Fri Nov 06 11:25:57 -0800 2009 260686 gracekim 1 5162771 No, but I was just at Craft today and they have pumpkin cake on the menu. Didn't try it though.

I know Omotesando in Tokyo, and have lived quite close to there since 1977. Sat Nov 07 05:29:45 -0800 2009 5162771 11938 Tripeler 3 5163256 Yeah, it's Omotesando misspelled. I just like the sound of it when they call it out on the subway stop.

It was an odd dish. The escolar alone tasted too strongly of lemon and the flan alone tasted too strongly of cinnamon. But when I tried them together, the flavors worked. (I will say that my dinner colleague hated the dish with a passion.)

Give them a call to be sure. Sun Nov 08 11:03:35 -0800 2009 5161390 1101938 foodluvver
