Ohroji (Shinjuku)

Came to Shinjuku for showrooming purpose.
Didn't buy anything. Just checked things around.
It was good time, though.

In fact, I felt that I should come more often, particularly to Shinjuku Isetan.
Man's fashion - huge collection and seasonal stuff are there…
Yeah, I will come more often then.

After finishing my errand in that area, looked for a place to eat.
Recalled several past trials that didn't come to succeed.
It was of Ohroji - Tonkatsu over curry bowl.

Or simply "Katsu Curry Don."
Well, this shop called it as "TON DON." Ton is of pork meat.

I gave upon waiting lines twice in the past.
Then, this is 3rd try… and made it finally.





It was quite unique bowl food and definitely loved it.

After posting such photo to my IG, several IG friends told me to check out something else.
Man, I'd better go some other time to check more things out.

Anyhow, here is more information about Ohroji for you:

Be aware that there must be a line that you have to wait for a while to come to your desired dish!

"Bistro Yen" (Kayabacho)

Family dinner time!
Showed up to a popular restaurant called "Bistro Yen" located in Kayabacho area.



Always popular among young adults, particularly female.



No wonder my Chaykin kept smiling rather than confused. Hahaha.



Appetizer. Small but quite rich!



Started with wine as usual.



Selected free-refill of brads with 1,200 yen. That was RIGHT choice we made.



Some amusement?! Hahaha.





Salad comes with colorful appearance.





Another wine



Another bread



Lamb. That should be it. Nothing else.



Still one more round - a piece of bread to finish it all!

More difficult to book a table particularly for lunch.
Though, it is definitely worth it.
Here is some intro from Youtube for ya:



MoonFlower definitely loved it and we will come back for sure.
