Where there is delicious food, there is always someone

Daily life / Favorite things I've eaten in the past year

When I look back on what I've eaten, I remember the whole day.

I don't think memories of food are just about the taste. Who I was with and how I felt while eating... those things actually remain more vividly.

I ate the seafood bowl at Daiki Suisan in Takatsuki quickly by myself. It's nice to be able to go alone on days when I really crave delicious sashimi. The freshness is different. That alone was enough to satisfy me; it was a simple happiness.

At 'Naniwa Robata Itadaki' in LUCUA Osaka, I had lunch with a friend I've known for 30 years since we started working together. The beauty of the food served on wooden plates, arranged like stairs. Eating a special meal on an ordinary day with a friend I can talk to about both work and my private life. I think that is the greatest luxury.

I ate the beef steak bowl at Shin-Osaka on the day I saw off a friend who works in Tokyo. They looked well, which was good. But, I still felt lonely. With those two feelings mixed together, I ordered extra meat. I could only increase the portion, but that was my way of giving my full support.

I've decided that oysters are something to eat out. I don't eat them at home. That's why I feel special when I go to 8TH SEA OYSTER BAR. Raw oysters, grilled oysters, fried oysters—I love the luxury of how the same ingredient can change so much. I usually choose the restaurant myself. I think it's a happy thing to be able to choose the places I like.

And, the Matsuya pork loin katsu bowl.

I can't eat it unless I take a train. But when I want to eat it, I go. I haven't been in a while, but it's always on my mind. It's not expensive, but it's truly delicious. That's the reason I've liked it for so long.

The days I ate alone, the days I ate with someone, the days I saw someone off...
Everything was truly delicious.

Where there is delicious food, there is always someone 🌿
