It was actually MIL's birthday, she would have been 93.
The weather was beautiful and there were lots of ume trees in bloom.
Since explaining each dish is difficult, I'll tell you what I know and leave the rest to the photos.
Ebi shinjo (shrimp dumpling)
Sashimi
Misoyaki salmon..this was so delicious!
Takenoko nimono (simmered bamboo shoots & veggies)
Sunamono (vinegar marinated foods)
Takenoko gohan (bamboo shoot rice)
I loved all the dishes that the food was served in.
It was a very filling meal too.
I'm glad we were able to gather and thankful that BIL and SIL took care of all the arrangements.
