Wearing
my boots, I met my English conversation ladies in Sapporo, where I didn’t need
boots, for a nice end of the year lunch.
They took me to a wonderful sushi restaurant that I never would have
found on my own. It’s on the third floor
of a building on a side street. There is
a sign, but it is in kanji. It’s a small
place where you sit at a counter with the sushi makers right in front of you.
The
meal started with a custard with a few vegetables in it and a clear soup with
mussels, followed by sushi made right there and placed on a long leaf, and
ending with green tea ice cream.
After
lunch, we went to a coffee shop and had coffee that was both beautiful and
delicious.
They
practice their English conversation skills and I learn about many different
things!
What a lovely treat! Sushi in Hokkaido must be very delicious. I have a prefessional chef friend who said working in Hokkaido is a bit boring - the ingredients are so good in themselves you don't need to do a lot of 'cooking'!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice with the open kitchen type of restaurants where you can see the chefs at work?
I didn't know there are such geographical difference in where the snow falls in your area. Difficult to choose foot wear, I bet!
What a beautiful lunch! The ice cream is very appealing.
