I attended my friend’s wedding yesterday. Sometimes we couldn’t contact each other with some reasons, but I attended his wedding. Maybe we are linked by fate.
He is quite a peculiar fellow. There are several legends. This time he gave me the wedding invitation by hand 3 weeks before his wedding, and incredibly he told me that there was a party after wedding on the wedding day. Normally his behavior is rude, but people, who know him for a long time, can understand it. “Oh! That’s the way he is.”
Instead his wife is mature. I guess she controls his daring and capricious character well enough. Everyone attended his wedding might think so. A host introduced their meeting and happening. I thought that’s him!!
Attendants at the wedding were varieties of people such as age, job, nationality. Most of them were his wife’s network, but all of them accepted him. It’s not “like attracts like” but close. We should surround them and did.
The wedding took place at Park Hyatt Tokyo in Shinjuku. The hotel has the best quality in Shinjuku area, therefore dishes were amazingly delicious. I’ve attended many weddings, and dishes there was the best. Of course his wife selected all of them.
Here is a menu (You can see them on a picture from top-left).
1. Steamed white asparagus with hollandaise sauce. Bottarga and herb visaigrette.
2. Provencal vegetable and chorizo risotto. Sauteed langoustine with virgin olive oil.
3. Pan-fried striped beakperch with new onion puree and fried zucchini flower. Truffle sauce.
4. Plum sherbet with crystal fruit
5. Roasted Koyama beef sirloin and braised savoy cabbage. New burdock sauce
6. Coconut chocolate mousse and milk ice cream with mixed berries.
I graduated my elementary school almost 20 years ago. Many things happened on us. He became an interesting guy. Sometimes it’s hard for me to talk to him honestly. I don’t know why. Maybe we are too close, but now I wanna talk to him honestly.
Happy wedding
