| Cathy's favorite Chawanmushi |
We arrived in Tokyo after an uneventful flight from Los
Angeles on Singapore Air. We love the A380, the seats are enormous and convert
to a very comfortable bed. We both ate very little; I drank several glasses of champagne
(Cathy was much more moderate). A sleeping pill put me to sleep and when I woke
up we were an hour out of Tokyo.
Narita Airport is about an hour from the Central City and
the traffic flowed very fast. Once again we were amazed at the difference
between India and Japan. Two countries we like, but so very different.
Everything in India is in chaos it seems, and very colorful. Japan is muted
with everything precisely working.
Our hotel room overlooks the Palace Grounds, but since we
arrived after dark, we will wait till tomorrow to see if we can spot the Emperor
(I doubt it will happen). The Palace Hotel where we are staying was remodled 3
years ago and is very tasteful. We decided to eat at the hotel’s Japanese
Restaurant and retire hopefully the Jetlag Gods will be good to us tomorrow. We
especially liked the Tempura. They place the Tempura on white napkins to show that there is no residual frying oil.
