Good lunch days

It's been awhile so it was fun to have lunch with A. again at the Prince Hotel the other day.

We opted for the curry lunch instead of the buffet.  Both the seafood and beef curries were very good.

   

Still happily clueless

We go back all the way to Tokyo expat days.  She showed me her new iphone6.

 (I thought I already explained
how to do this!)
 

Today we had a quick lunch at Jimbo's.
We get these cravings for Cold Kama
age Hosoudon Tempura.

A. demonstrating how to manage
the long noodles.

   The owner, Mr. Jimbo, walks around talking to the customers.  He explained to us how hot Kamaage Udon is good for a pick up when you have a cold or are tired.  The iced version is great for hot, humid days.  He makes the udon noodles, then cuts them to make them thinner.  He also told us about the types of soy sauce he uses -  tamari , usukuchi and marudaizu (whole soy beans),  and his new Shrimp Tempura Donburi (rice bowl) sauce.
