End of the Visit - Susono Yakitori

I took Shane back to Narita airport yesterday, and he should be landing in Ottawa in a few hours. The two weeks went by very quickly but we got to do a variety of things and experience the different aspects and flavours of Japan: modern, traditional (I will post photos from Kyoto and Nara shortly), popular, touristy, and local.

For Shane's last night in town we went to very nice but very local yakitori shop (grilled chicken and other goodies on skewers). The place is called Toriichi - this is their lantern:



This place is just a short walk from our apartment and the atmosphere and service can't be beat. We ordered lots of food and had a glass of nihonshu (sake) to commemmorate the visit.

I love the way that the sake just overflows.
