Chopsticks

 

Mastering the chopsticks with soba noodles, last year in Nagoya at the Hananoki Restaurant of the University.

Όταν έχεις πάρει πλέον μαύρη ζώνη στα chopsticks, κάνεις και κόλπα με μακαρόνια soba. Πέρσι σαν σήμερα στη Ναγκόγια, στο εστιατόριο του Πανεπιστημίου.

Ramen paradise

Όχι οι "πύλες", αλλά τα "παράθυρα" του παραδείσου ...
Το NoName Ramen δίπλα σε ποταμάκι του Κυότο, για αρχή μιας ξενάγησης σε κάποια από τα καλύτερα ραμενάδικα της Ιαπωνίας.

Το καλλιτεχνικό μπωλ του NoName Ramen.
  












Tengaiten Ramen in Kumamoto


  



Ippudo Ramen in Kyoto. Not top notch, but still good.

Not ramen, but a "cousin of ramen" and equally tasty: udon in Takamatsu (Shikoku)

Gaya


At the fish kushi tavern Gaya at the Chikusa ward of Nagoya. Very nice and pleasant izakaya, but for a gaijin impossible to order  ...



But thanks to the decisive guidance of local friend (and colleague) Shinobu, we get both food and excellent sake ..







Fried fugu tails; fugu can be lethally poisonous due to its tetrodotoxin - therefore, it must be carefully prepared to remove toxic parts and to avoid contaminating the meat.


Traditional sake serving (video)



Japanese lesson ...

Hida beef dinner

With Machida sensei for Hida beef somewhere in Nagoya


Preparation of the grill

What makes Hida beef special is its marbling, which gives the meat incredible tenderness
