A lovely little temaki dinner at Noriko's place in Meguro,
on our last evening in Japan.

Apart from the sashimi we went shopping together (scallops, a white fish, chutoro - medium-fat tuna - and excellent bonito!),
Noriko's prepared some delicious salads, and Akiko's brought some left-over stuff from home (spicy cod roe, stuffed
baby squid, etc.)
|
|
A bottle of French sparkling wine, one of Noriko's cats (sorry, I can't remember which one is which!), Peter's Pentax Optio X
(identical to Akiko's), and his glass of beer.
|
|
For our entertainment, Peter and the cats provide us with an endless circus act during the dinner.
|
Bunnies get their own little plates. |
Noriko's yummy potatoes (to keep the Germans happy? ;-)
|
Except Peter doesn't get much time to eat, as the cats keep demanding his attention. |
Here's another one waiting...
|
We spot a jar of home-made plum wine in the kitchen, and we ask if we could tries one of the plums in it. |
It's too strong for a baby bunny, so UsaKousa offer to help - though Usako seems to be more interested in the
Isle of Arran beer. (Well, she's Scottish...)
|
|
The cats seem to be fascinated by Peko's skirt. Here's one of them sticking her head inside - naughty!
|
Soon they are fast asleep on it.... |
...but then get disturbed by the bunnies who decide to join them.
