"Shinonome-na"

Once in awhile, with a close female friend.

The other day I went to "Shinonome-na" in Nibancho, a restaurant that serves sukiyaki and shabu-shabu.

I decided to have Miyazaki beef sukiyaki to build up my strength.

The staff cooked it for me, so the meat was dropped into the egg, which felt great even while we were chatting.

The final dish of tofu and udon noodles filled my stomach and my heart.

My girlfriend doesn't drink alcohol, so this is what makes her happy too.

Snoopy and Miffy from Baccarat.

As expected, it was a real boost to my spirits.
