The Bellwood

Went here because of a recommendation from a bartender in Hiroshima (unfortunately the bartender in Tokyo did not hear of the bar in Hiroshima, Bar Alegre).

They serve omakase with a reservation. Would definitely be down to try in the future.

First, they started off mentioning their menu (which is a book) has six “courses”. First thought I had to participate in each one, but did not.

Second, they pair everything with something to eat! Incredible.

First drink was called “Rob is in Town!”. (Ingredients are below, but basically a twist to a Rob Roy).

Second drink was a twist of a Sazerac (mango sorbet, absinthe, sweet wine, smoky whisky). Also look at the shape of this ice cube. It’s an octagon! And it has an actual mango sorbet on top of it.

Kaisen Misakikou Shibuya Higashiguchi-Shop

So we found this place near our hotel in Shibuya while walking to find something to eat. It’s a conveyor belt sushi place. Overall, great food, and very fast.

Got a sashimi plate, a nigiri plate, and of course a highball. Would recommend coming back here again.

PS. Could not find this on Google maps (it is on Apple Maps though).

Ichiran

We went to this ramen place after a long night out at Womb.

Overall, the ramen was great, and the middle thickness is what I wanted. Would definitely go back here again.

Izobachi Misoramen

We went to this place for lunch in Shibuya.

They have a limited menu, and they only accept cash (you have to pay before you get seated also).

I got a highball (of course), and a miso ramen with extra pork and stir fried vegetables (which were basically just stir fried bean sprouts). The noodles seemed home made, but they were the thicker kind (not the thinner ones).

Leaving the restaurant I would have said I would have came back. But I did have a stomach issue later on. So now not sure.

Katsumidori Seibu Shibuya

We came to this place as our first meal in Shibuya (it was a recommendation from a friend).

Although it is conveyor belt sushi, there weren’t too many items on the conveyor belt (you mainly ordered from an iPad).

Among the items I got: sashimi, nigiri, salmon, tuna, California rolls, highballs.

Would definitely come back to this place again.

PS. It was a bit tricky to find since it was in a mall (you take an elevator up to some floor, and then it’s a 30 second walk. Also note the line seemed pretty long, but it went by fast, like 30 minutes).
