Namioto


Me and Sweetie went to pick up yen this past Monday . . . YES . . . we are going to Japan again!  Yippeeee!  

Maybe because we are in Japan-mode already, we ended up at Namioto for lunch. It's located in the 808 Center on the corner of Rycroft and Sheridan.

We decided to share a ramen and the Kushikatsu Set.

This is the Shoyu Tonkotsu with thin noodles ($11.95). The "healthy veggie broth" was very nice . . . mild and not overly oily.

The Kushikatsu Set ($10.95) contained one skewer each of sweet potato, cheese, baby corn, beef, pork, shrimp and chicken.

The sauce tasted kinda like tonkatsu sauce but on the sweeter side.

Oishiiiiiii!  Notice all the shiru from the ramen is GONE.

Although the waiter pushed the kushikatsu saying that it was their specialty, I think next time I'd get just the ramen.

I'm so excited for your Japan trip. We didn't make it out as planned last month because my daughter and I couldn't get our schedules to sync : ( ...but we've moved our trip to March or April!! Can't wait! I'm too much of a ramen lover to share with someone, lol. Looks yummy!

I have never been there either. You go to the most interesting places! Wow! You're going back to Japan! So cool! We'll be going to Korea. It feels like it's been a while since we've been back to Japan. Mom doesn't want to fly for 8 hours so we're doing other stuff now.

I hope you get to try it, Aunty.

Oooooh, excited for you too, Susan!

Yah Kay, that 8-hour flight is grueling. Korea trip sounds wonderful.

I'm glad we chose to eat there, Kat.

N, they've only been open for 2 months, so pretty new still.

So exciting, Julie!
