All I have to add is that it was one of my favorite restaurants in Japan (and we had many), and an excellent excuse for a train ride to Tokyo! <br /><br />It runs in my mind we discovered this place soon after arrival in Japan, and we were still trying to communicate with people in Spanish rather than Japanese and there was a waiter from Ecuador, if memory serves, who could speak to us in Espanol...<br /><br />How about "Garlic Bread a la Ninnikuya"?Sabba and Nannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406970517571825905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820307678781279917.post-20631030950376670152009-11-24T08:46:34.402+10:002009-11-24T08:46:34.402+10:00Now this is my kind of Garlic Bread!!!Now this is my kind of Garlic Bread!!!Taliahttp://taliacarbis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820307678781279917.post-91657525257165596612009-11-24T07:44:40.907+10:002009-11-24T07:44:40.907+10:00I don't know if I do remember the deep fried g...I don't know if I do remember the deep fried garlic eggplant ... hmm, I'm thinking maybe these Ninnikuya recipes need to make their way onto this blog !!!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007899936408265596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820307678781279917.post-71153204943337606842009-11-24T07:35:31.156+10:002009-11-24T07:35:31.156+10:00If you get to Tokyo before we can go together, you...If you get to Tokyo before we can go together, you just get off the subway at Ebisu and follow your nose. Truly, you can smell the place 2 blocks away! You never went because it was a whole evening event, and was pricey, but I guarantee you ate everything I did, cause I learned to make it all! Do you remember the deep fried garlic eggplant? That was my other favorite dish from there.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698496491831245208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820307678781279917.post-2689077058181513622009-11-24T07:29:12.222+10:002009-11-24T07:29:12.222+10:00I KNEW there was a story !!! :) I have it in wri...I KNEW there was a story !!! :) I have it in writing now, never to be forgotten again !!

We first had garlic brea...There is indeed a story! We first had garlic bread this way at Ninnikuya, in Ebisu. Ninniku is the Japanese word for garlic, ya....well in this case it means restaruant! And Ebisu is in Tokyo. Everything in this restaurant is cooked with garlic. If you go to their web site you read that they don't take reservations. That has not changed since the 90's, when we were there! There is always a long wait to get in. The kitchen is across a counter (where if you are lucky you can sit and eat and watch them cook the whole evening....) that is right inside the front door. While you are waiting for your table you inch your way right past the entire kitchen...what a heavenly wait! I learned how to make every single dish I ate there! Those who weren't taking free cooking classes while they waited were in olfactory heaven, as the perfume of the cooking garlic was pratically a visible cloud! It is so easy, and delicious, and if you make it using a long loaf (cut into quarters of fifths so they are 3 of 4 inches tall), such an inpressive presentation, you will never want to serve garlic bread any other way! And, just so you know, in Japan, you would of course push the garlic down into the bread with your chopsticks!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698496491831245208noreply@blogger.com
