shitsurei itashimasu!

rach took me to a really good japanese restaurant called zenkichi on thurs night. we had the eight course tasting menu and a bottle of sake. my favs were the saikyo miso cod and the washyu beef tataki.

we had our own little private room, separated by long bamboo blinds. the waitress would pull up the blinds each time she came to deliver one of the courses, and then let it down after she left. before entering, the waitress would say "shitsurei itashimasu!" it's apparently a polite way of saying "i'm entering your space now." i've been saying it non-stop for the last couple days.

to continue the ridiculously gluttonous week, we're off to il mulino tonight!
