Yōshoku
I’m at Hayashiya in Shinjuku eating spaghetti. This is not an Italian restaurant, of which there are many in Tokyo, but a Japanese restaurant serving Western-style Japanese cuisine known as yōshoku.
Ebi Burgers
Ebi means “Shrimp” in Japanese. I’m not Japanese, I’m Korean and grew up familiar with Donkatsu – the Korean way to say Tonkatsu – a meat that is breaded with Panko then deep fried. Generally it’s a pork cutlet but can be made with chicken as well.
