m36_i_a_2b_i_94_08_05{printed letterhead:TELEGRAPHIC ADDRESS "IMPHO TOKYO" Tokyo} street. She was very polite and smiling but didn't know what we wanted. However she pointed to a little very Japanesey house across the way. Its rather hard to tell what is inside, as from the top of the door pieces of torn cloth hang down to about two or three feet above the ground. You can walk through but can't see through. Pete poked his head inside and it looked so clean + neat and fascinating that I followed. There was a little vestibule all very Japanese, stairs on the right a counter or rather windows with several men in a sort of kitchen behind preparing fish dishes, a few stools one could sit on at a sort of counter. Much bowing and the proprietress tried to understand what we would like and we equally unsuccessfully tried to tell her. It ended by our being ushered into a tiny room, removing our shoes first. The room was really just big enough for us, a red laquered table in the center, the kabi???ia and flowers behind me. The rest screens. The Japanese lady left us shut in the little room and then the screens were slid back and she produced a menu, of course in characters, however she decided what we wanted. First we had some sort of pickled oysters. At least Pete thought they were more like oysters than anything else, and they had a funny sort of consistency. Anyway we decided they must be a great delicacy so ate them with enjoyment Then an electric plate was attached and a most delicious sort of fresh chowder brought in. All kinds of vegetables in it and large pieces of delicious fish. We also ordered Saké and then had rice and tea. There were also sort of pickled vegetables and a delicious bean jelly cake dessert, very delicate and the beans were in the filling. The whole thing was beautifully served. Always the wooden chop sticks one breaks apart. | m36_i_a_2b_i_94_08_05{printed letterhead:TELEGRAPHIC ADDRESS "IMPHO TOKYO" Imperial Hotel Tokyo} street.
