Actual discuss

TBH it’s been a bit arduous for me to weblog these days. The nutshell model is that the weblog panorama has been further tough… I’ll share extra in an upcoming publish. For now, I’m making an attempt to only get pleasure from a 90s summer season with the ladies (swimming, curler skating, time with mates, going to the mall) and reminiscing on our AMAZING trip to Japan and Korea.

We ate SO a lot scrumptious meals that I nonetheless take into consideration day by day, and I wished to share a number of the highlights in at present’s publish

the place we ate in Tokyo (and gluten-free picks!)

7-11

We had 7-11 each single day.

It’s humorous as a result of the 7-11 within the US leaves…a lot to be desired… however the 7-11s in Japan are filled with superb meals, desserts, snacks and drinks. Sushi, onigiri, pasta, fried rooster, sandwiches, smoothies, it was all unbelievable. In fact, I loved the viral drinks (the C1000 is one of the best), a number of tuna onigiri, and the whole lot muscat flavored.

(for those who go, discover these!! And ship me some please lol)

We fell in love with muscat and naturally we stocked up on the entire frozen muscat treats, gummies, and mints.

All of us had so many onigiri 🙂 Tuna and mayo was one of the best!

Tsujiki fish market

The fish market is lined with a whole lot of meals stands and road distributors. The sashimi is one of the best I’ve had in my complete life. We additionally had a container of muscat grapes (so candy and crunchy) and I additionally noticed folks strolling round with skewers, crab legs, omelets, caramelized candy potatoes, and sushi rolls.

We additionally stumbled upon a hidden gem that had fluffly gluten-free soufle pancakes.

They have been candy and lightweight, and someway not egg-y in any respect. We wished to return however we didn’t find yourself having time.

Omakase meal at Gluten-free Kushiage Sû

This meal was a high 5 culinary expertise for me. I went to guide a desk prematurely after I was on the lookout for gluten-free dinner choices, but it surely was booked out. I despatched a message on IG asking to be thought of if that they had any last-minute cancelations, and so they reached out the day earlier than to tell us that spots had turn out to be accessible!

There have been solely seven seats within the restaurant, and the whole lot was made recent in home by chef Sû.

I began with a crisp and candy glass of glowing sake.

Every thing is gluten-free and the kushiage consists of skewers. It’s a preferred Japanese dish and the whole lot is coated in Panko breadcrumbs and fried. Every taste profile was fully totally different, utilizing numerous meats, veggies, fish, and seasonal elements. This felt like an additional particular deal with for P and me, as a result of normally we’re not capable of eat fried or crispy issues as a result of… gluten.

Regardless that the skewers have been fried, they have been mild, cripspy, not in the slightest degree greasy, and extremely flavorful.

Among the highlights:

This braised beef tendon inside deep-fried tofu in dashi broth

Mackerel marinated in plum vinegar and sabayon sauce

Gluten-free crab cream croquet

The meal completed off with do-it-yourself apple ginger warabi mochi

Chef Sû is really an artist and so extremely gifted. He doesn’t converse English, however we used google translate with no probs in any respect. I extremely extremely advocate this expertise for those who’re going to Tokyo and have gluten-free mates or relations.

Ginza Senryo

We went for late-night sushi one night and shared platters of rolls, sashimi, salad, pickled veggie, and greatest potato salad I’ve had in my life. I had one other glowing sake simply to strive the totally different choices, you already know? It’s value mentioning right here that the entire restaurant servers we encountered have been so beautiful; the service was above and past, however particularly at this restaurant. The server was crouched down speaking to the ladies and was so candy and pleasant.
