Yesterday, at some point…

okonomi

Last night we had a family dinner date at a tiny (12 seat) Japanese spot in East Williamsburg called Okonomi (by day) and Yuji Ramen (for dinner). This is a photograph of my place setting, with water and sake, before the food came.

One day, I will develop self control and remember to photograph the food first, before I dig in. But for now, you should just trust me and head straight for this gem of a restaurant as fast as your legs will carry you.

By day (9 – 3), they serve traditional Japanese breakfast. In the evenings (from 6 – 11) they serve their own take on ramen, both with and without the traditional broths. I had what was essentially the ramen version of spaghetti carbonara, with huge pieces of fresh bacon from the Meat Hook, and was in heaven. Everything we ate was delicious, and I can’t wait to go back for more.

For dinner on weekends, they do a sit down tasting menu (did I hear the waiter say 12 courses?) that you need to reserve via their website. Or maybe you just call them. It all seemed quite mysterious.

See you there.

Yesterday, at some point is a series of photographs that describe a moment I experienced during the previous day (or thereabouts). The posts are meant to be stand alone images, though at times I can’t control myself, and I end up expanding the caption into a more lengthy bit of text. Hopefully the extra information is useful, or at least interesting. If not, feel free to ignore it.
