I've been back in Japan since December 8 for two weeks. It's been very busy with limited email access, but I can finally start updating my blog with some food photos since I came back here.
Jason came with me this time and we've been having a great time with my family. We arrived in Urawa from Narita Airport in the evening of December 8. It was so wonderful to see mom, Tomoko (my older sister) and Wataru (her son). Upon my request, we went to a local izakaya (Japanese pub) for a casual first night dinner.
We ordered a bunch of different dishes and enjoyed with sake and shochu.
