#6 A New Restaurant

There's a new restaurant near my house. It's only about 1 km away. Does it look familiar? It's a tempura and udon restaurant. The prices are reasonable, and the food is very filling. A lot of shops and restaurants from Japan has been opening in the Philippines (and all over the world) during last few years. Japanese brands and chain restaurants are truly going global! Some of the other nearby restaurants include a CoCo Ichiban, Ippudo and Mos Burger. In a different part of the city, a Mitsukoshi shopping mall has also opened recently.

I remember the first night of my visit to Tokyo. It was a chilly autumn. My hosts took me to a local udon and tempura restaurant. The delicious, hot soup was very comforting. I'll never forget my host's warmth and hospitality, their omotenashi.

I'm also very glad that I can have a taste of udon and tempura, at a reasonable price, and I don't have to fly to Ja an!
