Sundays are usually met with dread but we’re changing that by having good food for dinner in Chicago. Last week we visit <a href="http://eatatunion.com/" target="_blank">Union Sushi</a> in River North. Food was delicious! What you see is a collection of food that enables big smiles & many returns. Clockwise: skate, seasonal pumpkin mochi cake (pie?), coconut ice cream bar, soba salad, old city market roll, mushroom dumplings, grilled chicken & shitake mushrooms, oyster, killer Yuzu pie and whole grilled squid. Go eat there now! </p>http://tokyofan.tumblr.com/post/14515316184http://tokyofan.tumblr.com/post/14515316184Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:20:29 -0600union sushichicagoJapanese food<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvc133IVDQ1qa8svjo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Ramen is best cure for chilly rainy nights.

This was such a cute place and they made their raspberry jam in their kitchen! So delicious. Started with a refreshing banana chocolate smoothie then had smoked salmon with veggies. If you’re ever in Paris, you have got to check out their scrambled eggs! They don’t look like ones you have in America but they’re very tasty. Then off to Greek yogurt and finish off the great meal with rhubarb crumb cake. Funny story, our brunch-mate was very surprised we knew what rhubarb is and that we’ve had it before. Told her that we, from Chicago, are very into food from all over!</p>http://tokyofan.tumblr.com/post/12480322355http://tokyofan.tumblr.com/post/12480322355Mon, 07 Nov 2011 15:19:01 -0600paristravelfoodbrunch<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltzfzwI3TJ1qa8svjo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Daruma doll from Japan.</p>http://tokyofan.tumblr.com/post/12195054920http://tokyofan.tumblr.com/post/12195054920Tue, 01 Nov 2011 07:57:32 -0500japandaruma doll<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltooy3dw2f1qa8svjo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltooy3dw2f1qa8svjo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>The very renowned Bath Buns at Bath, UK.
