Anniversary Dinner

Some people think it is crazy, but Ritsy and I choose to celebrate our dating anniversary as well as our wedding anniversary. I would like to think it's because we want to celebrate the importance of that begining but I think it really is because we both like an excuse to celebrate (there was talk of celebrating the cat's birthdays).

We went to a place called Setsu Gekka. If you live in Hamamatsu it is on Hamakita Ohashi Dori next to the kyolindo, and it is expensive, but the food was so excellent, I recommend it as a great 'date' venue. We were celebrating 6 years together. You can choose between French cuisine or Japanese, we chose French.

There was five courses, every one of which was excellent. First there was a smoked salmon plate followed by foie gras. Next was a Carrot soup, here is a picture of us enjoying our soup.

Of course we enjoyed some wine with our dinner:

Next we had a small serving of Gold Eye Red Snapper (kinme) and that was followed by an impressive plate of lamb;
That was followed by some cake, which we managed to stuff in, but we were both quite full.

Tomorrow is the last day of freedom for me before getting back to work. I will do my best to make the best of the day but I would say the holiday was restful and fun.

Edit: for the tales of our end of year parties, Chris has blogged about our adventures here.
