Food Fridays #16
Last week we had eaten tacos and yakitori, but the night was young and we were cold so we decided to move to a BBQ place we had passed by earlier. Time for some good ole American BBQ, or Japanese BBQ in an American looking izakaya.
先週、タコスや焼鳥を食べましたが、夜は若くて寒かったので、早く通過したBBQの場所に移動することに決めました。 アメリカの居酒屋でオレのアメリカンバーベキュー、または日本のバーベキューのための時間。
We were seated at the counter looking at the cooks again. I was starting to see a strange pattern in Japan, about 75% of the places we go to they sit up in front of the cooks, even though the majority of the tables were available. I am totally fine with it, but I am wondering what their motivations were.
私たちはカウンターに座って料理人をもう一度見ていた。 私は日本の奇妙なパターンを見始めていました。私たちが行く場所の約75%は、大部分のテーブルが利用可能であったにもかかわらず、料理人の前に座っています。 私はそれで大丈夫ですが、彼らの動機が何であるか疑問に思っています。
As we sat down we both looked at each outer and laughed because in the counter were precious rocks, like amethyst, rose quartz, sodalite and others. The owner was obviously a collector.
私たちが座っていたときに、カウンターではアメジスト、バラの石英、ソーダライトなどの貴重な岩石だったので、私たちはそれぞれ外側を見て笑った。 所有者は明らかにコレクターでした。
Anyway, we went a bit crazy here, starting of course with beer! I was stoked they had Sam Adams, an easy to drink lager. My wife had a shochu cocktail. Then we ordered meat and a bunch of unhealthy stuff like pizza, onion rings and pickled vegetables!

The food was actually really good. The steak skewer was delicious. The onion rings were really light and the batter was only an accessory to the onion. It added just a bit of flavor and were very easy to eat. The pizza was surprisingly delicious too. Of course my wife loved the pickled vegetables and forced me to eat some, meh they were ok.
食べ物は実際には本当に良かった。 ステーキの串はおいしかったです。 タマネギのリングは本当に軽く、バッターはタマネギのアクセサリーだけだった。 それはちょっとした味を加え、とても食べやすいものでした。 ピザは驚くほど美味しかったです。 もちろん、私の妻は野菜を大好きにして、私に何かを食べさせました。彼らは大丈夫でした。
Alas all good things must come to an end though. We had our fill and needed to do some walking before eating anything else. How fortunate it was that Iseya, the famous yaktori place we were going to was on the other side of town!
悲しいことに、良いものはすべて終わらなければならない。 私たちは一杯を食べ、何かを食べる前に歩き回る必要がありました。 私たちが行っていた有名なヤッコリの場所であるイセヤが町の向こう側にあったのは、とても幸運でした!
On the way to Iseya we found the Uniqlo, a 7 freaking story Uniqlo! That's a lot of Uniqlo.
イゼヤへ向かう途中、私たちはUniqloを見つけました。 それはUniqloの多くです。
As we got closer we could smell the yakitori in the air and our appetites returned, kinda.
私たちが近づくにつれ、空気中の焼き鳥のにおいがすることがあり、食欲は戻った。
The place was full, but since there were only 2 of us we were seated quickly. First order, beer! Then we each ordered 2 yakitori. I played it safe with negi and chicken meat balls, brains, gonads and other useless parts, while my wife ordered livers and some other weird parts Americans would never eat unless they were in hot dogs.
場所はいっぱいでしたが、2人しかいなかったので、すぐに座っていました。 一番最初に、ビール! それから2個の焼鳥を注文しました。 私はネギと鶏肉のボール、脳、生殖腺、その他の無駄な部分で安全に遊んだ。私の妻は肝臓や肝臓の犬には、ホットドッグにいなければ決して食べない奇妙な部分を注文した。
I must say for all the hype I was expecting more. Iseya is a vary famous yakitori place with a long history, but I felt the yakitori was lacking. It has long been a spot for people to come to after work or after a day at the park that it faces for many decades. The yakitori are really cheap, many under $1 and they have notoriously large shumai. If you are just looking for some cheap yakitori and beer this is place, but after all the delicious food we ate at the beginning of the night I think I would stick to eating on the other side of the tracks.
私がもっと期待していた誇大宣伝のために言わなければならない。 長い歴史を持つ有名な焼き鳥の場所は様々ですが、焼き鳥が欠けていると感じました。 それは長い間、人々が何十年も前から仕事をしていたり、公園で一日を過ごしたりしてきた場所でした。 焼き鳥は本当に安く、1ドル以下の人も多く、彼らは大量のシュマイを持っています。 安っぽい焼き鳥やビールを探しているだけなら、これが場所ですが、夜の始めに食べたおいしい食べ物のすべての後、私はトラックの反対側で食べることに固執すると思います。

いせや!懐かしい!
I used to live in Kichijoji area over a decade ago and sometimes stopped by that yakitori place to get a pack of yakitori and beer before heading to Inokashira park. Iseya used to be right next to the park at that time.
Damn now I wanna eat Yakitori....
This Iseya was right there overlooking the park. I think there is another branch, maybe when they did the remodel?
Kichijoji is an awesome area. How did you like living there? There seemed to be so much going on.
I liked Kichijoji area so much so it was hard to move from there. I’d been there for 6 years? And that was my first crib in Tokyo!
I understand. My second place in Tokyo was Shimokitazawa. Moving away from there was hard.
It is amazing they allow to sit in front of cooks.
Great, Thanx for the strange information.
It's quite nice to watch them cook and chat. Thanks.
Thank you for taking part in this months #culturevulture challenge. Good Luck.

焼き鳥にビール!美味しいですよね^^
ビールと食べ物はおいしいです!🤣
I remember the first time I went with some work colleagues to a Japanese restaurant in Chicago. The cook came down to our table and just cooked there in front of us. He spoke away to us and was very funny. I really enjoy the experience.
@anmeitheal sounds like Teppan Yaki. Those guys are all entertainers. Great cooks as well. Did he do the spit egg over fried rice? Flip the shrimp in someone's shirt?
I can't remember now, only that I closed my eyes and ate whatever was given to me :)
You do not want to do that in Japan! They will fee you whale or horse or turtle! lol. Actually horse is pretty good.
