Around the World in Two Weeks - Tokyo Day 2

Even though today is a holidy here (the Sea day) we got down to business. Our hosts, Hajimi-san and Nakano-san came and picked us up from the hotel. Before heading to their office, we had lunch in a typical sashimi place. The meal consisted of a variety of sashimi along with Japanese tea and miso soup. It was very fresh and delicious but I still don't like the eel and egg.

A short walk away were the offices - an industrial-looking place on the fourth floor of an office building near Ginza. After a coffee, I started training them on our system. The language barrier caused less problems than I imagined. Both Hajimi's and Nakano's English is quite good. After full 5-hour training session, we went back to the hotel and our hosts stayed in the office to finish some work. Nakano told us he made a reservation at a Japanese (correction: Korean) grill restaurant and told us to wear "dirty shirts"...hmmmm.

After a quick knap, the two came to pick us up again. This time we took a taxi because it was pouring rain and the restaurant was quite far. We arrived at a small door on a little side street and went in. This place had wooden chairs and tables everywhere with little gas grills in the tables (like charbonnade in Switzerland). After a starter of sashimi and soup, we were presented with huge platers of very thn-sliced beef. It's basiclly the same thing as charbonnade but you are also given fish and vegetables to grill. A very nice dinner indeed...
