Modern Japanese

It has been entirely too long since I last posted a blog update. So what better subject to get going again than food photos?

We had an unofficial Yelp event (UYE) at Yonaka Modern Japanese organized by Christina W and Arvin C. For a mere $30, we had an incredible nine-course meal. I think most of the photos do the courses justice.
