I totally forgot to tell you our new Special.

We now offer our famous Chicken Teriyaki Donburi only $4.99 (Reg. $7.00)!!!
Special lunch deal on your budget! Don't forget to grab it before we change our mind :-)


Anyway, is everyone ready for Super Bowl Sunday?
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of football. But I love PARTY!
That's a good excuse to get booze from mid-day. So I'll do it.


Well, it's a time to announce Today's Deal.
Let me talk about our Super Friday Lunch Combo!

Beef Hamburger Steak
Hamburger is not only bun-friendly stuff. Try our Home-Made beef patty with fruits sauce.

Chicken Fried Rice
One of the most-popular comfort food in Japan. Every Japanese mom can make this dish to clean up their fridge :-) Of course, ours are NOT made with leftover!

Kimpira Burdock
Shredded burdock and carrot sauteed with soy sauce and a hint of chili pepper. Not too hot, not too salty. Well-balanced healthy "Sozai".

Potato Salad
Do you need describe what it is?
The difference from other Potato Salad is "we use Japanese Mayonnaise!"

Green Salad

Half Noodle


Yes, the price is still the same, only $8.50 !!!

Come and grab them before they've gone!

Feeling Cold ?

Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to chat about my country today.
Let's go straight to Today's Deal!!!

(Really) Snowy Day

I love winter in New York. I love chill, I love dry wind, I love snow...the best moment in winter is my senior dog (9 y.o. Dalmatian) acts like puppy when she finds it's snowy. Running around, rolling arond, munching snow and never afraid to get stomach ache.

I was really happy to wake up this morning. All I could see from my window was SNOW! Ususally it takes long time to prep up for work, but I couldn't wait to step outside. I was really really happy until I hit the street...
Again, I love snow. But I hate this mess!


I have a good idea to beat this fuss.
Have a good lunch!


Today's deal is


Salmon Teriyaki
Now the word "TERIYAKI" became English, you don't need me to describe what it is ;-)

Spanish Mackerel Tatsuta-Age with Vegetable Gravy
Lightly floured and deep fried Spanish Mackerel with vegetable gravy whitch is made with arrowroot starch. This kind of gravy is called "An" in Japanese. Cold-fighting ingredient.

Half Noodle Soup

Green Salad


It's fish combo today. Price is still the same, only $8.50!!!!


Don't be late, it's until 2p.m.

Snowy later ?

Not too bad cold today, but everyone seems to be sick.
Eat citrus fruit, green tea, and take hot tub bath. Of course, don't forget to have hot noodle soup with a lot of chili pepper. That's my mom told me every cold day.

Actually, Tokyo is not so bad as New York. We sometimes have snowy day, but it won't bother our commute. Winter in Tokyo is dry and chappy. I'm from Fujisawa, Kanagawa - Metropolitan Tokyo, I always say "its relationship is like 'New York and New Jersey' " but it seems to be more like Hamptons. Even if it's a cold day, we could have nice and humid breeze from sea.

Japan is basically surrounded by sea. We have a bunch of fresh seafood every day. Even there are some region which doesn't close to the sea, they know how to preserve its freshness without artificial preservatives.

Anyway, I think I talked too much about my hometown. Feeling nostalgic...
But I know what you want me to tell...Today's Deal! Right?


Today's Lunch Combo

Chicken Katsu
Breaded chicken is known as Chicken Cutlet. But our poor pronounciation alter the word without any permision of English speakers - we call it Chicken Katsu.
If you are not familiar with Cutlet, which supposed to be French origin, you can imagine Wiener Schnitzel. Cooking process is not the same, but looks similar. Don't get mad, Austrian & Germans!
Only a huge diffrence is Chicken Katsu is pre-cut because we do use chopsticks. Unfortunately, chopstics cannot be working as knife. So it's already cut in pieces for convenience.

Spinach Oshitashi
Boiled Spinach seasoned with soy sauce and fish broth. Popular dish on Japanese home cooking.

Half Noodle Soup

Green Salad


Crunchy Katsu and crispy salad, sip the soup and munch the spinach.
These Fantastic Four is only $8.50 !!

Don't miss it.
