Brown Rice Cafe

Here are some places I recently went back to and ate at again!

Above photos are from Brown Rice Cafe in Omotesando. The set I got this time has always been sold out by the time I visit but I finally got to try it. It’s made from all vegetables/tofu and the set is 2100yen including a small dessert and organic tea or coffee. I wish this meal was served warm as it’s getting cold these days.

Ippudo Ramen

Ippudo is having a special collaboration tomato-based ramen that was presented at the Tokyo Ramen Show. You can add toppings like bacon and cheese as well. This is going on for a limited time until 12/31 and it’s worth a try!

Senbikiya

Senbikiya never disappoints. Everything I try from this place is perfection. Here are some desserts we took “to go” and I especially enjoyed the mango cake!

Aren’t these yummy homes Adorable? They are currently on display in the main area of the Yurakucho (Ginza) Muji store. The best part is, you can purchase kits to create your own. They have so many goodies to customize your house and they smell so good… it’s definitely worth a look :) Happy Holidays!

Tokyo Ramen Show 2012

Did any of you visit the Tokyo Ramen Show 2012 that happened between 10/26~11/4? I almost missed this awesome event but got to visit it over the weekend when it was insanely crowded. The line to purchase tickets were so long, there must have been over a thousand people in line but it went by really quickly so no complaints here. It was a dream come true for ramen lovers like myself. Forty different ramen shops from all over Japan (and even from UK) participated so you could try out their tasty ramen. Based on how many people I saw, this event must have been a huge success. I stood in line for one hour to try the ramen from Akita prefecture (which happened to be the most popular booth) and it was delicious!
