We had a great dinner last Thursday with our friend Megumi! The Japanese call this style of meal shabu-shabu, because you put the raw, thin meat strips and vegetables in boiling pots of water heated by electric plates on your table, and they think it makes a sound that sounds like, "shabu-shabu". What service! The ladies in kimonos were pretty patient with the kids (although I wouldn't mind leaving them home next time). Even the food is very-detail oriented and always a work of art in Japan. The ladies arranged our cooked vegetables with a maple-leaf shaped carrot on top, and I just had to have my soup and eat it, too!
