Passing through the food hall inside Shinagawa Station last night I spotted a familiar silhouette from afar...
Yes indeed, it was the burro from burrito specialists Libre, last seen at their hugely popular (but now closed) pop-up counter housed in a converted freight container in a carpark on Aoyama-dori.
There was no way I could walk past those appetizing posters...
Needless to say I paused to pick up a couple of burritos — one pork, one veggie (they also do chicken and beef). Plus a jar of that tangy hot sauce, which up to now hasn't been available for sale.
I was ready to munch into them straight away on the train but, out of deference to everyone around me – I didn't want to have to share them, did I? – managed to hold off till I got home.
This temporary stall in the station will only be there through the end of this week (Jan. 22nd).
But I did get the lowdown on the new Libre restaurant, which opened last week in permanent digs in Ebisu — just along the street from Ebisu Yokocho.
More about that on their blog/web site here...
And here's a map link...
