Food update 1

1.There’s usually food catered in for lunch at work, but Thursdays are Sushi Day!  I guess that’s today. LAST Thursday was special though, because it was not only Sushi Day, it was MAGURO day.  And boy, did they bring on the maguro. There were sushi chef types carving it up and handing you pieces, as well as bowls of maguro chirashi waiting for happy office folk.  The whole cafe was noticeably abuzz.

2. Went back to Sora no Niwa, a place near the office that makes their own tofu, and does it in creative ways. This shot is of a sesame tofu that had a thick, creamy feel to it, to the point that I almost wanted to put it on toast.  It was backed up by a very avocado-ey avocado tofu.  The sesame came back in fried form later in the night, with dipping salts and a sauce and that was quite tasty as well.

3. I’ve been feeling a little out of it for the past couple of days.  Maybe I ate something weird, maybe I was just rushing around too much…not sure. But in times like this, a diet of ginger ale and rice porridge/moi/ochazuke seems just the thing.  So no, I’m not into white wine at breakfast now. The bug seems to be fading – hopefully tomorrow puts me right.  Went to a really good ochazuke place in the Tokyu dept. store basement yesterday.  I’ll definitely be heading back once it gets colder (or if I fail to get better soon).
