On Sunday, I took the train to Kichijoji train station (Keiō Inokashira Line) to meet Sunouchi and his wife. We had lunch at a restaurant near the entrance to the Inokashira Park. Different dishes made with chicken.
We walked through the Inokashira Park to Studio Ghibli. Studio Ghibli is brilliant, designed to give little kids a really good idea of how animation and movies in general work behind the scene. Not kitschy at all. Splurged on gifts for the kids. Brilliant new short film about a sumo team of rats from a poor farmer's house.
After Studio Ghibli, we walked back to Kichijoji and I had dinner with Sunouchi and his wife. Shabushabu and Sukiyaki. Yin and yang pot. Boiling water in one part for shabushabu and boiling water with soy sauce for Sukiyaki.
Thin slices of beef and pork and unlimited veggies and sprouts and mushrooms. Dipping sauces. Raw egg for Sukiyaki. Sesame sauce and a sour soy sauce for shabushabu. Add chopped chives and a spicy radish chutney and the sauce becomes very yummy. Cook the thin slices lightly in the soup dip them in the sauce and eat. Yummy. 2000 JPY each, so not very expensive either. Very nice. Apparently the place was a famous chain.
