In Roppongi, a new burger shop opened. It is R-Burger. They have Japanese/Chinese types of burgers with a white steamed bun or a black bun (bamboo charcoal powder in it). The patties are pork with Haccho miso sauce, chicken with sour plum sauce, tuna with mayo and wasabi sauce, pork with sweet and sour black vinegar sauce, and pork with apple and BBQ sauce. Hmm, sounds yummy. These might match well with a rice bun too. Nice menu for lunch!
Speaking of lunch, I got a lunch box at Japanese Bento. It was pretty nice. I am working in an area called sio-site, which has various type of restaurants and shops. Doughnut plant is in NTV building. I was very looking forward to trying it , but I must tell that I was dissapointed when I did These were very dry and expensive!! One Apple sinamon bagel costs 250yen. It's about $2. Is this same in the U.S.?
What a silly news...orz. I wrote how the All-Japan Senior High School Baseball Championship Tournament is really popular and a big event in summer. This year, Waseda (Tokyo) and Komadai Tomakomai(Hokkaido) had a great final over two days. Then people had a blue towel crazy. Today, the towel maker is reproducing that blue towel as "Fortune blue towel". And this time they colaborated with Sanrio, which means...YES! that cat is on the towel.*

A doughnut (fried cake type) does not stay fresh very long. It is best eaten right after making when the outside is fried crispy and the inside is moist. They dry out quickly. Good cake batter is also important.

The doughnut plant donuts are expensive in New York also, but they are the best! Maybe give the new shop a few weeks to figure out how to do it right, and then try again?
