並 玉子 お新香セット

今日は近所の創作日本料理さんでランチ。

どれも一口たべると、何かしら驚かされる味の一工夫がおしゃれ。

Lunch at this cute Japanese izakaya place in brooklyn : )

Very creative flavors and presentation.

Continuation of the series, again, a list of useful words, including explanations.

厳禁・げんきん・strictly prohibited

片道・かたみち・one way (in the case of a ticket)

回送・かいそう・not in use, heading back, regarding public transport.  These are busses or trains that you can´t get on.

乾燥・かんそう・dryer. If you add 機・き, you´ll get a drying machine. 乾燥 often is an option on washing machines. There are even bathrooms that include this function. 

お新香巻・おしんこまき・Maki Sushi filled with pickled vegetables (I had Daikon). This is of importance for vegetarians and vegans at sushi restaurants because this will probably be the only safe option you´ll have besides  かっぱまき (cucumber sushi). It tastes absolutely amazing, so definitely give it a try if you find yourself at a sushi place in Japan! 

沢庵・たくあん・Pickled raddish.  This was the filling of my お新香巻 and was really tasty. 10/10 would recommend. Appearantly it can be bought in supermarkets and I regret not knowing this before leaving Japan because I´d have gotten a lot.

火口・かこう・vulcane crater.  Note that this word can also be read as ひぐち, which changes the meaning to “source of a fire”
