...sashimi and snow!


And so to a 6.15 meeting on the 49th floor of an office block with the CABE Study Group, a highly skilled and experienced collective of academics, local and national government planners, design consultants and journalists, with the mission of promoting "good design in the field of architecture and the built environment".  We listened to a very interesting presentation about the groups aspirations for design review, enabling and built environment learning programmes and told them about our work back in the UK.

Discussions about our work continued over dinner, kindly hosted by the CABE Study Group, and which is best described as follows:



We started with a dish of mushroom, yam and potato, followed by tofu and spring onion.  Then...

Sea bream sashimi

Sea bream teriyaki

Yellow tail, carrot, horseradish and mange-tout

Special Kyoto potato prawn-shaped tempura with seaweed


Saki

Sea bream and rice with green tea soup stock

Rice cakes with red bean sauce
So a great evening, and happy and slightly heavier, we travelled down 50 floors to find Tokyo covered in snow!
