Better Late than Never!

We finally went out to celebrate our anniversary  (#51)  this week. we were only 4 + weeks late.....LOL.  One of my favorite places is Kanki, Japanese Steak House. We eat there several times a year and I always order the same thing: the Samurai, which is filet mignon and shrimp. The chef starts by cooking mushrooms, onions, zucchini and rice with scrambled egg. When the fire flames up like this, people shrink back automatically. The heat from it is unimaginable. The chefs always put on a show; clanking knives and spatulas as if they were drums or cymbals. Some of them can lift an egg (in the shell) with a spatula and toss it into the top of their chef toques. Children are always amazed by their antics. 

Here are the aforementioned foods, sizzling on the teppanyaki grill: chicken, shrimp, filet mignon and mushrooms. Boy are they good!!
The meal starts with salad and soup; both of which I could consume in mass quantities. I love the ginger dressing on the salad and the soup is so delicious.  Have you ever been to a Japanese restaurant?

we took our grandson with us; he is staying here between apartments, until school starts in a few weeks. He ate his meal, half of Jim's and nearly half of mine. Not long after that, I saw him in our kitchen, eating leftovers from the fridge. At age 21, 6'5" and 240, he eats enough to feed an elephant.

It looks Fabulous, Judy! I LOVE when Chefs put on a show as well as cook a great meal....a belated HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and Mr. Kenju, my dear.....

I laughed about your Grandson....I have a Grand Nephew that can eat like that, too...and he is as thin as a rail! LOL!

I like Japanese food---at least the kind one gets at a Japanese Restaurant----I don't know how authentic it is, but I've always enjoyed it very very much. It's been years and years since I have had any Japanese food.

I love such restaurants (but I wonder if they're aren't more American than Japanese, as I don't ever remember being in such a place during the 3 weeks I spent in Japan after college).

Nice to have a floor show and super food. Many congrats - neither of you look old enough
