Gravy Gyoza in Shimokitazawa, in all honesty, looks a bit like a student dive, and it's certainly got the prices to match. Open until 3am, it screams cheap and cheerful beer hall - where you can both start and end your evening. But I bet all the gravy in these gyoza, you won't be disappointed. Today the store had actually run out of their famous yakigyoza (pan-fried juicy ones) as we'd turned up at 11.30pm, so we settled for ma-la sauce boiled, which were not spicy enough; plain boiled, which were great with my own mix of soy sauce add vinegar; and then deep-fried prawn chilli mayo - no gravy needed when that sweet mayonnaise gives away to the crisp shell as you take a bite. Add some avocado tomato salad and some spicy bean sprouts and you can call it a balanced meal 🤷🏽‍♀️ As they say in Japanese - this is a store where the kospa (cost-performance) is great 👌

Ridiculously delicious meat pie from 昼のふくろうwho were selling at the market at Ebisu Garden Place (Yebisu Marche). Swipe for the inside of the most popular apple pie cream cheese! Apparently they're not selling there again until autumn so maybe it's time to head to Yamanashi! Google hirunofukurou.com to find out more -- they also sell coffee!

Last of Arossa lunches before they switch to dinner-only on April 25th. Today shio-koji mackerel, wasabi leaf, asparagus tagliolini. Crab avocado cream fettuccine. 👌👌👌

Finally visited d.47 Shokudo on the 8th floor of Hikarie in Shibuya. It's part of an effort to promote Japan's 47 prefectures. The menu isn't vast - a few set meals (teishoku) and some à la carte items from 6pm onwards. This basically means healthy, seasonal dishes from around Japan with an incredible view of the ultra-modern Shibuya that's undergoing large-scale redevelopment. I tucked into the set meal from Kochi in the south of Shikoku. Absolutely delicious was the "Inaka-zushi" (countryside sushi) which is made with vegtable and egg toppings, and enhanced with beautifully fragrant yuzu vinegar. This was accompanied by a miso soup, with yuzu vinegar to change the taste part way through, sweet potato tempura, sweet red bean yokan, two slices of pomelo, and the jaw-droppingly good, please-gimme-more yellowtail sashimi with garlic miso 😍 My friend wolfed his way through the Shimane teishoku with a dried, salted then grilled fish. Yum yum yum.

It's gyoza time. Jumbo garlic gyoza from Ichien Honten, Kichijoji. With convenient shelf on the street for standing and eating.

The coffee that gives the Biz to our Stream 🙌
