Home made Dumplings

Image
There is fuss and discussion in Japan lately about it is lazy or not if the wife uses the made up frozen packaged dumpling for dinner..... I don't mind it. But when we make home made dumpling we do together! It is fun and quick than making them alone. The one side of the tray I made and the other side was him.....It looks good both ! 

At the Uneno Museum

Day off ..... at The Ueno Museum. The Ueno museum is quite big, we took a walk in the garden behind it...... was nice.Cherry blossoms were almost finished, but the Japanese garden was nice.    After a lot of waking  we were thirsty...... Prost!

Going out to Dinner

Image
「Ishiwaka Soba 」 Japanese restaurant 「Otoushi」   It is Japanese food culture... for table charge, a kind of Amuse bouche... you can not chose, so sometimes good and sometimes not...but this restaurant's "Otoushi" was very delicious!!! Fruit Tomato Oden, with Quail egg and Pork....the stock was fantastic! And Tofu...was different with a delicate taste. Skipjack Tuna (Bonito) Sashimi was fantastic! Thickly cut sashimi, very tasty sauce of ginger, garlic, onion and spring onion....bringing a  lot of flavor in your mouth..... After a hot sake first, we had a cold sake.....  the set of sake was so cute.   Agedashi Tofu is one of Georges favourite Japanese dish, this is the best! with Aubergine. Tempura   ....we were disappointed not to order two of those.... Last one was the  Japanese Soba Noodles I was longing to eat those noodles..... which have a delicious taste, texture was perfect al dente! I could have eaten anoth...
