Kyotofu

I like Kyotofu; it was weird to me that they didn't have their store name but maybe they want to stand out that way or maybe they re-ordered one?


Once you walk in there is seating near the window and then the cash register and across from it is the kitchen. Then comes the back dining room (pictured above) and the bathroom.



Anyway, I enjoyed every bit of my [ Soymilk Soft Ice Cream Sundae ] I totally recommend it. I don't usually like mochi but this mochi was delicious. I'm not a big fan of berries so I didn't really touch that part of my dessert but this ice cream was so light and just a party in your mouth.




S ordered a [ Chocolate Soufflé Cupcake ] which came along with the berry mix and a cute tiny cup of the soymilk ice cream I ordered. I'm not totally sure what is on top of the cupcake but S didn't enjoy that part too much. I did try a little bit of the cupcake and it tasted so soft and just right. If only i could get my cupcakes like that.




K ordered a [ Warm Mochi Chocolate Cake ] which she liked very much. I tried a tiny bit and it seemed to be on the sweet side but then again I tend to enjoy things that aren't too sweet.

By the way each dessert ranged from $7 to $12. Overall, I really liked the dessert here and would definitely come back the next time I get a chance.

Ramen Setagaya

They have tables along the walls and window and then a long table in the center.



The professional ramen makers and that's a tray of utensils but also seasoning! They have a variety of tiny bottles with interesting tastes that you can add to your soup base and or ramen. I highly recommend this orange/red one but sadly they all look kinda similar =X

Dumplings (I didn't try them but they smelled good)


Curry-don (pretty good, if you can totally try it)


Buta-don


R1 (I think) If you are not a fan of scallion I don't recommend this, well I mean I'm not a fan of scallion either but I guess you should pick the other ones if you can, also if you are a meat lover this is not the dish for you. As you can see, there is only one piece of meat which they call Cha-Syu. Their cha-syu is pretty good too, not too dry and enough flavoring. Aside from the meat and the scallions, this dish has seaweed, bamboo and an egg.


R3 - I like this dish, if only there were more pieces of meat =( I don't remember the soup base but it was good and the texture of the ramen... there was something about them but it was good. This type of ramen is different from the R5 dish and in my opinion better. They should combine the two lol


R4 - I didn't try this but I think what you are suppose to do is to put the ramen into the soup bowl and then knock yourself out :)


R5 - Well you already know my thoughts in regards for the ramen (don't get me wrong, it's still good) and yay more meat :)

I may be a dollar or two off but for lunch I think each bowl is around $8 and after that around $10. If you want a bowl of ramen + an appetitzer (dumplings or curry/buta-don), there is an additional $2? If you are not full from one bowl save your soup! You can order an extra bowl of ramen for $2 which in my opinion tasted even better.
