher the beautiful language and try to write it out in Japanese, but here's is what they are in English. :)
In no particular order...
 |
| Black vinegar (balsamic) fried chicken. MY FAVORITE THING. Also because I can eat the "salad" it comes on. :) |
 |
| Gobo chips - I honestly don't know another word for these - they are a root vegetable of some sort and pretty darn good. |
 |
| Ever thought about frying a piece of cheese wrapped in bacon on a stick?? YOU SHOULD!!! |
 |
| Black sesame chicken wings - so delicious. They have spicy ones and "salt" ones too, but these are the best. |
SO that's any given work night! Add some beer or sake (sometimes grapefruit sours) and you've got a good meal! Maybe sometime I'll do a drink post! haha... If you are hungry and/or jealous after all of that - you should be!! These are the treats I get in exchange for trying things like Kangaroo jerky and horse! :)
More food to come....
