Rain's Birthday at Osaka

This weekend we celebrated Rain's birthday at Osaka -- a Japanese restaurant where they cook your delicious meal on a grill right in front of you.

Rain is on the right, her sister, Sayo, is in the middle with her husband JD.








Here, I have my chopsticks (which I am getting better at -- it is a necessity here as many restaurants don't set the table with cutlery), my Sake (Japanese wine) and Asahi (Japanese beer).









Our chef put on a great show. Here he demonstrates his dexterity by catching shrimp tails in his hat.











We had a great time and were thouroughly stuffed at the end of the meal.

Here is Mike drinking his Sake. He thinks it tastes slightly like Tequila.
