the ikebana is lovely. what a nice place!
wow! i’m about to die of envy. it’s great that you were able to get out of the city as a surprise!
everything looks so delicious and so immaculately presented. I can imagine the little pops of the salmon roe even as I look.
Oh, I still can’t forget the bento I had on one of the many bulletin trains we took….some of the freshest crab I’ve ever had – on a train! One of my favourite Japan memories. The rest of the food looks delicious too! Well done for making me want to jump back on a plane again even though I’ve just got back from one!x
Dear god, this food !!!! how can food even look so delicious ?

Happy New Year Tommy! I am so in love with your photos ( I can’t remember how many times I’ve said this). They make me smile! Thanks!
晚了，还是要说一句；happy new year！！
第三张照片上的裙子好漂亮啊！还有生鱼片，我最近超迷，店里吃太贵，我自己买了鱼来做，以我的实践证明了店里卖那么贵还是有道理的。
oishiiiiii ~~
