I read the first chapter and kept on quoting lines to Shawn and he had to buy it as well and read it just to shut me up.

And the food at Kura looks fantastic! I was about to ding the oyakodon for being overcooked, but you beat me to it. Tamahide is the place I'd recommend, too (and I heard about it from Food Sake Tokyo as well--great blog and book).<br /><br />The kura ramen looks like a variation on hiyashi chūka, a cold noodle salad that'mamsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290602321779139588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643467301243569244.post-91703030114254417792013-05-21T15:56:06.152+10:002013-05-21T15:56:06.152+10:00I bought the book...you're very convincing!
