We took Yoko and Nana out to dinner for Mothers’ Day. Not far from our house in Shunan, there is an Italian Restaurant. I pass it every day driving to gym and have often wondered what the food was like.
I was rapt when Yoko chose this restaurant as the one she would like to go to to celebrate Mothers’ Day. Nana went ahead of us to make sure we could get in as we hadn’t booked. Luckily there was room to take us all but we were seated on two separate tables. Why couldn’t we move them together, you ask? Because no one has ever done that before so therefore you cannot do it. Change is something that happens with glacial speed in Japan.
The food however was absolutely delicious and the service was first class. Mami and her mum selected a set course of sashimi, small but unbelievably tasty, grilled chicken in red wine sauce, perfect, and then a main of pasta with chicken and mushroom in a basil cream sauce, absolutely sensational!! Desert followed, a peach sorbet with chocolate mud cake and a latte`.
One of the best meals we have had this trip. Mami and I will be going back again before we leave. It really was first class and Yoko and Nana had a great Mothers’ Day celebrating with the family.
