Akamaru Modern Ramen at Ippudo



I recall finding out about this great ramen restaurant from Japan that opened in New York City. I had always wondered if the food would taste the same between the two countries? This was finally my chance to put the random meals to the test. I had actually been to New York City and my first meal there was at Ippudo. Now for today's random meal of the day we have the Akamaru Modern Ramen in Tokyo Japan. While I actually had two different variations between the two cities and it is not a direct comparison, I do prefer the Akamaru Modern Ramen as it is more pleasing to my taste palate.

Found at Ippudo in Tokyo, Japan.

Soft Boiled Egg and Chicken Meatball Curry at Coco Ichibanya



We have for our random meal of the day a small order of the Soft Boiled Egg and Chicken Meatball Curry. With the time zone change from Los Angeles to Tokyo, we happen to wake up a bit early. The thing is that there is not a lot of choices for an early breakfast. It seems that most breakfast spots open 10am at the earliest so we got creative and went to a 24 hour restaurant and tried to order something that resembles breakfast. Success!

Found at Coco Ichibanya in Tokyo, Japan.
