Actual discuss

TBH it’s been a bit laborious 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 put up. For now, I’m making an attempt to simply take pleasure in a 90s summer time with the women (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 every day, and I wished to share a few of the highlights in at present’s put up

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 wonderful meals, desserts, snacks and drinks. Sushi, onigiri, pasta, fried rooster, sandwiches, smoothies, it was all unimaginable. After all, I loved the viral drinks (the C1000 is the perfect), a number of tuna onigiri, and every little thing muscat flavored.

(if you happen to go, discover these!! And ship me some please lol)

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

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

Tsujiki fish market

The fish market is lined with lots of of meals stands and road distributors. The sashimi is the perfect 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 had been candy and lightweight, and one way or the other 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 prime 5 culinary expertise for me. I went to ebook a desk upfront after I was on the lookout for gluten-free dinner choices, nevertheless it was booked out. I despatched a message on IG asking to be thought of if that they had any last-minute cancelations, they usually reached out the day earlier than to tell us that spots had turn into obtainable!

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

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

Every part is gluten-free and the kushiage consists of skewers. It’s a well-liked Japanese dish and every little thing is coated in Panko breadcrumbs and fried. Every taste profile was fully completely 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 often we’re not capable of eat fried or crispy issues as a result of… gluten.

Despite the fact that the skewers had been fried, they had been gentle, cripspy, not in the slightest degree greasy, and extremely flavorful.

A number of 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 communicate English, however we used google translate with no probs in any respect. I extremely extremely advocate this expertise if you happen to’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 finest potato salad I’ve had in my life. I had one other glowing sake simply to attempt the completely different choices, you recognize? It’s value mentioning right here that all the restaurant servers we encountered had 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.
