Old Enka

It was my first time at Rakuichi located in the Dempsey dining place.

Outside it looks really like a Japanese inn. After taking a few steps from the entrance, I was rather impressed for it reminded me of those good ol' days in the 1980s when Japanese restaurants really are like Japanese restaurants: Small wooden tables and chairs in a small area, enka, Japanese beer posters, comic books and sliding paper-wooden doors.

This place does have a lot of wood to mellow you down. It also plays very old enka. I like these.

The first dish that arrived was blanched daikon with sesame seeds and miso.

Simple and good.

The second was good as well. Yum! What garnishing.
Subsequently when my set dinner arrived, it was a grilled fish and some side-dishes such as pickle and a miso-soup.

These ended my meal -but the fish was really no big deal. I wonder what other dishes are good? I think having some drinks and listening to the oldies may just be enough for a short night-out, but frankly,I am not too much attracted to the Dempsey area.

A truly amazing and awesome way to end a concert:

The most beautiful event on earth was elevated to celestial heights:

Thank you, YTL, for such a fantastic evening with Bocelli:
