i was in shizuoka the other day surfing with some local friends. for lunch, they took us to this awesome restaurant/cafe.

here’s the menu. for $14, you can order an entree of food, along with all you can eat desert and drinks. and all gourmet food and deserts..

all fresh gourmet deserts made right there..

take your pick…

i started off with the blueberry cream cheese and custard pie. and this is before my lunch comes. it’s the first time in my entire life that i ate desert before my meal. my mom would have scolded me….

then my meal comes. rice on the bottom, topped with curry and a raw egg, covered with cheese… oh my gosh. so good…

then i go for the cream puff and rare cheese cake…

then end it off with a brownie and fresh vanilla ice cream. along with the 5 fresh squeezed orange juices i drank. all for $14. are you kidding me? what a deal..

the shizuoka locals took us there and when i asked toda-san why he didn’t take me there the times i went there before, he said “kirby, little by little, not all at once”… i thought that was pretty classic. now i can’t wait to go back and discover more of japan’s hidden secrets…. thanks toda-san and takami-san for the awesome lunch…
**and the next time my friends come to hawaii, i’m going to start them off at mcdonald’s. and if they ask me why, i’ll tell them what toda-san told me, “little by little, not all at once”…. haha….

good morning on what ever day this is or what ever time it is. give me one more day and i’ll be over this jet lag. since i got here a few days ago, i’ve been eating like a pig. good food every meal. even my lunches from 7/11 are good. i finally got through to my emails so i’m pretty much caught up on everything. now i can go to the park, lay down under a tree, and relax. 10 minutes later, i’ll be all sweaty and will have to move on. haha… going to jump in my little car, drive around shonan, and visit my friends. then go back to the park and lay down under the tree again. have a nice day….

**got some clips i put together of the kids saving the little lucky piggy. check it out…

jet lagged and everything, i couldn’t resist a rare invite for a dive. luckily i had my mask, fins, and spear in my bag so i was ready and able. you got to be special to get permission from local fishermen so when ever i get the green light, i’m on it…. dive first, surf later…

after picking up abalone, sazae, and some fish. i’m just thinking about cracking open a cold beer…

if you dive without permission in japan and get caught, you will go to jail and pay $20,000 in fines. but if you get permission, it’s all good. but just to be safe, I DIDN’T DIVE IN JAPAN….

getting ready for the barbecue. ren is first in line….

this looks crazy yeah? but when it’s in your mouth, all you can say is “oishi desu.”
