Hello.
Hello.
How's it going?
What's the recent best dish you had?
Okay.
Besides that soup.
Besides the corn soup.
Yeah.
Let's see.
I went to...
I went to Torikizoku.
Okay.
You know their signature skewer?

Wow.

The signature one.
The tare version.
Everything?
Shio.

That's a good thing.
That was good.
Yeah.
You don't go to Torikizoku?
No.
I love Torikizoku.
I go there all the time.
Okay.
Remember last week we had the satsui, right?
Yes.
I went to Torikizoku after that.
By myself.
For dinner?
Yes, dinner.
Two or three times in my life.
That's it?
Oh shit.
Yeah.
You should go there, man.
It's so cheap.
Yeah.
So good.
So good.
Yeah.

Absolutely great.

Oh, nice.
Nice.
平均的などら焼きの体験
I was disappointed at what I thought was going to be the best dish that I will have in years,
but was disappointing was, you know in this building, first floor, or B1, they have this
dorayaki place.
Oh.
Dorayaki plus.
Ah, dorayaki.
Yes, yes.
I know that place.
You know that place?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have one of them.
Yeah.
It's a very famous place.
Yeah.
It's very, always line up.
Yeah.
Always 売り切れ.
For it is.
I had one.
Yeah.
It was so average.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
What did you try?
I had the most, I had the best one.
The famous one.
Yeah, like I think the fancy one.
Namakurimu.
With the...
Yeah.
Namakurimu and the anko.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
You didn't like that?
No.
The konbini's better.
Konbini.
Maybe it's just my taste, though.
Really?
Yeah.
Maybe it's just my sense of taste, you know?
No, you didn't...
It can't be.
It can't be.
Yeah, it can't be.
Worse than konbini.
Okay.
But we'll see.
アメリカンベーカリーのチュイニークッキー
Right next to that store, they have this American bakery shop.
Yeah.
You've seen it before?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's very small.
It's like using kind of vegan...
They don't use any like...
Oh, okay.
Yeah, maybe.
Like animals-based things.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Of course, yeah.
They sell this super chewy cookie.
Yes, I saw that.
I bought it?
Yeah.
That was good.
Oh, that was that?
That was good.
Oh, good, good, good.
That was good.
You...
I loved it.
You stumped it.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
And I can tell that like the name was like, I don't know, like super...
Yeah, it was super chewy.
Chewy chocolate cookie or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The visuals are just extreme.
It's like a volcano looking shit, you know?
You've seen it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was...
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
I was wondering like, yeah, it tastes like that, but I'm not sure if Kevin tried it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I loved it.
I loved it.
It was good.
ビリヤニの話
It's good.
Nice, nice, nice.
Any place around here you liked?
Around here?
Yeah.
Went to the curry shop around here.
Okay.
And tried biryani.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And as you said, you're into biryani right now.
So...
Yes.
75?
75.
Yeah.
Got there.
Yeah.
Okay.
Are you talking about...
You know how there's three buildings here?
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are you talking about one of the buildings?
No.
It's outside of the...
It's like a walkable distance.
It's just five minutes from...
Five, six minutes from here.
Yeah.
Wait.
Do you know the place?
I think...
I know one place where they sell...
So, I was in...
I was working here.
Right.
And I was like, I want to get biryani.
And I searched biryani and I found one biryani place.
I guess that's the same...
So, the entrance.
So, you walk in.
Yeah.
On your left, there's the cashier.
Yes, yes.
And then, there's like a huge wall.
It's like a standing wall.
And then, there's like tables.
Yeah.
It was like...
It was deep tables.
Kind of hallway.
Yeah, it was like a long rectangular-
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shaped place.
Yeah.
And there was this woman.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The tencho's woman.
Oh, was it?
Yeah.
No.
And there was a huge TV that's running Indian...
Right, right, right, right.
But all Indian places are like that.
Yeah.
So, it's kind of hard to...
But yeah, the kitchens were the...
The deepest place.
The furthest from the entrance.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you have the bathroom on the right side.
Okay, I didn't go to the bathroom, but...
Yeah, okay, okay.
Sure.
You went to the place?
Yeah, if we're talking about the same place, yes.
