Dinner at Komegashi in Jersey City, NJ

I didn't realize that Komegashi was so close to my apartment. Literally on one of my cross-streets ha.  The exterior is a little off-putting, as there is no clear signage and it looks a little shabby.  However, the interior was quite chic and there were more people eating here than the outside would suggest.  They gave us a few different free appetizers which was nice, including edamame (not pictured b/c edamame looks pretty much the same everywhere), a house salad, and Inarizushi (which I had to look up - sushi rice wrapped in fried tofu.  Originally I thought the rice was in egg).  Then Dan and I shared a sushi roll and got two different kinds of ramen.  Overall the food was definitely better than any other Japanese place in JC, including Honshu.  It was a little pricy though.  Glad we tried it.  Now post-Bar, will have to find the best ramen in NYC.

House salad with ginger dressing

Spicy Rivalry Roll - Inside shrimp tempura & spicy tuna. Outside- eel & avocado.  Delicious

Hot & Spicy Ramen -
Roasted pork, memma, hard boiled egg, scallions, seaweed, in a spicy chicken broth.  Dan enjoyed it and it definitely had a kick.  Unsure what the thing at 3:00 was though...

Kimchi Ramen - Spicy Kimchi with special broth, hard boiled egg, and roasted pork.  It was sooo yummy. Just the right amount of spice and salt.  Only complaint was they only had one slice of pork.  LAME.  The portion was really big though so I had a nice, large lunch the next day
