Mobile blog - Food Prep

Had a chance to visit Syun Izakaya again in Hillsboro and I must say that I will be a loyal customer for sure.

Pricing is a bit on the median to high side, but then again it's all worth it.

This summer special roll in the picture seriouslu looked too good to eat!

So may I reiterate - if the sushi craving gets to you and you're in the area of SE Main in Hillsboro, do look up Syun Izakaya and wash that craving down with some good Japanese sake and sushi. But please... don't drink and drive!

Itadakimasu, mina san!

Mobile blog - Train of thought...

Sometimes we have such great timing that if it were equated to winning the lottery, I'd be a gazillionare by now.

Last weekend I decided to take the back roads - only to change my mind and go my usual route.

Well when I got to the intersection here comes this train. A loooong train...

Good thing I left early :-D

Baka... densha otoko... ;-)

A walk in one's thoughts...

Where there is distress, therein lies a story...

Where there is a story, therein lies a will...

...and wherever there is a will, therein lies a soul.




We choose.

We live.

We learn.

We survive.

We persevere.

Ganbatte, mina-san. :-)

Mobile blog - Syun-syun!

Somewhere in Hillsboro is a good sushi place - and that's Syun Izakaya @ NE Lincoln and 2nd.

I liked the ambiance as it has that authentic feel. Tons of sake bottles adorn their walls and I was really tempted to try some.

Food is excellent and fresh. Takoyaki-chan ordered this Gyoza Wings - chicken wings stuffed with gyoza filling. Pretty good! The sushi is great too, as you can see above (Hamachi, Syun Chef's Special, and Rainbow Roll - sorry for crappy pic).

And speaking of takoyaki, they do serve it but on specials only.

Service is good and they even have outdoor seating. They even personally show you the day's special menu - and what's still available. Yes they literally bring their special menu blackboard by your table - sugoi!

Prices are typical for non-sushi go round, and maybe a little on the expensive side for some selections.

Definitely a sushi place to revisit and recommend!

Itadakimasu!!

It's August!

Yes captain obvious...

July flew by so fast, dang! Good thing Summer is still here and in full swing.

...and I still haven't cleaned up the garage...he he he.

Nor have I qualified Yuki (the Mazda) to the 2010 Autocross season.

Stay tuned for more blogs (sensible and/or otherwise)! ;-)
