As most of you probably know, last Thursday was my birthday. In recent three years, I used to spend that day, his head stuffed in a law book or in my classes for the partials. But this year I have not had to pass review for this semester (the Japanese do not count for me). This is not to say that I celebrated the 21 January. Basically, I did not perhaps envy. It was one day very ordinary.
In my 20 years I had said as I entered the twenties to 21, I had just come in their twenties. I now 22 years old so I said I was now entrenched in their twenties, I started to make me "old" it's time to become a responsible adult ... or not ... XD
Friday, one of my professors had organized a "fugu * party". Unfortunately this Sensei fell ill and could not attend his own party. It was thus found between students in the restaurant he had booked. The menu consisted of four small (within the meaning of the word) dishes, all made from fugu. The first was a kind of jelly made from fish oil (and small herbs) to soak in soy sauce. The second was an assortment of sashimi fugu and things unknown to the battalion (first photo). This is my favorite dish. The third was a kind of "nabe" with mushrooms, cabbage, negi and of course fugu that was quite difficult to eat because we had to peel the flesh from the carcass itself (photos 2 and 3). The fourth and penny dish was rice porridge with chunks of fugu (which my palate has not even felt). To be honest, I did not find that fugu has a particular taste. I even seemed familiar ... Through a friend, I knew why: the taste of fugu is close to ... Chicken! (-_-#)
Still alive, I was still hungry after eating. So I bought a dessert conbination which serves birthday cake and also breakfast the next day. Happy birthday to me! : D
With my Taiwanese friend, we had promised to go eat at a "restaurant" cake that offers a formula at will. For 90 minutes, you can stuff yourself with as many cakes as you wish for the modest sum of 1450 yen (about 12 €). This formula also includes some savory dishes (Cappelini of all the sauces in particular) at will. We went there yesterday (Saturday) for lunch. We started with both sweet and salty terminated. The cakes were not terrible: they taste the same as those of French supermarkets. Cons by their Cappelini dishes were really good and much better than the cakes. What I find ironic indeed for a brand called "Sweets Paradise". Anyway, I still feel that I can eat cake ... Shall I reasonable?
* The fugu, this is ill-prepared fish can kill whoever eats it. In Japan, it can be prepared and cooked by someone licensed. Enough known, is a delicacy that costs as much.
