Galali

FRIDAY—Met up with Sayoko (L), her son Yu, and her friend Junko (R) for lunch in Shibuya.

Meet Yu Hokazono.

Sayoko always takes me to the most unexpected places with the best food.

This is Galali, a little two-story restaurant with a charming, rustic design using recycled wood.
This is downstairs

And the view from the 2nd floor, where we were seated.

This is Yu with the manager, Yohji

Specials of the day: I chose beef shabu-shabu

Waiting for food pics

Junko

Appetizers, rice, and miso soup came out fast

Then the most tender boiled beef on a bed of greens and dressing, topped with grated radish, sesame seeds and spring onions

Yohji brought out this book when I asked what the greens were called

So cute

Check out the greens called mizuna (do we have this in Manila?)

Wish I could eat like this everyday.

Yu ate this

And we’re done.

Seriously, one of the best meals I’ve had. Thank you for lunch!!
