Japanese Tomatoes

I love the cold sweetness of the fruit. It is a really refreshing appetizer to begin a meal with.

I've come to realize that when I dine at Japanese restaurants, I'm not fond of tempura, kushiage, robatayaki. I can do a teeny amount of steamed items. But my preference is rather strictly sashimi and sushi. These are my favorite sort of food ever.

A cold starter, a sushi platter and a hot soup to end off the meal. That to me, is an absolute comfort after a brain-draining work day.
