Tuesday's dinner at the Fuji Lake Hotel at Lake Kawaguchi. We had a LOT of stuff: sashimi, shabu-shabu, tempura, fugu, tsukemono, some stew thingie, weeds, fish bait, and on and on.
I also got an order of basashi (horse sashimi):
This is something my dad (who passed away about a year and a half ago) never had. So my mom suggested we try it in his honor. Very interesting. I have no idea if this is good quality but I'd try it again. Dipped in a sauce with ginger and green onions.
OK gotta let my mom check e-mail (almost 9PM here). Next update: Kyoto!

Birthday dinner at Ruth's Chris (Restaurant Row) with The Family last night, including the Mainlanders. One had fish, the rest had EVIL RED MEAT: Moooo! Baaa-aahhh!! Also healthy portions of creamed spinach and different kinda potatoes but I don't know what sounds they make.
The place was also COMPLETELY FULL last night. I mean, as in "sold out." On a Wednesday. I'm told that eating meat contributes to the global warming problems cause it takes plenny resources to care for the land that cows graze on, etc. Clearly a lot of people just DON'T GIVE A SHIT about that.
I also chose a red meat joint because next week it's ALL washoku, BABY! Japan, here we come! Tokyo - Kyoto - Osaka, March 16-23.
