The friends were in town on a work trip, and came over for drinks because they wanted to say hi to Choya. Win lor. I hadn't seen them for almost five years and they wanted to see Choya before seeing me. Ha! Of course Choya charmed all of them. Ryo was at home with us too, and the friends were quite taken by how handsome he is. Choya was very confused as to why all our issued commands to her were in Japanese tonight. She's bilingual anyway, not an issue. Cheese and chizu チーズ are the same to her. Heh.
While I wasn't going to cook dinner for them, I didn't mind getting dinner for everyone at Nobu-ya. The friends wanted a casual venue, but I have no idea why they would be so enthusiastic about going to an izakaya when they have better ones at home. There were eight of us in total. Nobu-ya had space at 8pm! Hurrah. The izakaya imposes a strict policy of alcohol for every diner. Never a problem. We would simply carry on from where we left off. Highballs for the first round for all of us!
At 8pm, the kitchen was out of many items. I think it was more like they didn't bother to prep much because they were closed over New Year's. They didn't stock up on Asahi Black. Dohhhh. No oden, but there was daikon in dashi available. Fine. They didn't even have my favorite pork and chives. Grrrr.
Ordered a four portions of zaru-soba and four bowls of gyu-don for people to share. Had additional beef and potato, a steak, a mountain of beansprouts and loads of side fried dishes. Everyone was happy.
As the dishes arrived in quick succession, I gave up with the photos. HUNGRY. I simply wanted to eat. It was fun seeing the friends and hanging out tonight. We drank loads and all got back home/to the hotel by 11pm. What a good night.
