Deli Macherie<\/strong>
\n\"del-macherie-001\"<\/p>\n

This popular deli is run by Sunryon and Hyonsu, an international couple who have spent time in Korea, New York and Beijing. The Takasago shop, their second, opened this July with an eat-in counter. The 20-odd menu items change weekly and include homemade Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Western fare. For the takeaway lunch, pick a box size and let the clerk fill it with what you want. At \u00a5620, a medium box holds three mains, two sides and a salad. Be sure to try Sunryon\u2019s own veggie-packed tomato and meat curry, and the homemade breads and muffins can\u2019t be beaten.<\/p>\n

Udon Byori <\/strong>
\n\"noodle-biyori-001\"<\/p>\n

Chie Yarimizu wanted to run a restaurant where she could see people go about their daily life, so the residential location near the Baikoen Greenway was perfect for Udon Biyori. Originally a nutritionist, Yarimizu honed her noodle-making skills at the popular Sanuki Udon Shinari in Otemon for four years before striking out on her own in July 2012. After perfecting a mellow kombu-based broth that uses four kinds of dried fish flakes, she began tweaking her udon recipe. Her dough uses an original blend of two locally produced flours and is left sitting for two days to ensure proper chewiness and a wheaty aroma. She also cuts her noodles thinner than usual for the sake of the texture. While staying true to the fundamentals of udon, Yarimizu never forgot originality\u2014the avocado and shrimp tempura udon<\/em> is a popular dish (served hot or cold). The avocado not only creates a visual impact, it pairs well with the painstakingly crafted soup base.<\/p>\n
