We were taken to Palette Restaurant in Ebisu the first time four years ago on out first trip to Japan. It was so delicious, Jane and I returned by ourselves the next night. We visit every time we are in Tokyo. It's Sri Lankan cusine, similar to Indian. The same chef works the two man kitchen for the tiny, seven table restaurant. We talk about his family and remember that he was becoming a Japanese citizen while on our last visit.
This time we got to meet the owner, a woman that not only owns the restaurant but also works with several NPO's in Japan. They work with people that have mental or physical challenges. When she found out we were in Japan working with a like NPO in Okayama, we became fast friends, exchanging small tokens.
This multiple course dinner is the perfect end to an exciting and adventurous trip. We return to St. Petersburg tomorrow, but it was good to end this trip visiting with an old friend.
