鷹流

(turn left out of the Waseda Exit at Takadanobaba station. A couple blocks along the main road, hop over to the alley running parallel. It’s over there)

Inside there were instruction manuals about how to eat the different bowls. “Don’t add ingredient X and ingredient Y, only 1 is good!” Luckily I was with Nate who possesses the skills to pay the bills.

The owner is into Harley’s. The 3rd, un-photographed wall had bottles of スズメ蜂 wine. What’s that? It’s booze made from killer Japanese wasps, that’s what!

Also olive oil.
