After AJ's flight arrived, we all met for dinner at a nearby izakaya. When you sit down, they bring out a little plate with some starters and then they brought out a wooden boat filled with samples of the day's seafood.


We ordered a bunch of different little plates, almost all seafood. Sashimi (raw) shrimp, yellowtail, scallops, and shellfish, deep fried octopus, broiled mackerel, and some grilled fish that you eat whole. We also ordered some tofu that the izakaya makes by hand that was really good.

After the izakaya, we headed to our hotel and crashed. By this point, we'd been up for over 24 hours. The hotel room is really small, but quite comfortable. The bathrooms here are sweet. The toilet seats are warmed and so are the mirrors to prevent them from fogging when you get a shower. Awesome.


Glad to hear that your trip is off to a good start! I like the blog..it's a really neat idea :)
