Japan: Last Dinner At "Murasaki"

For our last dinner in Japan, Emi suggested "Murasaki". She used to hang out with friends at another branch during her university times.

We walked along a corridor

to get to our private dining room.

The place reminded me of a tea house in Batu Pahat where I had spent afternoons chatting with my secondary school mates many years ago.

All the items were displayed on the long menu.

After more than ten days of burdening my stomach with big individual bowls of rice and "ramen", it was just nice to have small portions of snacks to be shared among us.

Next to our room was probably a group of typical Japanese male employees who were gathering after work. Not only we could hear their loud talk, we could also smell the cigarettes. As "Murasaki" also served alcoholic beverages, these guys were also drinking no doubt.

We had not visited many tourist spots but had tried a lot of restaurants. Each restaurant allowed me to know the Japanese culture better.

Our stay in Japan came to and end with this dinner.

Next year, will we gather again somewhere?
