Just finished my 3 day weekend~ can never have enough of it ^_~
Started off with company’s dinner on Friday night, drinking and karaoke session all night long
Funny how in New Zealand we would start drinking round midnight and surrender the next morning
but in Japan it’s the other way around
Started drinking from 6.30pm! Hahahaha beer makes me full! But that’s the culture (;


Sashimi Platter – Enkai


Prosciutto Wrapped Veges and Fruits


Fish Cake / Tofu thing? Let’s call it the European Kamaboko haha


Raw Sushi Platter


Satoimo Imonoko Kai (Potato Party) – Famous in Iwate


Beef Tataki + my colleague’s fingers -_-


Coconut chicken casserole dish

After the company’s dinner – we had to Climb for some cocktails then Zeque for non stop drinking session 1580yen + Japanese stick food


Assorted Kushi Yaki – our favorites are the nankotsu and gizzards


Kushi Katsu mixed platter

Day 2

1000yen brunch at Ermitage once again


My fav. prawn salad


Chicken thigh with mushroom-ish sauce all over


Raspberry sorbet

After brunch and washing the car squeaky clean, we were off to Sendai!
Happy that we got to see Yosakoi Matsuri, sh1t loads of people dancing, no chance to snap a pic, overly crowded


Pity the pita bread at this kebab stall was too hard! :/


150yen Gyu-tan, cheap and tasty


Near midnight we head to Kokubuncho – Sendai’s little street of nightlife

Went to Club Shaft, 1500yen entry fee with free drink, after 2 tequila and vodka/redbull I was happy, but not with the music ;/
Spent the night in the Ark Hotel, the indoor baths are awesome! but not the beds, hard like a rock, was my 2nd time there, didn’t recall it was that bad, probably won’t go back anymore

Ermitage French Cuisine

One of my favourite restaurant in Mizusawa would be Hermitage Ermitage! Genuine French cuisine at affordable if not ridiculously cheap price! (especially at lunch time)
This place has a warm atmosphere and decorated with a Victorian theme, service is fast and friendly (;
Today at lunch time I went for the Deluxe 3 course set lunch @ 1500yen – 2 course menu (pick your dishes) @ 1000yen


French fish cake with cabbage and salad – crayfish in the middle


Creme of corn soup
Deliciously rich and creamy


Well-Done steak served with rice
Didn’t feel like medium well today as my last experience was a very bloody one lol
Mashed potato, eggplant on the side


Close up
nom nom nom


Finishing off with a baked cheesecake and an elegant cup of hot English Breakfast mmmm washes down the sweetness
This place is always full house esp. during lunch hours, must come early to grab a seat

Today is Sunday! My only day off and I got a major headache from sleeping 10hrs+ ! LoL well that didn’t stop me from driving to Morioka-Minami, a place 30+mins drive away (61km)

I was craving for shabu-shabu and where is the best place in Iwate? That would be Jyu Jyu, they have another branch in Aeon, Izumi, Sendai

It’s fun to dine there because you cook it yourself and tastes yummy! Service is friendly and fast!

You have a selection of beef, pork, veggies!
Choose 2 from 4 soup base – Tonkatsu Pork Bones, Spicy Szechuan, Seaweed and Tofu
We chose Tonkatsu – because the soup is really tasty, and Spicy Szechuan for that Chinese steamboat-ness haha
Includes drink bar too (all you can drink)
Mmm my favourite Bak Choy! LoL they are expensive in the supermarkets here

Alternatively, you can opt for Sukiyaki! Prices are 1500yen (1575yen taxed) for 90mins all you can eat from when you start! After 5pm is about 2000yen for 120mins

  

Can’t wait to bring my family here!
