Lunch with Keiko

One of my favorite students, Keiko, invited me over for a traditional Japanese meal in lieu of our typical class. You may remember Keiko from the awesome tempura dinner she made me. She is a genuine and sweet person. Whenever I have a strange question about Japan, I know she will answer it for me.

Glenn was suppose to come to lunch but of course work got in the way, so my friend, Lauren, came with me instead.

Keiko did not hold back when making lunch. All of it was delicious!

• Tempura (eggplant, green pepper, sweet potato, lotus with nato filling, carrot)
• Miso soup
• Eel with sweet sauce over rice
• Green tea and mint tea
• Inari (sushi rice wrapped in fried tofu)
• Cheese cake (not really Japanese, but even better, she made it in her Magic Bullet :) )
  

Here is a picture of Keiko and I in her living room. I'm glad she decided we should sit down because otherwise I am over a foot taller than she is.
