Meat

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, I have been pretty busy but I should be updating more frequently now. Tomorrow we are heading to Tokyo so maybe I will have something interesting to post.

For now I’ll post a couple photos from this evening. I went with Kaori and her sister to Gyu Kaku, the well known yakiniku chain restaurant. If you didn’t know, Yakiniku is basically Korean style BBQ where you order various meats, veggies and other things and cook them over the grill in the center of your table. Gyu Kaku actually has locations in the United States also and I’m not sure where else. Check it out if you get the chance.

Cold beer and sizzling meat: perfect for a red-blooded American carnivore like myself.

Those strange-looking things on the left are mushrooms. They taste far better than they look in this crappy picture.

There’s Yuko grilling up some beef tongue.

Strangely though, one of my favorite things to eat there is the marinated cabbage. I took down nearly two bowls of the stuff by myself.

So that was our exciting Saturday night.  When we were driving back to Tsukuba we were following a couple EK9 Civic Type R’s that looked like they were on the way back from running on Mt. Tsukuba. I was jealous. s

The sakura trees were blooming pretty nicely in Kaori’s hometown and Tsukuba should also be in full bloom soon. I think there’s a law that if a Japanese person has a blog, they have to post sakura pictures. I guess I will do the same.

More soon.
