snowboard_freak 0 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I have just finished a fine steak, potato and cheese pie. Fantastic stuff! I love a meal that you can eat and then have no washing up at all. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I reccon the old niku man is not completely unlike a meat pie. Get some tomato sauce on there a bit of imagination and its just as good as a pie. I'm also a fan of the pizza man from lawsons. Link to post Share on other sites

mogski 0 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 What the Dickens in Ebisu serves up a pretty good steak and Guinnes pie, but aside from here the pie is an elusive and luxury item here in J-land. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 OK better change that "bit of imagination" to "wrap it in a thick layer of imagination" Link to post Share on other sites

Dims 0 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Had some excellent pies at the AFL (aussie rules football) grand final held at the australian embassy. Great pepper steak numbers. They are made in Japan and also sold at Quest in Roppongi. Sorry forgot the name.......will try to find out. Probably be able to buy in bulk and put em in the fridge. Bloody oiishi they were, I had four. Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 1 Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 The Blarney Stone in Umeda does pies with beans and mash which are pretty good by all accounts. In a way I'm glad they don't have them at combenis cause I would be much fatter if they did. Link to post Share on other sites

2pints-mate 0 Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Northerners eat pies. Got some good local beers up there as well to go with them, Link to post Share on other sites
neversummer 0 Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I thought the best pies in the world came from Down Under. Haven't had anything special in the UK yet and it was the thing I most craved when I left Japan. Steak and Onion 'Patties' pie from Victoria Link to post Share on other sites
