Headed to Tokyo for business earlier this week. In and out in 24 hours. A few people from the local office took us out to dinner to a Ninja restaurant. A theme restaurant that locals probably think it tacky, but which was insanely fun. We entered a tiny room and waited for our Ninja guide, who used a paper lantern to guide us through a dark, cramped maze. We were climbing over bridges, under overhangs, deep into a cave until we finally reached our dining room. Shoes off and slippers on. Each course had something exciting in the way it was prepared (soup cooked with hot rocks), presented (clams with a fuse on the plate that they lit and then exploded) or tasted (something that looked like tofu, but tasted super fishy-gag). Photo below was one of our desserts. Bonsai tree was pie crust and ground was pudding. Then a magician Ninja came around and did magic tricks for us. Granted, we were into our third bottle of wine by then, but he was amazing! At one point he put the deck of cards in my hands, hit my hands a few times and when I opened my hands, the cards were gone and I had a glass block there instead. Didn’t feel a thing! The weather was amazing. No rain and about 70 degrees. Absolutely lovely. I woke up early and got to spend some time in the Japanese Garden below.
