Yesterday we stopped into a tiny house along side the road near Nakijin-jo, which turned out to be an English tea room, decorated for Christmas. I think we’ve heard Christmas music nonstop since we arrived in Japan. Anyhow, the place also had udon, naan and Japanese curry, and pasta. I chose to have the linguine with clams, which I was afraid would be bland but was perfectly seasoned. It tasted of butter noodles and clam liquor. For dessert, a surprise of cakes with adzuki bean. Subtle yet the perfect ending to a meal.
