So yesterday, i went to this roadside Japanese joint near the border of Caloocan and Tondo, along with a couple other RR guys. Serene had been telling me of this place for a while now, about the authentic dishes cooked by the eponymous Japanese expat and his Filipina wife. After checking out some reviews of the place from some local blogs, i decided it was high time to check it out myself.
The shop's front, open to the street, including the kitchen. We didn't really give a flying fuck about the ambience, it's the food we came for.

Clockwise from middle left - yakisoba, okonomiyaki, katai yakisoba, torikatsu, katsudon and gyoza, with Ebi Fry in the middle. All of this worked out to roughly php140 per person. If we hadn't shared the Ebi Fry, the total bill would've worked out to around php140 per person. As it was, everything was just about php585 (around $15 or so). Di ko na sinama yung softdrinks sa presyo.

Less than fifteen minutes later, everything except for a portion of the okonomiyaki was gone. I didn't really expect much of this joint but the taste and quality is comparable to Komoro Soba in Megamall and (arguably) Tokyo Tokyo. Everything was also freshly-made.

We couldn't finish the okonomiyaki so Serene had it bagged for take-out. Yep, sobrang sulit talaga.

Suffice to say, i'm definitely going back again sometime soon.
