My birthday, followed by autumn vacation

Yesterday was my birthday! I usually don’t make a big thing out of birthdays and I didn’t yesterday either, but me and Emma went to a restaurant that’s just around the corner that I’ve been wanting to go to. It was a really nice yaki-niku place. A place where you order in raw meats of different kinds and grill them yourself on a small grill in the middle of the table.

One order is a pretty small amount of meat. The point is to order in small rounds of meat and slowly grill them while drinking beer and having a good time. On the first round we ordered in some pork and some really awesome beef.

We also brought in some vegetables and a small bowl of rice for variation.

When we had finished that round of meat and the first round of beers we ordered in some more beef because it was simply so awesomely delicious and some chicken. The chicken wasn’t really like the rest of the meat that was nicely cut up for you, the chicken came like two filets in a jar that we used a pair of scissors to cut up into smaller pieces and then grill. Anyway the sauce the chicken was in was awesome so it tasted really good as well.

And when we were done they removed the grill from the table and gave us some nice ice cream, on the house.

And they didn’t even know it was my birthday!

So, all in all, totally awesome day. And to top it off we have a nice vacation next week, it’s autumn vacation and we’re planning on going to Kyoto for a couple of days and then just chill around in Tokyo and study a bit on the side.
