年が明けたと思ったらもう12日ですね

I thought the New Year has just started, but it's already the 12th.
もう一週間も前の話しになりますが、1月5日は私たちの7回目の結婚記念日でした。
It's already been a week, but January 5th was our 7th wedding anniversary.
今年は土曜日に当たっていたので泊まりがけの旅行は諦め、
The 5th was Saturday this year, so we decided not to go on a 2-day trip.
どこへ行ったかというと、
And we went to
築地です。
Tsukiji.
実は私もブライアンもまだ行ったことがなかったんです

To tell you the truth, neither of us had been there.
築地に着いて、とあるお寿司屋さんに入り、飲み物を選んでいると、
We arrived in Tsukiji, went into a sushi restaurant, and looked at the drink menu.
突然、これが運ばれてきました

Then, this was brought to us.
7品盛り合わせ。写真では分かりにくいと思いますが、これ直径20センチくらいの入れ物です。
Seven item sashimi plate. It's probably hard to tell from this picture, but this is about 20 cm in diameter.
てっきり間違いだと思い、「い、いや注文してないですよ。」というと、
We thought it was a mistake, and said, "no, no, we didn't order this."
「あ、これお通しです」と言われ、びっくり

Then the waitress smiled and said, "Oh, this is your otoshi."
さすが築地ですね~
Wow, this is otoshi?! Tsukiji is surely different.
ワイン


They didn't have wine, so Brian ordered beer,
私は純米酒のテイスティングセットを注文。
and I ordered a pure rice wine tasting set.
お通しですでにお腹がいっぱいでしたが、16貫おまかせにぎりをいただきました。
I was already full from the otoshi, but we ordered a 16 piece assorted nigiri set.
その後は麻布へ行き、ワインバーでワイン

After the dinner we went to a wine bar in Azabu and had a glass each.
六本木へ歩いて、けやき坂のイルミネーションを見て、
then we walked to Roppongi and saw the illumination in Keyakizaka street,
スペインバルでまたワイン

went to a Spanish bar and had another glass of wine,
もう一軒のダイニングバーでまたワイン

went to another bar and had more wine,
やっと満足して家路に着きました

finally, we were satisfied, and headed back home.
