(Not that our kids could handle a meal that long anyway!) <BR/><BR/>Looks like it was really tasty food! And beautiful to boot.

We didn't have to flag anyone down, but in the izakaya (pubs) you usually have to flag someone down for the bill.<BR/><BR/>Take care you two.<BR/>KatK and Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375282198168168331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-6508710724735169992009-02-17T16:43:00.000+09:002009-02-17T16:43:00.000+09:00Elegant dining room from what the pic shows, and a...Elegant dining room from what the pic shows, and a question popped into my head while I was reading this. In sitdown restaurants in Japan, do the waiters bring the bill automatically at the end of the meal or do you have to wave them down? I ask because in Italy you practically have to shout to get their attention. It's not like turn-n-burn in american restaurants where they just want you to leave already.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-29969870799958307362009-02-17T16:00:00.000+09:002009-02-17T16:00:00.000+09:00What a beautiful and delicious sounding lunch.
