Had a lovely dinner on the 52nd floor of the Marriott at a French Restaurant named Mikuni. Our little waitress was so patient with us. She translated the entire menu, (which was in Japanese and French). She actually spoke French as well as English (and Japanese) and is taking her test to be a sommelier in 2 weeks. She made the evening very special. It is hard to see in the picture, but she had the chef create a 'cloud' of sugar strands around our dessert plates and had little white chocolate bars that said "Bon Aniversarie" floating on them. We followed dinner with a nightcap in the Zenith Lounge, also on the 52nd floor. The singer was English speaking and pretty good. Enjoyed songs such as "Imagine" and "Wind Beneath my Wings". It was a fabulous night!
After last night, I thought we needed the good old "budget" to kick back in, which resulted in one of my best best finds, since we have been here. A fresh market below the JR Takashimaya station, which has counter after counter of lovely fresh salads, potstickers and "bento" lunch boxes and other interesting skewered Japanese fare. Here was my lunch today, which was easily 100 times less than dinner last night. They also have a bottled wine and liquor section. Score!
