Today, I’m going to tell you about what is my favorite udon restaurant in Takamatsu and just one of my favorite restaurants in town overall. It’s called Oshima-ya and their specialty is wakame udon! And by wakame udon, I do not mean regular udon with some wakame in the soup. […]

As I mentioned a few days ago, Patrick Lydon, Suhee Kang and Kaori Tsuji are starting an amazing project on Megijima for the next two months. Well, it’s really one stage of an ongoing project that’s moving from place to place. It is fascinating project in many ways; the main […]
Today, I want to tell you about a fascinating project on Megijima that I will try to follow as closely as possible. It’s called REAL time FOOD and it’s the brainchild of Patrick Lydon, Suhee Kang, and Kaori Tsuji. To get an idea of what it is about, let me quote […]

Lion-dori‘s heydays are long gone (although they could come back, Takamatsu is working hard on revitalizing its shōtengai and so far, it’s working) but this restaurant doesn’t seem to care.

If you don’t really know what Tonkatsu is, it’s basically breaded pork. It is usually eaten with some or all of the things you can see on the picture: shredded cabbage, mustard, miso soup, rice, pickled vegetables and various sauces. When it’s prepared just right, it can […]
