OK, Here we go..... I think it only fair to start with this photo as this trip to Tokyo, and the inspiration of these two guys with me in the photo, really kicked off my interest in exploring food, photographing said eats, and sharing/explaining my impressions of my experiences. So, to you David Chang and Anthony Bourdain, Cheers, and thanks. As I begin I think it only fair to explain a bit of what my purpose with this blog is. As you know, I do not participate in Facebook, and I wont go into why here, but I NEEDED a vehicle to communicate and connect with those in my life, both near and far. As the name implies, this will primarily be a blog about pizza. However, as this is mine, I will feel free to do and say as I damn well please, as it pleases me. So I hope to not offend or tiptoe too far over the line of appropriateness, but if I do, that's just too fucken bad. Enjoy. Pizza, food, life experiences, thoughts, feelings, rants, and more food. This is what you will find here. Please feel free to share and pass along to anyone you think might have an interest, as I hope you will as well. Sincerely yours, DVA

Oyster Party, Tokyo, Japan


Any decent oyster party starts with a nice bottle of white wine



We (Michi-chan and I) are somewhere near Tsukiji inside a large building at a food court of sorts.  Actually, its a few restaurants nestled together on the 3rd floor of an office high-rise.  There was a british pub, a nice Japanese restaurant, and an Oyster bar/restaurant.
We saw oysters and we were on it!  

It's been a long day up to this point and we are hungry and thursty.....   
(yes, the u is intended there...!)


For those of you that can read Japanese here are the menus


This is the bar filled with ice and oysters


The first round is raw and there are several types to choose from.  No idea what part of Japan they are from tho, so just enjoy the photos  :-)


These are the toppings that allow you to customize your bite.  Scotch, ponzu, ground green tea, etc....


Mmmmmmm


MMMMMM!!!!!!!!!


Obviously a sideshot of the bar





Action photos



Smoked, probably the best thing, out of a lot of best things


Accompanied by olives.  The green were good.


Baked, and several different flavors.  And pretty cheap too, $3 a pop.  BRING ON THE OYSTERS!



Basil



The next is miso.

And that's where the party ends.  Short and sweet.

Raw, baked, steamed, smoked.  Eat 'em
