GODZ Shinjuku

There aren't any gigs in particular that we wanted to catch. This is a quiet week for shows, although there  were a number of gigs the week before we came, and a few the week after we leave. But we had to stop by a rock bar smack in the middle of Shinjuku called GODZ. The bar has been around since 2002 and it's just a short walk from Shinjuku station in bar alley. (Do they call it Golden Gai?) I've never been here. The man hasn't either. But he knows the owner and a friend wanted to meet him here tonight. 

Music over the speakers was GREAT. They even have little pieces of paper for you to write your desired song; they just spotify it and play it for you. Nice. Metal and rock. Awesome. The man had a great time listening to all the songs and chatting with the friends old and new.  

The counter ordered a round of beer. I passed. I couldn't stomach any beer. Too gassy for my already-at-risk-of-indigestion stomach. Whisky it was. Their Bowmore 12 y.o was priced decently and I had three glasses on the rocks. 

We were so stuffed that we weren't even thinking about food. Till about 9pm when we were done with drinks. I thought I would just stop by any of the ramen or random restaurants in the area. It's Shinjuku and late night dining is always available. I couldn't afford to eat much or indigestion would hit the next day. I needed something low-carb or no carbs.

Went into Moyan Curry. Hahahahaah. Worst choice for me. How to eat curry with no rice? Goodness. Carbs. I know Moyan is a chain of curry shops like CoCo Ichibanya. But I didn't know what this brand is about. I'm not a fan of Japanese curry. To me, it's like those Hong Kong beef curries. They're sooooo weird. 

Randomly ordered a portion of katsu for me, and beef for the man. When the curries came, we were pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. The curry was actually spicy instead of sweet. It is degrees better than CoCo Ichibanya's nonsense. Other places use curry powder, which is quite the standard. I could actually taste blended vegetables in Moyan's curry. Wow. Had to google it. OHHhhHH. It said it's gluten-free, MSG-free, low calories, and using loads of vegetables. Wow. I still ditched the rice. I had asked for a smaller portion of rice. It was just a bit smaller and not really even half. Ah well.
