Dinner at Japanese Home -- Asakusa

 
The photo above is of Kosuke, fiance of my best friend Chiemi.  He and Chiemi, his parents and his brother (all now Chiemi's family too, of course) were cool enough to invite me to a traditional dinner at their home in Asakusa.  It was the first time I'd ever been inside a Japanese house, and the food was great.  This was really the high point of my stay in Tokyo, and I'm so grateful to these people who made me feel welcome and treated me with such warmth.
