八代, Nagoya Japan

My very first 'okonomiyaki' experience. It's savoury pancake and have to be made by yourself i.e. DIY.

It was soooo much fun! This is the picture 'before'
This is the 'after' picture.


And we also have another kind of savour pancake called 'monjayaki'. This is the picture before again....
And this is the picture 'after'
With monjayaki you have to each with the little 'shovel'. It was so muh fun!!!
3 person, plus 4 beers and 2 glass of plum wine the bill was only about 2000 Yen (10 pounds) .

せ ん りゅう旬彩, Nagoya Japan

My HR manager took us (Saturday worker) to this lovely little restaurant. The chief was one of our previous chiefs. He just opened his first restaurant.

To start with, we had sea urchin on top of tofu. Urchin is really sweet and the tofu is so smooth, v fresh taste

Second starter....

3rd course is salad. The source has sesame flavour - v nice

4th course is tuna and sea bream sashimi, v beautifully done.
A closer shot -
5th course is backed small lobster with miso souce - delicious
6th course is radish with roast duck - soooo nice! (forgot to take a picutre before eating...so it looks a bit messy)

Then it's sushi time....freshly made by the chief. I think this one is sea bream with plum source.

Then it's tuna (maguri).

Then it's mackerel (saba) with little bit miso on top

Then it's shrimp (ebi)

Then some strange seafood.

Then the last one.....sea urchin(uni), soooooo sweet!!!

To finish with, we had red bean with mochi - hmmmmm yummmmm......

Don't know how much it was, cos my manager paid for the bill - in return I had to work the whole afternoon.
