This entire week for me was intense.
Check this item, don’t forget that detail.. and for goodness sake, get everyone motivated and involved.
Oh yeah, participating in a major international conference ain’t easy but with a little bit of luck, lots of prayers and support from a great, energetic and “never say die” team, I survived. Since today is my off day, I will celebrate the simple things in life. A good, satisfying bowl of udon or better yet, cha soba.. and a quiet lunch with a couple of close friends. Oh, for goodness sake, I think I’ve earned my right to a bit of uncomplicated “me” time, don’t you?
Oroshi Udon – Udon with Poached egg and Japanese vinaigrette
Slurp your udon for maximum satisfaction
Pineapple slushy
Cha soba – Cold green tea soba, Ciki’s favourite thing to eat at this noodle bar. She loves it when the egg and the wasabi in the dipping sauce hits her head. Oooo.. exquisite pain..
Lifting the noodles high, above one’s head is common practice here!
Soft shell crab with ponzu dipping sauce
Umaki – unagi omelette with bonito flakes
Gyuniku Tataki – seared beef with ponzu

Good job dear – PTL!
Now you take me eat soba at For Goodness Sake’ ok?
wow, this is the simple things in life to you? 🙂 What happens when things get complicated?
Seriously though, the variety of food here is why I enjoy your site very much. Well done!
Work hard, play hard!
(Go Ciki!)
Had a nutty week myself too… and there’s still another day of it left, gahhhh! I need some udon to slurp the pain away!
congrats on making it through a terrible work week! we all need some light at the end of the tunnel. here’s hoping for more relaxing months ahead 😀
What is it about runny eggyolks on noodles that’s so deliciously magnetic huh huh huh??!
As much as I love Japanese food and the runniness of egg yolks and the udonness of udon and the sobaness of soba, the heart of this post for me is rightfully your story of the stress and the madness before an event, the planning and the preparation, all captured in a few words, and the job well done after that, the view and the ribbon-cutting and the confetti…
Sometimes life feels like overdrive (it certainly has, of late) but it’s the small things in the few, tired hours after that that makes all the difference. That makes it worth while.
*hug hug*
