Stepping into TOMO, I take a step back and ask “Am I in Japan or Dubai”. Tables left and right are filled with Japanese dinners, mostly businessmen, discussing their accomplishments of the day.
Winding through the different areas of the restaurant I am introduced to the sushi counter, both the contemporary and tradition Japanese dining areas, the bar and finally the terrace. It’s a lot to take in, but the views are spectacular.
In true Japanese spirit, I accept nothing but a traditional Kotatsu table. And off my shoes go as I slip on, my favorite mind you, hotel slippers offered at each Kotatsu table.
Stepping down into my table, positioned I am, grabbing the menu, ready I am, I announce “Hajimemashou!” (Let’s begin!)
Going through the menu, 5 minutes, then 10 minutes and then 15 minutes pass before I can make my order. The anthology of choices is thorough although proves to be a touch over whelming.
As for drinks a definite order is Asahi Japanese beer served in a chilled long, glass, irresistible.
