Innie or Outie

This delish dish was found at a new roadside cafe (Bravo) off of Hwy 330 in Urasoe. The casual and relaxing semi-outdoor cafe just opened three months ago. This chunky, mildly-spiced with a slight fruity flavor curry contained potato, carrot, onion, and beef chunks served with a karage-style tonkatsu with rice and a pickled veggie is only one of the selections available. Accompanying the entrée was a good-sized salad of iceberg lettuce, grated cabbage and carrot, sliced cucumber and tomato with a choice of four salad dressings and optional mini-croutons. Completing the very reasonably-priced “lunch set” was a soft drink.

This local food court version of a TexMex favorite had spiced ground beef, shredded cabbage and carrot, white cheddar cheese, and a tomato slice in a homemade tortilla with a sweet and spicy salsa accompaniment.

A filling and tasty way to keep warm as we chowed down at a local outdoor eatery by Mihama Bowl. The ramen broth was absolutely delish…

The meal had pork, bamboo shoot, ramen noodles, minced chicken, fish roe, and scallions in a miso shiro broth with a sheet of nori on the side. To accompany the dish, well what is ramen without gyōza?
