We went to one of our favorite Japanese restaurants, Izakaya Sankyu, where we first went last year for Mother's Day.
The fun part of going to an izakaya is ordering a variety of food. Kai loves gyoza (pan-fried dumplings) so we had to order that. We also ordered fried oysters, mushrooms, yakitori (skewered chicken), karaage (Japanese fried chicken), chicken wings, kalbi beef, and tako yaki (ball-shape snack made with batter and filled with octopus), among others.
We could tell that Kai was feeling better as his appetite returned. We had to fight him off for the gyoza, mushrooms, oysters, and beef, especially.
We filled up, but had a little room left for dessert: green tea ice cream with kinako mochi.
Everything was yummy!
Hard to believe that we have been a family for 11 years now... my how time flies!
Happy Anniversary to all of you! Dinner looks wonderful! I'm glad you were feeling better, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Betsy! The food was great, and it was nice that after three weeks of illness, we were all well.
DeleteWow, you have much better Asian restaurants than do we. It is so good that you know how to spend quality family time. So many do not. Now that my son is getting ready to attend university, it makes me so glad I had spent so much time with my son while he was young. I have many rich memories, as I am sure you do.
ReplyDeleteI love this izakaya as it is so much fun to have a great variety of food. It is located in the northwest suburbs where a fairly sizable population of Japanese expats reside.
DeleteWe try to have interesting experiences, big and small, and enjoy the resulting memories. Even though your time with your son may be less when he goes to college, I'm sure you will still have good times together.
