Had lunch at the newly opened konjiki Hototogisu -Michelin bib gourmand ramen. It’s famous for their clam and truffle soup. I ordered the shoyu hamaguri soup ramen with onsen egg. The soup was clear with a strong taste of clams and a light taste of truffle. Overall, it has a distinct rich taste that is different from the normal typical ramen soup. It was pleasantly nice at first but can get a bit salty towards the end. The onsen egg at $2 was not flavored at all.
After that, I showed my mom to this place called Hvala at chjimes that serves nice matcha latte as she loves matcha latte v much.
I ordered the matcha latte hot and matcha hojicha latte hot for myself. My mom quite like the matcha latte as it was not v sweet and had a slight bitter matcha taste. The matcha hojicha latte is a blend of both matcha and hojicha as shown in the pic above. It looked just like matcha latte but with a oolong taste...or hojicha taste.
Anyway, the place itself was pretty nice and zen looking. Good place to chitchat and relax. Not much of a crowd during lunchtime. But it was v packed when I was there on Friday during 3-4pm. Guess it’s not a place for lunch but more a place for afternoon tea.
