I even had a great dinner in Moscow awhile back where I didn't expect to find a Japanese restaurant. The bad-good thing was? The price was bad "I'm glad I didn't have to pay the bill!" A photo buddy paid. :-) The good part? The food was wonderfully fresh and I didn't have to pay! :-) Not many items I've not taken too. However there are two I stay away from. Mackerel, always tastes very "fishy!" And Uni, it always feels like a mouthful of fine sand. However, quails egg with Salmon roe is a mind blowing wonderful delicacy!! Japanese restaurants can be very relaxing when you sit in a tatami room with door shut, quietly eating and conversing without a maddening crowd of diners. The food is accompanied with copious amounts of hot Saki, or in the summer I like cold saki served in the small wooden box. Nothing like an assignment to learn about the foods of other nations you're working in. My first time to eat raw sea food was in Japan in 1968. The eating it was determined by the thought. "Well OK eh? 100 million Japanese can't be wrong go for it!" And I've never turned away from it since, I just realized 40 years! WOW, time flies when you're eating well. :-) Oh yeah and the saki? Wonderful! So yes it is yum yum for Ted anytime! ted -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Richard Man Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 11:35 PM To: lug-leica-users.org After a day of driving up to the City for Tai Chi, then driving up to Emeryville for Taiko (we have to come home to DRIVE the kid to some stuff), we had a nice Sushi dinner after Taiko.
