I think I'm going to buy back boxes of tea :)
Monstrous slices of salmon (everything else was doable) in this chirashi set ($25++) which comes with miso soup and two small cubes of watermelon. The watermelon should be sliced as large as the salmon :)
He didn't want to share and we both got full halfway through :) well now we know we can save money next time!
Stirred together it became sticky and gooey and the natto was delicious, unlike the one I tried in Singapore and made me think it inedible. The bonito flakes and seaweed added flavour and the soba was the star, just cooked and gritty in texture with bite. You know it's good when you hold the bowl to your lips to slurp up every last drop and your neighbour does the same :) the perfect dish to end off my second solo trip.
