ROPPONGI: Komoro Soba for some huge Shrimp Tendon on Sale!

Its very rare that I hit up a soba noodle place instead of ramen before heading home but occasionally I should stick to some seafood vs carbs. 3 Pieces for 490yen... thats all me!

But wait! 680yen super high ranked jumbo shrimp for 490yen! And 4 giant pieces instead of 3!

It didn't come with any sides like Miso soup but oh well... there is a ceramic bowl with free umeboshi's that were rather hard.

Overall it hit the spot and easy in easy out. If you are craving Tempura on a budget then check it out... but you will have to walk past a few ramen shops to get there... good luck!

JINBOCHO: Tendon Imoya for a bowl of Tempura-Tendon... but regular 550yen Tendon a must!

Its been a while since I last visited Tendon Imoya but I actually found my way here after finding out that my favorite Jinbocho Ramen Jiro is closed on Wednesdays~...

Only 2 items on the Menu. Tendon 550yen (1 piece of shrimp, white fish, squid, seaweed and something else) and the Shrimp Tendon 800yen (4 pieces of shrimp and 2 small green veggies).

There it is... my "Ebi Tendon" that includes green tea and a bowl of miso soup (with tiny clams that are famous for curing hangovers... Shijimi clams!). I believe you can order seconds on the soup for free.

"L" shaped counters eating and perfect view of the chef cooking... these guys usually have quite a few scars due to all the hot oil popping out of the pot thing.

In Jimbocho there are several Imoya's scattered about with each specializing in their own dish... Tonkatsu-Imoya (home of the mean unfriendly Tonkatsu chef) and Tempura Imoya.

IIDABASHI: Yami-Tuki Curry... easy in easy out with 700yen Curry Specials

Cambodian food? I've never had this before but my journey to try out the food met with a "closed" sign. Its fairly highly ranked in the Kagurazaka area... so where to go?

http://r.tabelog.com/tokyo/A1309/A130905/13109698/

Decided to take a walk towards Iidabashi and spotted some Chickens (near Hosei University).

Three daily lunch specials... Tomato and Spinach with Cheese, Shrimp and fuffy egg, and the Tomato and Eggplant chicken curry~... hmm...

Decided to go for the Shrimp and lightly boiled egg. Taste was rather bland...

A few shops around town.

It was simply an OK shop... all counter seating and easy in/easy out.

Toppings.

Standard rice volume is 250g but you can request 400g or 500g for free.

There are 5 spice levels~.

Overall not a memorable spot but service was very friendly. Lunch is til a nice 3pm where most places will close at 2pm...

JIMBOCHO: "TENDON Imoya" Ten-don (rice bowl) for 550yen

Authenti Japanese Ten-Don by chef's for only 550yen. You'll sit shoulder to shoulder with salarymen and university students (lots of universities in this area).

Menu is limited but most customers ordered the 550yen Ten-Don that consists of one piece of shrimp, fish, seaweed and ika (squid?). There is also a Tempura-Don with only Shrimp for 800yen.

2 chefs behind the counter will ask you "Tendon deskuka?" Just say "Hai" or say "Tempura Don kudasai" for the shrimp only rice bowl. Cup of hot tea will arrive first.
