I didn't bring Tesla with me this time...so "Thank You!!" to Dav for holding down the routine while I was away. To take advantage of being in Tokyo without Tesla (where I'd have zero time besides work if I were with Tesla), I took my parents out to one of their favorite restaurants in Tokyo for a tiny bit of 親孝行 (oyakoko) [sorta like "filial piety"].
It was lovely. My parents have been going to C'est La Vie in Denenchofu for 20 years: small and unpretentious with high-quality dishes. My parents took me there once. My dad reviewed it eons ago. The chef and his wife just do their thing in this tiny restaurant, and they bring out tapas size small dishes so you get to taste a lot. It was lovely...and for prix fixe $55 per person, even compared to SF, I think what we had that night was a huge deal.
The rest is my feeble attempt to capture the beautiful dishes. In several, the chef incorporated Japanese ingredients which was refreshing.
