Quite possibly our favorite Japanese restaurant in NYC for soba and other non-sushi delicacies.
For tonight's meal we enjoyed:
-yasai soba
-una don
Desert:
-milk tofu
-black sesame ice cream
And of course, chilled sake in what has to be one of the most beautiful carafes.
Librandi Gravello 2004 - 60% Galioppo / 40% Cabernet.
At $32/bottle - a fabulous wine for a special occasion or as a gift.

So easy to make! Add a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of maple syrup -- and
you have the perfect combination of salty/sweet.
For tonights meal, I whipped up a simple dish of:
-roasted brussel sprouts w/garlic and walnuts
-stir fry vegetables (string beans & broccoli)
-lebanese rice variation (made w/vermicelli and Trader Joe's vegan soy
meatballs)
Prep time was 5 minutes and total cooking time was under 40 minutes!
After stocking up on groceries at Trader Joe's - in lieu of cooking/prepping
dinner, decided on a nutrient replenishing smoothie:
-8 oz Rice milk
-1/2 cup frozen blueberries
-1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
-1/2 banana
-2 teaspoons of TJ organic peanut butter
-1 Tablespoon of TJ Greek-style yogurt (2%)
-1 Tablespoon of Barleans flax seeds
Blend until smooth -- and voila! Dinner is served!
The new 'green' Cooper Union building is progressing.
Opening another bottle of this delightfully bold Nero D'Avola. Went perfect
with a penne in a "soy bolognaise" sauce (grazie trader giotto!)
Might be the most expensive lux condo building on Bond, but not pleasing to
the eye.
