Since I hired new Japanese lady from Japanese Chamber of Commerce, my job is so smooth and it’s been so much fun going to the office. So Justin and I went out to eat gyūtan this Friday.

Gyūtan was created by a yakitori restaurant in Sendai more than 60 years ago. This restaurant, Tasuke, is still considered one of the best places to eat gyūtan in Sendai. Back then, the restaurant owner of Tasuke open this restaurant to use cow tongues and tails left over by occupation forces, which were stationed in Sendai, after Japan was defeated in World War II.

My best friend who loves yummy food and beautiful furniture recommended us to Takumi to eat gyūtan. Good thing is my best friend and Justin share the same taste in arts, furniture and food. So now they are good friend too.

Justin spend all his free time with me and my friends. Soon Justin turning Japanese. Yay!!

Staff at Takumi restaurant were so friendly and very efficient. Plus Asahi was only $6. That means I can drink more than usual as long as Justin approve of the amount I get to drink.

We ordered karubi and gyūtan. Both are our favorite meat. Justin loves gyūtan and I love karubi.

We ordered five dishes of meat and vegetables for grilling, salad, rice and soup, 3 Asahi, 3 glasses of wine, and a parfait to share. The price was good and we had really good time. I and Justin both recomend Takumi to you. Order karubi and gyūtan and Asahi, then you can be happy people.

I eat Japanese food every day and work with Japanese people and go to Shiatsu on Saturday and Japanese bathhouse on Sunday. No wonder I never feel homesick much.

I really do not understand why some people can feel homesick in Melbourne. Melborne has so many yummy restaurants, cute shops, beautiful parks for my dog, many nice flower shops, nice spa and friendly people.

Love my life xoxo
