Menu for the first spring outing (Part I)


Recently the weather has been quite unpredictable. For instance it's been raining more than 3 times a month, and that signals the beginning of spring. Graf organised a gathering for hanami (flower-watching) in a park near his appartment (near Ebisu). So with a forecast for fine weather, Satoko cooked up a storm in the morning - yakisoba (fried noodles), onigiri (sushi rice rolls) and nikujaga (sweet and salty meat and vegetable stew).

We headed to Naka-Meguro (a futile attempt at name translation would be central-black-eye) and met up with him and his friends. Unfortunately the flowers were rather uncooperative - just a handful of early bloomers - and are expected to fully blossom next weekend, so with the temperature dropping we decided to move the festivites to Graf's pad.
