Japan Adventure

This delicious soup (asparagus or spinach?) was decorated with cream & croutons. Notice that the yeast rolls are heart-shaped. Aw . . .


Next was a delicious salad with smoked salmon. Look how beautiful all the china is!


Then everyone got the seafood course -- no matter what entree was ordered. It's a puff pastry in the shape of a good luck crane (like all the origami ones we see all the time). A cooked shrimp head & tail form the bird's head & tail & the pastry, shaped into wings on each side, is stuffed with shrimp & crab & swims in delicious cream sauce. I'd forgotten how wonderful this is!
