| - 400th review... I think we'll turn the corner with Ichiza. After reading the reviews for this place, I bookmarked it for a must stop. After the first time, I had to go again on the weekend as well. Killer eats to be had here.
First time in, it was Halloween Eve so everyone was decked out in funky costumes. Oddly, even if it wasn't Halloween, it wouldn't have seemed out of place. There were only two of us so we sat at the counter and ordered up a pitcher of Kirin, Beef Tongue, Buta Kim (stirfried pork with kimchee), Chicken Gizzard, Shishamo (smelt fish), fried chicken, spicy tuna roll, ramen, bacon wrapped mochi, ume chazuke (green tea over rice with pickled plum), and probably a few other things that aren't coming to mind. Everything was excellent, and it was fun tricking my cousin into eating some "weird" stuff. =)
Second time in was saturday night, this time with Emily and my mom-in-law joining us as well. Pretty much ordered all the above plus shishito (twist pepper), sushi chazuke (it was basically a shishamo roll with a dip sauce), the chicken wings, chawanmushi, gyudon (beef bowl), oyakodonburi (chicken omelet rice bowl), natto okra (delicious!), kushi katsu (bite sized pork cutlet on a skewer with onion), and I'm sure I'm missing a few again. Had a great time both times, and I'm sure to be back again next time I'm in town. Pics are posted. =)
