It seems that wherever we eat there's always an adventure. Last night we popped into a small restaurant for a quick beer on the way to our restaurant and as we sat around the cooking station we were soon joined by three Japanese whose were also keen for a beer. Soon the restaurant was full of laughter, with one of the women declaring that she loved fish and chips, and there was a lot of 'cheers', as we had another beer. As always the generosity of our new friends was slightly overwhelming, as we were offered tastings of their food, and the try this it's just fish dish came ariund and it turned out to be what tasted like putrid fish, so lucky I could only pick up a small piece with my chopsticks and they all laughed, knowing what my reaction wold be!!!
You never know what is hidden behind the cloth signs and the intriguing doorways of the restaurants and bars. With all this eating out we have never been disappointed with anywhere we have been to. We then headed to the old district in town and found the most amazing little restaurant. Similar to the Golden-Gai in Tokyo, where the bars are tiny, here we sat at the counter, with only four bar stools available and we had the undivided attention of the owner. We ordered tuna carspaccio, which was Devine and pork cutlets for main - amazing. As always when communication got tough, a smart app on the owners phone enabled us to talk and agent an instant translation.
