Morning Udon near Tsukiji
It seems that Macchinesti Coffee is dead, or at least no longer has a storefront. That’s a bummer. It was a nice cafe to eat at. Zoka is still kicking, although I was unlucky that they were out of stock of Espresso Paladino. Althoough their Sumatra and Sulawesi blends make nice brewed coffee, they don’t generate the thick, creamy crema of Espresso Paladino. I have to really push it through a fine grind to get a reasonable pull.
Blue Lug has changed locations. The new shop is huge, including a workshop garage, and an annex where they are manufacturing their in-house bags. The prices are still sticker-shockers. I didn’t buy anything except a Selle Anatomica saddle.
Dark tempura at Dote no Iseya
Dote no Iseya (1-9-2 Nihon-Zutsumi, Taito-ku) is still serving incredible dark tempura.
Horaiya near Ueno is still serving perfectly-cooked tonkatsu.
Since we stayed nearby in Ginza/Hibiya, we made it to Daiwa Sushi-ya at Tsukiji for sushi breakfast twice.
Chef at Tunahachi
The light tempura everyone thinks of for tempura we enjoyed again at Tunahachi in Shinjuku. Last time we were here, Luke was one or two years old and kept trying to drive his finger through the paper walls.
