Time with, and food compliments of, the Yoshizaki's

Sayoko and Shinji have the best party house in Japan, I swear! Best get togethers and BEST FOOD!!! AND they've taken it to "another level" further down in today's piece you can see their new restaurant "Cafe Ocean" in Hazu, right on Mikawa Bay, near "Wakiki Beach" Japan!!!

This evening here are the chefs in the kitchen!

....roasting ginko nuts, to go along with a spread your mouth would water over.

(sorry, didn't get a pic of tonight's menu!)

Naomi and her beaux Isamu were there too for a little bit, then they were off to dance away the night at a trance concert!!

While there that night, Sayoko showed us the plans for building a dome house-restaurnat...

and it is to be HERE!!! Behind Cafe Ocean. And here they are again, the lovely, and ones and only: Shinji and Sayoko

Taka's father went with Ischin, Taka and me to the restaurant which opened last Spring.

Here's the view from Cafe Ocean's patio

where we had lunch...the weather was incredible this day. It was so warm, actually it got hot!

(below is Taka's papa, Taka and Ischin)

And the food...It's like, yeah, FOOD..."Here we go again"Cafe Ocean is the "Organic Farmer's Kitchen" which is how they describe themselves. People know me for eating only a little rice, but this day, "I ate the whole thing"!

"What is everything" you might ask. Well, I can't say really, but on that sauted thin eggplant, which was on some potatoes and daikon, there was scrumptuous homemade miso. The brown round fried potato was awesome! OH and another interesting sauce/paste was on a piece of waffle made on MY old little waffle iron! Naomi's creation? Well, yes, my girl Naomi is in charge of desserts!

In the tomatoey, mushroomey soup was this pretty little carrot!This dessert below, you can barely make out the mochi, but it's on top of some cream

which is on top of sweetened adzuki beans. Then a little cup of ice cream with a crunchy yummy topping, I don't know what it was! I just eat and know~ IT WAS SUPERB!!!
