okinawa restaurant in ebisu
2006.05.26 - 16:05
for an incomprehensible reason (my japanese not that good), no okinawa
food was served on the day we went to this hidden restaurant (behind
the yamanote line train track, accessible from ebisu station west
exit).
soba making art – matsugen ebisu

"when did you start making soba?"
"when i was 19"
he was so good that it was worth watching every movement of his hands for good 5 minutes.
(b)old style soba

while Matsugen serves many kinds of japanese dishes, i felt its soba
was better than any other places i’ve been. pictured is the soba made
in ‘dumpling’ style. according to the local, this is the old style of
eating soba before the noodle making skill developed.
ni-go-ri, unfiltered sake at Matsugen
2006.05.14 - 17:05
i learned the japanese word for unfiltered sake today – ni-go-ri.
thought it was shirozake, but its for kids (esp for girls’ day), made
out of mirin. in korean its ‘mak-gul-li’ or ‘dong-dong-ju’. in terms
of taste, unfiltered sake is not too sophisticated but mild and a
little on the sweet side with a home-made feel to it.
marinated and slightly grilled cow tongue

not a big fan of meat, especially non-standard parts, but tongue was
ok – at least its better than liver.
a stylish korean restaurant in ebisu (close to ebisu west exit).
