My friend, Margie, treated me out for lunch as her birthday gift to me. I like her birthday gift because atleast I get to spend time with her and enjoy her company. Thanks dear Margie!!!
She shared with me one of her favorite restaurants which I have been hearing from my friends. So finally I get to try it. Margie says she likes it here because it is not noisy, she can eat properly without much distraction and of course the food is very good.
It is not the usual japanese restaurant. Instead of having one main dining area, it has rooms which can accomodate small groups. All the clients during lunch were Japanese, we were the only Filipinos. So this place must be really good and serves authentic japanese food if the Japanese go here!
We stayed in the Main sushi counter
Shintaro and his brother who both work here
Sushi knives!! One knife costs around P 500,000.00 and above- wow!
Shintaro so proud to show me toro ( Blue fin tuna belly ). My husband loves toro so I showed him the photo when I got home 🙂 I am not really a sushi or sashimi eater so we were just watching Shintaro make the sushi. And as always, everything to the Japanese is an ART! They take everything seriously and do everything with passion and everything is thought out so well
Freshly made wasabi
This was our lunch – the Daily Lunch Special – YUMMY! We had appetizer, soup, gindara, chicken and dessert
I seem to notice that whenever we eat Japanese food, the feeling is never heavy. They say that when you feel light and not like you regret eating something, that the food is healthy….
P 100.00 toothpick! I had to use one just to try it and see how it feels 🙂
Sesame ice cream which came with the lunch meal
Thanks Margie!! Just to prove how funny and hilarious she is…she was asking me if she should go to the gym after lunch….. and she tells me, “Sayang naman ang kinain ko kung pupunta ako sa gym!” Normally it would be the other way around! 🙂
