Is Tokyo on fire? No, just the usual summer fireworks (hanabi) over Tokyo bay 🙂

Yakiniku
Yoshiki-san had been away playing golf all day long. I guess he was tired and really hungry when he got back because he wanted to have yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) for dinner.
Chie and I was not objecting. So there we went. Having a nice yakiniku dinner in Meguro. And as always eating too much. We literally were rolling back home… In a car 😀
Kan, Grotta, and Tram
After work today I went home to Andreas. Or rather I went to his building. Went up to the 5th floor where his apartment is. And met him in the hallway. Waiting impatiently.
We had a plan to have a dinner at Kan. It had been hot and humid all day long and was still hot and humid enough to be drenched should we have decided to walk the 40-50 minutes to Kan. We took a taxi.
The result? We were a tiny bit early. Chie was not there yet. So I called here to let her know we had arrived already. That was lucky because after I’ve talked with here I just handed over the phone to one of the waiters… Then 5 minutes later food started to come Andreas and my way.
About 15 minutes later Chie also arrived. And joined Andreas and me in our feast of delicious Japanese food.
We enjoyed a long dinner with lots of food. Finally we had enough and went to Grotta for a night cap.
But Grotta was closed due to Obon. So we continued to Tram. One of Andreas favorite bars in Ebisu. There we had Absinthe (Andreas), white wine (Chie), and Ginger Ale (me). And philosophed (OK, not a real word but that was what we were doing ;-)) about life in general. Until it way past bedtime for Chie and me.
