24 October: Finnair flight from Helsinki to Nagoya. Marinated lavaret (a kind of trout - rather salty), served with a thick slice of very tasty Bengtskär malt bread. |
27 October: Dinner with dad at Kogane Hassho opposite our house. Sesame tofu with crabmeat & water chesnuts (pine nuts and fish roes on top); crisply fried prawn legs; greens and age (fried tofu) in dashi. All yummy, and washed down with a fine Chablis. |

The food's all very good stuff. Daikon & crabmeat salad with yuzu-flavoured dressing (the white stuff on the left) is my favourite item. |
Peko's dessert selection, which is promptly raided by the bunnies.
