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 further tough… I’ll share extra in an upcoming put up. For now, I’m attempting to simply get pleasure from a 90s summer time with the ladies (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 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 full of superb 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 one of the best), a number of tuna onigiri, and all the things muscat flavored.

(in the event 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 bunch 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 had been candy and lightweight, and in some way 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 prime 5 culinary expertise for me. I went to guide a desk prematurely once 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, they usually reached out the day earlier than to tell us that spots had change into out there!

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

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

Every little thing is gluten-free and the kushiage consists of skewers. It’s a well-liked Japanese dish and all the things is coated in Panko breadcrumbs and fried. Every taste profile was utterly totally different, utilizing varied meats, veggies, fish, and seasonal substances. 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 had been fried, they had been gentle, cripspy, not in the slightest degree greasy, and extremely flavorful.

A few 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 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 suggest this expertise in the event 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 attempt the totally different choices, you realize? It’s price mentioning right here that the entire 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 ladies and was so candy and pleasant.
