Today, I suggested Okonomi //Yuji Ramen on Ainslie Street, Brooklyn. I love Japanese food (Sushi Seki in Chelsea, a yes, as well as Kazu Nori, the original hand roll bar on W 28^th St. NYC), and the idea of ramen for brunch sounded perfect. From their website, “We are a neighborhood Japanese kitchen with a focus on regional seafood and Mottainai cuisine” (an ancient Buddhist term which encourages sharing instead of waste). Don’t worry –  no recycled food!! Adam chose Bacon and Egg Mazemen (ramen) while I ordered the Spicy Tuna, easy on the spice. The homemade noodles were thick and chewy, and the ingredients were fresh and of excellent quality. For Adam, it was a repeat, even though the portion left him not quite satisfied. For me, this was unlike any ramen I have ever eaten, by taste and texture. I will give it another try – perhaps the Oko Donburi (rice dishes) served with 7-grain rice.  Will let you know…..
