MetPods

Good chemistry is hard to find. The three Metropolis podpeople have certainly got it; just listen to the weekly Metpod.

The MetPod trio, Jordon, Suzy and Kong, along with guest Ninapod, met for a Higashi Shinjuku yakiniku dinner at Kouei, a longtime Uchida family favorite. Tonchan was where we really wanted to go, for the BEST samgyeopsal with endless sunny lettuce, goma leaves, garlic cloves, kimchi, sliced onions and red pepper to go with it (yes, you will stink afterwards, but you will be stinky and happy), but the line of people waiting out the back door was around 20 people too long, so we headed next door to Kouei. And you can do a lot worse than Kouei.

It was a really fun evening, with lots of smoky grilling and rounds of beer and shochu, and we ended by toasting with a bottle of Makkoli.
