Irasshaimase!

Neither of us had slept much during the flight so we needed a few hours nap. We walked along the Koenji street towards the station when we heard the familiar shout "Irasshaimase!" and a young lady asked us to come to their restaurant.

The food was very good. I had tuna sashimi and Kummari had tuna which was prepared in some way I did not recognize. Six beers and we both ate and the check was somewhere between 3000-4000-en. In Finland most people think that Japan is an expensive country. It can be expensive, but it certainly does not have to be.

I later found out that the name of the place is Tsuki no Ya, something like The Place of the Mooon in English. The waiters and waitresses are very friendly and one man speaks English so that we can discuss. In most other places we have use mix of simple English and even simpler Japanese.
