Shokkan is located In the basement floor of a random building in Shibuya but let me tell you this place was awesome. We went during lunch time and we knew it would be good as soon as we noticed the wait outside the door before it even opened and how it was completely packed within a few minutes after opening. This Japanese restaurant serves three options during lunch: Tsukemen, Today’s Fish Set, or Today’s Meat Set (each for 1000yen).

I highly recommend their Tsukemen. The quality is quite high considering that it’s not officially a tsukemen or ramen house. The tsukemen comes in 3 different flavors: Soy, Sesame Miso, or Curry. We ordered the soy and I really loved it. It’s nice that it comes with all sorts of toppings and also includes a choice of rice or rice crackers so you can eat it as a porridge at the end. Their other dish is a Fish of the day plate and it was Shrimp and Eggplant on the day I visited. It was good as well but the tsukemen was the highlight. Looks like they have this restaurant at Soramachi too with a different menu. Check it out!

Tokyo Disneyland has pretty decent food overall but I think this time around we had some of the best yet. We ate at “Grandma Sara’s Kitchen” near Splash Mountain and had their special set for 1480yen. It’s Omurice with baked chicken (two different kinds of sauce with pumpkin and broccoli), a choice between soup or salad, caramel pumpkin cake, and a drink of your choice. The portion was a little small but it’s surprisingly quite good. It’s nice to be able to get decent meals like this at a theme park. However, this menu is a limited time special until October 31st, 2012 so make sure to get it before then :)

Happy early Halloween!

I recently went to Tokyo Disneyland and thought I’d share this very festive Halloween-themed park with you. It was beautifully decorated and I loved everything about it. I really enjoy how many people get dressed up and go all out when they go to Tokyo Disneyland. There’s so much eye candy and it’s fun to just sit down and people watch to see everyone’s fun outfits.

It’s finally fall season here in Tokyo (Summer was very long this year and brutally hot) so it’s the perfect time to visit the park right now. Hope you’ll get a chance to visit during this Halloween season as well.

This Chinese restaurant in Jiyugaoka has amazing chicken broth salt noodles (鶏白湯塩そば) which are similar to a golden chicken-broth ramen soup! The soup is delicious and it’s great that they give you just a little bit of rice so you can enjoy it as a porridge at the end.

Two of us ordered the chicken broth salt noodles (鶏白湯塩そば) lunch set which is a 3-course meal and the other two ordered the Shark-fin (フカヒレ姿煮) lunch special that is a 5-course meal.

– The Chicken Broth Salt Noodles Lunch set includes a steamed vegetable plate, main dish, and a dessert for 1500yen.
– The Shark-fin lunch special includes: a steamed vegitable plate, shrimp mayo salad, main dish, half sized chicken broth salt noodles, and a dessert for 3000yen.

I highly recommend making reservations in advance if you plan to come here. This place also currently happens to be the highest rated restaurant on a Japanese food review site in Jiyugaoka and I can see why.
