A quickie blog entry today as we are in the airport, waiting to board, much relieved we got Akemi’s PR card in time because it would have been a major hassle getting home without it. Our only other option would have been a 28 hours flight to Buffalo followed by a two hour drive to Toronto. As luck would have it, however, it all worked out and we’ll make it home in half that time.
We capped off our Tokyo visit with lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, Esquisse. It’s a favorite of ours for many reasons. First and foremost is the food – always wonderful, always beautifully presented. Then, there’s the impeccable service. And finally there’s Chef/Owner Lionel Beccat who is always a delight. Nine years ago, he was the Head Chef at Michel Troisgros where Akemi and I had our very first date. We’ve all come a long way in those nine years, and it’s always nice to reconnect and celebrate his success every time we come to town.
Presenting, the artistry of Lionel Beccat…
Meanwhile, waiting for us on the home front…
