6/24 Unagi Dinner

Junko asked me if I wanted to get some unagi. I had never had it before so I said sure.

She picked me up and drove me to a relatively large restaurant a little bit north from my dorm.

It was very clean and modern looking inside, with a lot of wood furniture. I really wasn't sure what to order, but Junko took care of that and ordered for me. I think she ordered both of us the same, but mine one size larger. So, she was telling me that unagi is a Summer dish, and is associated with keeping you strong and healthy through the heat. While we were there, I took the only photo that I have of her.

We got our food, and it was good! The outside was crispy (and there were bones) but the inside had a distinct flavor that wasn't too strong.

After that we went shopping, and she helped me out a bunch, and took me to Starbucks for dessert. We always had long conversations there.
