Preppy is the New Hipster

nobu. if anyone had a tape recorder at dinner last night, it would have caught five grown people discuss various interesting things, georgia, the value of having children, life plans and other regular dinner table topics. it also would have caught each of us gushingly saying how beautiful the meal was. So yes it was beautiful. that is the best possible way to explain it. i will try to recount each item we had, but i didnt order and i dont have a good memory so it will be a lose reinterpretation.

Raw salmon starter, softshell crab spring rolls, tempura rock shrimp with dipping sauces, miso-black cod, assorted mushrooms in a clay pot, pork belly, two types of preparation of waygu beef(sigh waygu beef). kate ordered the perfect amount of food. each bite was complex, delicate, the perfect texture, the best possible marriage of flavours. the reputation of this place is well deserved. i can't possibly go through each individual item, but some memorable notes were the mysterious slight crust around the raw salmon, the light crispy tempura that basically melted in your mouth, the absolutely delicious sauce that mushrooms came in, the sweet/savory combination of the flaky black cod, the texture of the softshell crab spring rolls. i'll get to the waygu beef in a moment. the only thing that i wasn't absolutely crazy about was the pork belly, 1-i cant eat pork belly without feeling like a fat ass, and 2-the portion was slightly too big requiring serious diligent chewing.

The waygu beef came last, it was reccommended to get it last since everything after waygu just doesnt taste as well. it was so good. it literally melted in my mouth. i almost feel like i dont want to talk about it anymore because it will be ruined. it was amazing the massages totally work. i dont want o have regular beef anymore. yeah, im going to be taking a break from meat now.

Dessert was amazing, creative, inventive, chocolate bento boxes, Suntory Whiskey Cappucino(thats what I got in honor of bill murray)


i have a date tonight, i dont want to go. rachmoniov or whatever. im too stressed out. i think i might cancel. what do you think? i just cancelled the date. i know he wants me, so I'm not that fussed about it. i dont know. im stressed out, and need to clean the apartment and go running this evening. this is the right decision, eating excessive amounts of goat cheese on my protein omlette was not the right decision.
