Tuna Day in Tokube

Today is Thursday, or “Tuna Day” in our favorite sushi restaurant, “Tokube”. I succeeded in taking photos of all the plates we ordered (I normally was busy eating, and forgot some).  I proudly  show you all the photos in the series of our order. Our desserts. And all the dishes. Gee, I forgot to take a picture of one plate!!!

Wasabi and Gari

Today is the 19th, the Tokube day, when they give 19% discount tickets.  So did we go. I show you today what we have besides sushi. Quality of the tea powder is good in this restaurant.  We make tea from hot water and  tea powder ourselves. It was a bit cold this evening, so we had miso soups, or bean-paste soups.  Katya’s with crams and mine with cut fish meats. A small red bottle is of red pepper. We like wasabi, a Japanese horse raddish, and ask extra all the time. It is not common for everybody. Soy source and chop sticks are essential. Gari, or vinegared gingers, go well … Continue reading

Tokube Day

This evening, we went to our favorite sushi restaurant, “Nigiri no Tokube“. Today is Tokube Day, when we get a 19% off coupon. Our appetizer. Our desserts. When we entered, the restaurant was almost empty. We were worried because restaurants bankrupt these days.  We missed one good Chinese so we do not want to miss another one. When I asked the manager, he said Tuesday is the least busy day.  Customers gradually increased, so we were relieved.

Hakone, Hatsushima, Snorkeling

It was a pleasant morning with a pleasant breeze.  I took these photos from the windows of our room. After having breakfast, we left Resorpia Hakone for Atami port. We took a boat to Hatsushima island. For taking a boat to Hatsushima, I used free tickets for stock holders, which I had purchased at the Yahoo auction. We arrived at XIV Hatsushima Club hotel at 1 PM. The room was not available yet, so we had refreshments at the lounge to relax for a while. We had lunch at an Italian restaurant, “Porto“. In XIV Hatsushima Club, they give us 50%-discount coupons for lunch, and we took the advantage. We … Continue reading

Second day – Have a good weekend!

It is 6 AM and I am preparing for the lecture at 9 AM. This evening, Maya-san takes a vacation in Shimosuwa with my parents, and Katya and I leave for Hakone and Hatsushima. In both hotels, there is no internet available.  So there would be no posts. Have a good weekend!

Sushi Catalog

It rained whole day.  I was working for 13 hours on preparing for the conference.  I show you the reception waiting for the participants tomorrow.  I took this picture with my cell phone. I am in charge of twelve rooms. Today is a tuna day, so we dined at “Tokube” using the 19% discount coupon.  Following is what we had.       Peple in Tokube know us and they treat us in a friendly way, so it is always a pleasure visiting them.

How to save money at a sushi restaurant

Katya and I are regular customers of a sushi chain-restaurant by Kofu, “Nigiri no Tokube“, with a rotational belt for sushi plates, not very expensive, but not too much “automated”. At the restaurant, Thursday’s a tuna day (tuna is our favorite as of everybody), and all tuna plates are cheap.  Plus, on the 19th, they give customers a 19% discount coupon, which is valid within a month.  Today is Thursday the 19th, so why not go? Everybody knows sushi, so instead of sharing our pleasure this evening, I give you tips to save money. When the payment came, the price  was  4,084 yen.  I showed an internet coupon printed out at home.  That … Continue reading
