I've been menaing to check out Minaringo Curry in Harajku for some time and finally did last weekend. I had to go for the keema curry, which is my favorite. Not exactly Indian, but a good approximation for a Japanese restaurant.

Showa
Won ton ramen at Showa in Sasazuka. Not bad at all.

Hikarie Shibuya
This last weekend I also visited the new Hikarie building in Shibuya. It has an impressive design and some great mixed use spaces. The view from the highest public floor. The top part of the building consits of private office spaces.

Harajuku Tokyu Plaza
I finally went inside the new Tokyu Plaza in Harajuku.
Wood sculpture among the many stores designated for women-not much for me here.
However, I would come back for the outside seating at the Starbucks on a sunny day.
The view from above.

Great Burger: Cafe Hohokam
Perhaps it comes as no surprise that Cafe Hohokam has excellent burgers, since it is associated with another Harajuku gourmet burger joint, The Great Burger. It has a Southwestern American theme and outdoor seating on an open balcony-so lots of ambiance. I always try the standard cheese burger to taste the quality-and this is definitely one of the best burgers in town. I see that they have added a pastrami sandwich, which I'll be back to try later.

WP Goldburger
This was my first trip to Shibuya's WP Goldburger, which was somewhat of a disappointment. The burger had some gristle in it, which I didn't appreciate. You can have your choice of french fries or mashed potatoes, also narrrow counter space, but there are a couple of tables outside. I think there are better burger options in the area.

White Smoke
Brisket at White Smoke,Texas style BBQ, in Azabu Juban. A little on the pricey side, but well worth it.

Izumi Campus: Spring 2012
The new library will be open May 1st, too bad we'll only get to use it for a year, since the School of Global Japanese Studies will move to the new Nakano campus in 2013.
The cherry blossom trees are in full bloom now as well.

Ota Memorial Museum Of Art: Harunobu・Kiyonaga・Utamaro and Their Ages
The Ukiyo-e Ota Memorial Museum Of Art is having an interesting exhibition until the end of the month, April 26th, Harunobu・Kiyonaga・Utamaro and Their Ages. Utamaro is one of my favorite ukiyo-e artists and the subjects are mainly "bijin" (beautiful women). Only ¥700 for adults.
