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.

Gamarjobat @ Otodama Sea Studio

Chie and I went to Zushi beach today. It is a beach closer to the train station than Ishiki beach that we usually goes to, which we have to take a final 20 minutes or so bus ride. And that makes a big difference in crowd.

Zushi beach was packed!



At around 2 pm we had a shower. Changed to non-swim wear. And went to meet Non and Ryo at the Otodama Sea Studio, about 100 meters from where we had stayed during the day. It was Gamarjobat time. The show was HOT. As in temperature hot. We all sweated a lot, but most of all Gamarjobat was wet through all their clothing. It was fun, though the other shows that we have seen have been more fun.



As always, we also have dinner together. But around Zushi beach there are not so many restaurants that we really wanted to visit. So we went to Ebisu and visited Mai Thai. Yummy!



Kan

Kan is a Japanese contemporary restaurant. The food is based in Japanese traditional food but with a modern twist. And it was here that Chie and I spent our dinner tonight.

Although we ate too much, as we always do at Kan, the food you have here still don’t make you feel stuffed. You just get that feeling of having had just enough of everything.

I even had desert. Hojicha (roasted green tea) ice cream on top of a bed of anko (red bean paste), and edamame (soy bean) pudding with caramel sauce. There is only one word for it… Yummy!

Musashi in Tokorozawa

Took a trip to Tokorozawa by train after tea ceremony in Tokyo. Met with Chie and her mother at Musashi for dinner. As usual it was delicious. I ordered a buri-kama-yaki (grilled yellowtail head) to bring back home. Tomorrow’s breakfast 😛



After dinner we went home to say hello to Coco. He was as cute as ever… Coco is the one to the right in the picture by the way 😉
