Roots

I was up very early this morning getting ready to go out with Brian to Manhattan for the Japan fes. Konamon Contest, A contest focused on "flour" dishes; Okonomiyaki, Takoyaki, Dango, Yakisoba etc. We had some delicious and some not so delicious street food. We started at one end which was food vendors not participating in the contest. Yakitori, that was not the best, the Ika was not cooked well and the Pork Belly was just standard, nothing exciting.  From there we wandered into the Contest area, purchased our tickets which came with Calpico! (which Brian is enjoying below)   After getting tickets, we made our way through the contestants, there were nine participating vendors total and we bought five tickets and stopped at 4 places (I had to have dango twice)  Dango from "Odango" second time around, two sweet and one savory, made it as our number 2 winner. Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki from Kazu-Chan NYC, Super delicious and very good portion
