One of my favourite restaurants in Toyota City is a tavern (or in Japanese, an izakaya) called Tsubasaya. They have a blog where they post pictures of their guests. In the first two months of our stay in Japan, I had managed to end up on their blog twice.
The first time was at the end of July.
The second time was in the beginning of August.
This inspired me to aim at a once a month average and thus become a Tsubasaya star. Alas, my beginners luck ran out and I have not been featured on their blog since. That is, until today! Today I have the honour of being on the Tsubasaya blog for the third time. Admittedly, I did not accomplish this feat alone. I was in Tsubasaya yesterday with a big group of foreign ladies. Our banter attracted enough attention for the staff to take our picture at the end of the evening. So thank you ladies, for a fun evening and a helping hand in my attempts to achieve Tsubasaya stardom!

Hey, congrats!! š
Thank you! Working on nr 4 from now on š
*itzakaya-type. (Been awhile since I’ve used the language – even blew the romaji on that one!) š
How fun! Tsubasaya, yummmm…! Don’t know if you’ve been to a Yamachan yet, it’s a chain of itzaka-type restaurants. There’s one in Nagoya; here’s a TripAdvisor link with the address and phone number for your navi in case you want to try it out someday. š

Thank you for the tip and don’t worry about the romaji. We will just attribute that to a typo š
Dolle pret, Helena!
