Dinner in Yokohama

Posted By: Craig Sosonko on 16 June 2008 in Food, Japan

Had dinner last night with Natsuko and her family including her sister who is in town from Philadelphia. We went to one of our favorite placed called Tsuki (月 Moon). Here are a few shots of our dinner.

So Watermelons don’t all cost $100 in Japan. This was the first yellow Watermelon I have ever had as well as the first Watermelon I have had in Japan. It actually wasn’t all that good though. Roughly $3 for a quarter Melon, a bit high compared to the states but not exactly the mythical $100 Watermelon pricetag.

After 8 months we had our first Pizza delivered. Not a bad pizza but pretty damn expensive which is why I haven’t had any till now. Around $30 for this Large pie, at least it did have lots of toppings. I still miss a good NY slice though.

This was at a steak place, but I had the pork. I’ll get a pick of the steak next time.

Mie Ramen

Probably the best Ramen I have had so far in Japan. Waited on line outside for about 10 minutes before noon to enjoy this. Too bad is so far far away and I can’t go back anytime soon.

Been really busy lately and it has been a long time since I posted here. Some time ago Natsuko and I spent the weekend at her friends house in Suzuka, Mie. It was a nice relaxing weekend filled with Fishing, mountains, homemade pizza, homemade donuts and sushi.

We randomly found an excellent restaurant in Shimokitazawa. Great Sashimi and freaky giant beans!
