The Exculsive Side of Tokyo

Ryoko playing the Koto, a Japanese classical musical instrument that goes way back.


Our Tempura chef, we had everything from Shrimp (Ebi), Fish, mushrooms, corn, and more fish.  YUM!  The impressive experience about Tokyo is how the people dress.  Wow!  Even our chef wore a tie.
These are the live shrimp about to go into my mouth.

My waitress, she was a jewel.


Today, our culture group was invited to Ryoko's very upscale apartment in Tokyo.  We were all so impressed with how the more affluent people live.  The apartment was highly secure and upscale to say the least.  It was also rather big in size compared to how most Japanese live.  However, the kitchen was small, but effecient.  The ladies treated us to a very upscale Tempura meal.  We had our own chef and two beautiful waitress's dressed in Kimono's.  The meal was the best with fresh shrimp pulled right out of the tank, still alive.  We then headed back to the apartment for some entertainment and dessert.  What a great experience we had.  These ladies treat us like royalty.   They are absolutely the sweetest people you can ever meet.  Ok people, we only have a year and a half here in Japan, so if you are planning to come visit, you need to start planning soon. (LOL)
