Nihonshu

July 16, 2009 · 16 comments

Nihonshu 日本酒, or sake as most people know it, is found in most bars and restaurants in Japan.

I generally lean towards atsukan 熱燗 which is hot sake but last night at Sushi in Shibuya I went for the cold stuff, served in a masu which is a wooden, box-like cup.

Whenever it’s served in a masu it’s also accompanied with a saucer underneath as it’s tradition to overfill the cup, great value for money.

Sashimi In Shibuya

June 23, 2009 · 20 comments

I went for a bite to eat with a friend last night a Sashimi place in Dogenzaka.

I generally go the easy options when i eat raw fish … Nigiri Sushi and nothing too adventerous at that.  Last night i wasn`t in charge of the menu so it was a bit out of my comfort zone.

Sashimi

Despite my initial hesitation i gave everything a go and enjoyed most of it.

Rina Akiyama 秋山 莉奈 is this weeks J-Babe Of The Week for no other reason that she occasionally eats at my local sushi bar in Yoyogi …. well, that and because she’s gorgeous.

Not so sure how practical this bikini is …. but does it need to be? No.
