Actual discuss

TBH it’s been a bit exhausting for me to weblog these days. The nutshell model is that the weblog panorama has been additional tough… I’ll share extra in an upcoming submit. For now, I’m making an attempt to simply take pleasure in a 90s summer season with the women (swimming, curler skating, time with pals, 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 every day, and I needed to share a few of the highlights in at present’s submit

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 unimaginable. In fact, I loved the viral drinks (the C1000 is one of the best), a number of tuna onigiri, and every little thing muscat flavored.

(in case you 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 avenue distributors. The sashimi is one of the best I’ve had in my whole 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 by some means not egg-y in any respect. We needed 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 e book 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 they’d any last-minute cancelations, and so they reached out the day earlier than to tell us that spots had turn into accessible!

There have been solely seven seats within the restaurant, and every little thing was made contemporary in home by chef Sû.

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

All the things is gluten-free and the kushiage consists of skewers. It’s a preferred Japanese dish and every little thing is coated in Panko breadcrumbs and fried. Every taste profile was utterly totally different, utilizing varied 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 in a position to eat fried or crispy issues as a result of… gluten.

Though 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 home made apple ginger warabi mochi

Chef Sû is actually an artist and so extremely proficient. He doesn’t converse English, however we used google translate with no probs in any respect. I extremely extremely advocate this expertise in case you’re going to Tokyo and have gluten-free pals 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 recognize? It’s price mentioning right here that the entire restaurant servers we encountered have been so pretty; the service was above and past, however particularly at this restaurant. The server was crouched down speaking to the women and was so candy and pleasant.
