Gokumi@Santa Ana ★★★

Amazing Yakitori Omakase w/ Sake Pairing Pop-Up Event. Quality courses with generous portion that included various appetizers, yakitori courses, A5 Takamori Wagyu Beef, ramen, and dessert. More vegetables were integrated this time to balance the meat. I always ask Yakitori Chef Ryo-san to add Okra to their menu, and he did include it this time. Intimate group of 10 people. Ryo-san is an amazing Yakitori Chef. Amazing Sake line up presented by Shota-san from Fifth Taste. $150 per person includes sake pairing. Great deal. Our go-to Yakitori place after visiting Disneyland. Free limited parking in lot.

Menya Sho Honten 麺屋翔 新宿本店@Tokyo Shinjuku ★

Popular Chicken Ramen Restaurant. Was trying to get Ramen with Oyster Soup Stock, but I mixed up the same restaurant name and went to this Chicken Ramen restaurant instead (should have consulted Ramen Shawn beforehand). I tried the White Dan Dan Noodles, which just started 11/18/24, served for a limited time, and limited to 15 bowls per day. I wanted to add an Egg, but I misunderstood the Japanese and ended up adding more noodles.

Dan Dan Noodles with Thick White Chicken Soup Stock 1,300 yen
Limit 15 bowls per day (Starts 11/18/24)



Add 1/2 ramen 100 yen

Ramen Fukutake らーめん福たけ 桜木本店@Tokyo Chiba ★★

Famous Ramen Restaurant in Chiba. Tsukemen soup base was full of umami and a bit salty.  Ebi broth was nice & spicy. Good to drink water with. Small (200 g), Medium (25o g), and Large (300 g) Noodle portions are the all same price. Cozy traditional interior. Could be a wait during popular times.

Fish Broth Tsukemen 900 yen

Spicy Ebi Broth Tsukemen 950 yen
