Here's something for a lazy Labor Day. I hope you all had a nice, relaxing long weekend.
Yakitori Taisho:
Still a favorite of mine. I recently had the pleasure of dining here with with Kirbie and her Hubby, it had been too darn long. I think we spent most of the time catching up….so I know I got no photos. And after all, I do have quite the collection, of posts on the place. In fact, the last time we travelled to Japan, it was to be about mostly Ramen and Yakitori for the Missus. And in spite of trying half a dozen places…..well….Taisho would have been a solid number 3. That says a lot. My only recent complaint about the place…….well, they've taken chicken karaage off the menu!
Not much new here……then having tried the quail, which was quite good.
Try it if they have it on the menu.
It's great to see that other Food Bloggers like Jinxi are enjoying Taisho and trying new things like akahimo.

Wa Dining Okan:
Met up with some friends; Eric and Maria. And while I managed to miss a couple of dishes….this was a nice meal as always.
Man, Okan has sure come a long way since they opened. And it was nice to share a meal with new friends.

Izakaya Sakura:
On the other end of the spectrum. My last visit to Sakura left something to be desired. The Ebi Kakiage Udon was good as always….but the older woman who works here was just plain rude.
She's always been a bit perfunctory; but this time very short and rather rude, to all the customers. Everyone has a bad day; but when you're in the service industry, you need to minimize those. We'll see what happens the next time…..I think it'll be a while…I visit.

Iron Pig Alehouse:
**** Iron Pig has closed
The Missus said I needed to up my veggie intake; so it was off to Iron Pig for the "Man Salad".
This time around; the rib tips were really dry and stringy; but those smoked wings were good as always.
