Tried a teppanyaki restaurant for lunch with my husband after his appointment at hospital in the morning. At the restaurant, wonderful salad came, chef grilling 2 slices of decent sized butter fish (ebodai), rice came, then I felt a hot burning liquid running on my back of shoulder....! Staff hit a bowl of hot miso soup on the back of the chair and it spilled on to me.... I stayed calm, but it was quite hot, and I almost lost my appetite, but couldn't resist crispy fried skin of the fish, I kept on in taking lunch. The staff and chef apologized several times, some awkward moments, ice cream showed up, and I was about to pay, the chef didn't take the money. I was not mad, I was just surprised by the incident, but I bet I would've done the same if I were him. Food itself was great so I wish to come back sometime again.
Walking around Aoyama Cemetery. It's surreal that cherry blossoms are falling and covering graveyards, and its beauty, ephemeral, tranquility, everything I don't have enough words to express. And there were white dandelions on the ground. It's very unusual in east Japan. It made me happy to see a couple of flower petals on the loaf of bread I bought before the walk. 青山墓地で花見。 散りゆく桜の花びらが古いお墓に降り積もるのはなんともシュール で、美しさ、儚さと、静かさと、何とも言えず、非日常的。 そんな中、足元には白いタンポポ。東日本では珍しい。 家に帰って見たら、 お散歩前に買ったパンに花びらが付いていたのが何だか嬉しい。 Ships at a graveyard Old Christianity graveyard 白いタンポポ White dandelion Cherry blossom tunnel Cherry blossom petals on a graveyard Flower petals on a loaf of bread Videos of cherry blossom falling , cherry blossom falling like snow , and the last one .
