I walked by this place many times before trying it. The sign is in Japanese so I was never clear if it was a resaturant or just a sake bar and it was always crowded. I never had interest to try it specially by my self, not until a friend initiated me to it. We were early, place wasn't packed, we got really nice table (all with short little chairs, and a basket on the floor, to put our belongings). Kenka unique ambiance, sort of familiar, with half of it lighted with florescent light. The menu is ranging from the basic japanese tapas, to noodle and rice to some unique dishes (fatty pig feet, anyone?). I think it would take many visits before I can really say about the food, or to suggest a favorite. But, I do like that they give you a small cup of sugar and a stick at the end, to make cotton candy on your way out.
I took this picture at a Japanese market near my house called Mitsuwa. I have been going there ever since I was in college, so for about 20 years. It was a kind of a road trip then, since I lived two hours away, It used to be called Youhan. Now I live two minutes away, and I can go there anytime I need my fix on Japanese packaging, ramen, or strange enough, pasta.
