One of the questions I hate being asked most is : what is your hobby?
Everytime when someone ask me that my brain goes into a fumble and I'm just there telling myself " okay you got this, just make up something. Anything will do. Just something"
Usually I'll say ... " yeah... I like baking "
Which is semi-true. I do like baking, and I think I bake quite decently, but I hate washing up, hence... I don't really bake lol.
So to be honest, I don't know if you can call it a hobby because a hobby is something you do enjoying doing, and you do it quite frequently.
To be honest, for the last few years, I've always considered myself hobby-less. Because I'm super boring, and watching tv or streaming variety shows/drama online is not a hobby, it doesn't value add to anything, it is called being a couch potato ):
But over the last year, I've been observing my actions subconsciously and I realised.. Hey, there is really something I enjoy, and it is quite beneficial to both me as well as my friends. And that is instagram surfing for good food :D
People like to tell me " Wah, you're very good! all the restaurants you recommend are all nice! " yeah... just like everything else, I didn't just dream of those places, I actually put aside 15 mins of my life before bedtime to instasurf lol
Nick and I have always loved Izakaya. Previously I've always imagined izakayas to be those hole in the wall establishments and where I decrease my life span by 5-10 years because of all the second hand smoke in there. And all my cillia's suffocating and they can't in a beating motion bring up all the dirt in my lungs anymore :o
SO. I found this Izakaya whilst instasurfing. First day into their website and I was impressed! There's an option for both japanese and english yay. Don't have to try and find familiar chinese characters and make out their meanings anymore :D And the restaurant looks really nice!
AND THE MENU!!!!!!
CHECK IT OUT.
SOLD. I TOLD NICK, THAT'S IT. I'm making a booking.
There's ala carte option as well as Omakase. We went for the ala carte option.
Potato Salad with smoked cheese 850yen
Queen crab, sea urchin and salmon roe 4500yen - THIS DISH IS SO GOOD, YOU HAVE TO ORDER IT
Fresh jumbo oysters from hokkaido topped with jelly1500yen
Just look at how plump and huge the oyster is! Guess what Jelly it is. Smack you if you say it's ponzu jelly, please be more educated ok, now the trend it katsuo daishi jelly. Katsuo is a type of tuna, you may be more familiar I mention bonito flakes. Bonito = katsuo :D
Sashimi 5 types 4900yen
Grilled shitake mushroom 1200yen
Grilled kelp grouper head 3900yen
Akagi beef rump steak from gunma 3900yen
Special Japanese black hair beef
And ending off the meal with Onogi's signature pot rice with lobster 3500yen
This rice is so flavourful I can't even. It's probably my favourite dish of the night!
Together with 3 beer, 1 umeshu and 1 highball, the bill didn't exactly come very cheap;it was 390,000yen. But I assure you, if you wanted to spoil yourself one night in a upmarket izakaya, THIS IS THE ONE RESTAURANT YOU SHOULD GO TO!
