On Friday, two tickets arrived from Srarbucks coffee Japan, of which I am a stock holder. They have been sending me the complementary tickets once a year, which can be used for any drink served there.
After taking Maya-san out for a walk, it started raining. Katya and I went to Starbucks for breakfast.
Katya ordered milk chai and I caramel macchiato.
After breakfast, Katya and I came back to take a rest for a while, and went our again leaving Maya-san home.
First we went to Kojima electric shop to buy some batteries.
One is used for a cordless phone handset, two for my camera and the smallest two for my electric masseur.
They we drove to a French restaurant, “Ryu“, in Koshu city, which an adult student of Katya recommended.
The restaurant was in a Japanese-style house. We took ours shoes off and were directed to the dining room.
We were seated by the window. A small Japanese garden was seen.
They only serve courses for lunch. We took the cheaper ones with glasses of wine.
They served a salad, soup, the main dish (ground pork wrapped with beef), desert and coffee. I forgot to take a picture of the main dish. The taste was not as dense as I expected, but delicate.
I would not say the foods were close to genuine French dishes. However, the restaurant people tried their best to serve a 1,200-yen course. The atmosphere, as well as service included, the course should be valued more.
Even though, there were some points to be mentioned.
- Not enough space for tables.
- No napkins.
- Knives were not sharpened enough.
Katya gives 4 out of 5, but I give 3.5. With dull knives being served, I cannot give 4 points.
However, for the price, the foods and the atmosphere were very good. We will try to visit the restaurant again.