Okay, okay.
I went to that place.
Did you try the biryani?
I did try the biryani.
Oh.
I liked the biryani.
You like it?
I liked it, yeah.
75 points, it isn't that bad, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, yeah, it's...
But I only tried one menu.
It was matom biryani, I think like that.
So, maybe different ones would be better, but...
I still have to try the one where you recommended.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
For you, that place is a pretty high, like in the 90s, rank?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have to try that.
Yeah.
Definitely.
Yeah.
It's like professional.
Okay, gotcha.
Yeah, yeah.
Let me see if I like it.
But the closest one, we may be talking about the same store.
The taberogu hyoku was very high.
Oh, okay, okay.
That's why I choose to go there, but...
Okay.
Compared to the hyoku, I thought it's like...
Oh.
I see.
Oh, it's not bad.
It was delicious, but...
Yeah.
I tried the one in this building.
Oh, there's one in...
Not this one, but it's the other two buildings.
And I liked it.
It's pretty good.
Okay.
Is it like biryani store?
It's not a biryani store.
It's like a...
Curry store?
Yeah, it's like an Indian curry store.
I liked it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Need to try that.
Yeah, yeah.
In this building...
Oh, this coffee is good.
カフェの評価
Where did you get the coffee from?
That.
Oh, that place?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See, I was wondering.
So, in this floor, there's a dedicated cafe only to people in this floor.
Right.
For like this employees.
Yeah, for the employees that works here.
Is that good?
Is that good?
Yeah.
I mean, well, I don't say this is the best, but it's not terrible.
It's good.
Above average.
Yeah.
All right.
I would say 75.
75?
Yeah.
Pretty high.
Yeah.
It's not bad.
It's decent.
What would you rank with Starbucks?
Just for reference.
Okay.
You know, just for reference.
I'm not trying to diss Starbucks or anything.
I just want to know because I don't have that much of a data.
Okay.
That's a difficult question for coffee taste.
For coffee.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
48.
Shit.
But you're talking about...
Are you talking about 50 as in like the most average?
Are you talking about Hisachi or are you talking about like test scores?
It's like, yeah, test score.
Oh, that's bad.
It's like...
That's bad.
No, I mean, but yeah, 50.
I understand.
I mean, it's your, you know, console.
Yeah.
You score whatever you'd like.
Yeah.
Around the 50s.
50, yeah.
50 something, right?
Okay.
55.
55?
Yeah.
Got it.
I'll give 55.
But Starbucks isn't just a coffee company, right?
Yeah.
I mean, they provide a place.
Oh, yeah.
The comfortable place.
Yeah.
Great customer service.
Yes, yes.
All that makes a great restaurant.
Yes.
Yeah, absolutely.
So, if I include all those elements, it can be way higher than that.
I love their lattes, by the way.
Yeah.
I love their lattes.
Good.
Yes, yes, yes.
So, okay.
Great.
Very high scores.
Yeah.
Talking about this cafe right here.
They make you choose the beans, right?
You want the...
I have no idea what they're...
Like, light dark.
Yeah, light dark.
I think they have, like, six beans.
That's a lot of beans.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a lot of beans for a coffee shop where there's no customers, like, all the time,
right?
Yes.
Yes.
And it's very cheap.
Yes!
It is so cheap.
Why is it so cheap?
Because it's for only the customers, like, employees.
I guess it's, like, half, like, Fukuri Kousei for these employees.
Oh, yeah, probably.
Probably, yeah.
So, it's only 300 yen.
Wow!
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Shit, that's great.
It's a great deal.
Yeah.
If I buy this quality, this amount, that beans, I don't know...
From Kanomoto Sando, right?
Yeah.
Like, what?
1,200 yen.
That's expensive.
Yeah.
That's a good deal, though.
Yes.
Yeah.
Honestly, it's not bad.
It's good.
I'll try their latte.
Yeah.
I don't know about lattes, though.
But you're talking about coffee.
Yeah.
The dripped version.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you should try it.
Espresso's different, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know the machine's quality, that I don't know about.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
At least hand-dripped coffees are good.
Oh, okay.
That's nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do they have a decaf?
Yeah.
They have decaf beans.
That's great.
That's great.
Yeah.
Nice.
I'll try that.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Yep.
Bye-bye.
