Made-To-Order

 Friday night we went out to eat with Toru, Kana and Kaede (their little girl).  Toru took us to a little pizza place in Izushi, a town about 40 minutes from here.  Bryn had been there with Toru once before, but it was my first time.  The restaurant, called Sakai, is really cute. 

However, unless you have been living on Mars or something, you should know that I hate cheese and Bryn despises tomato...so pizza isn't really an ideal food for us...we usually make our own separate ones at home - mine with no cheese and his with no sauce. 

Toru let the chef know about our...issues...and left him to make us something spectacular.  And that he did!  We had 2 pizzas come out - each cut into sections...one with no cheese, one with no tomato, then one as is for non-picky Toru and Kana!

After the two appetizers, 2 pizzas and 2 pastas (I was completely stuffed!) we had assorted homemade ice creams.  The chef brought them out to us and we each had 4 little scoops, so he told us to figure out the flavors...sweet potato, matcha (green tea), black tea, and grape!!

The food was nice, and the company a lot of fun.  It was a good night and really nice to get out!!

Not the most flattering picture of Toru and baby, but none of the pictures turned out!!!

The restaurant...you can sort of see the cool pizza oven in the background.

    The pizzas are almost as tasty-looking as Bryn's Dad's!

    i love how the chef totally accepted your food "issues" and created something cool with it!! here, they usually give you a long look and tell you it can't be done!

    Ruth, trust me, they don't usually accommodate our "issues"... in fact, normally we get this look of disapproval. haha This place was very different though.

    Tim, good to hear from you mate! How's Aussie treating you? Toru is still insisting the three of us meet up in Mexico... so get saving, eh! haha
