An
unexpectedly
wonderful
experience.
We
originally
wanted
to
find
an
izakaya
to
have
some
snacks,
and
we
randomly
chose
this
one.
The
boss
is
an
elegant
old
lady
and
the
waiter
is
a
lovely
girl.
They
don't
speak
much
English
and
there
is
no
English
menu.
However,
they
offer
set
meals,
so
I
gave
them
a
budget
of
3,000
yen
per
person,
and
then
handed
myself
over
to
the
boss.
I
didn't
expect
that
the
dishes
not
only
have
local
Japanese
characteristics,
but
also
incorporate
some
Western
cuisine
and
innovate.
One
dish,
for
example,
is
clearly
a
spin
on
prosciutto
—
but
instead
of
fresh
figs
—
seasoned
with
onions.
Other
dishes
are
not
listed
here.
But
in
short,
no
matter
the
environment,
atmosphere
or
dishes,
they
all
gave
us
surprises.
Definitely
worth
the
money.
Another
amazing
thing
is
that
this
store
is
called
Shizu.
Based
on
the
Chinese
pronunciation,
I
wondered
whether
it
meant
"persimmon"
before
I
entered.
When
I
went
in,
I
saw
that
there
were
indeed
persimmons
on
the
counter.
Then
the
dessert
after
the
meal
is
also
persimmon.
But
when
we
talked,
I
was
surprised
to
find
that
persimmons
are
not
called
shizu
in
Japanese,
but
"kaki",
and
shizu
is
the
name
of
the
boss's
mother.
I
really
haven’t
found
any
connection
between
the
pronunciation
of
Japanese
“persimmon”
(かき)
and
Chinese
“persimmon”
(shizi).
If
there
is
no
connection
per
se,
it
would
be
really
amazing.
