New Sanno
Saturday, January 30th, 2010Konnichi wa tomodachi!!!!
In this entry, I have like a ton of pictures from when we went to this military hotel that is run by the Navy called the New Sanno. My parents took my sister and I there for our birthday like 8-9 years ago. They brought us out some cheesecake with a sparkler in each one and they were singing Happy Birthday to us. We loved it!!! So as soon as we found out that we were coming over here, we told my parents, “We have to go to the New Sanno for our birthday’s”. We absolutely have to!! So that’s what we did. We went down on Monday night, and after having a little detour, we finally got to the New Sanno. When we got there, we were walking around looking at all the changes that have taken place over the past 8 years. It has changed a lot!! So here are some of the pictures from then and from all the things we have done.
First, here is what will greet you right outside the main doors. There are many different colors but I didn’t want to get a picture of every color, for my sake and y’alls!!!
Once you get inside, there will be this to see too, pointing the direction to the main desk. Also, you have this beautiful painting.
And this is in the foyer. Notice that beautiful chandelier.
And this is a bridal kimono. Actually, it’s a cover that goes over the top of the kimono. Beck and I were just staring at it, even when my parents walked away. It’s downright beautiful.
And this is the outside of the New Sanno.
And, although we did a lot in between the time I took this picture and what I’m going to show you next, I thought it would be better to go a head and show you this first. This is what brought back memories from 8 years ago even though it had changed, moving to a different floor and even changing some of the decor, it still brought back memories. So let me tell you about it. It’s called Kikuya and the food is AWESOME!!! You order what you want off the menu and then, if you order of a certain part of the menu, and if you sit at the grill, you can see the chef cook your food. The chef at our grill was Chef Kato. So you order what you want and they bring you everything out one at a time and while you’re eating, you can watch the chef cook other peoples food too. I’ll have a picture later of the chef.
So here is the first picture. I took this one of my parents and Beck. Then my dad took the next one of Beck and I.
Then our waitress took this of us. And this is the sushi that was brought out to us. I tried the sushi roll with shrimp on it (that is a new discovery too. I found out last week at Yokosuka that I like shrimp and scallops. It’s really good), and the middle sushi roll. That one had an egg type thing on it that was sweet. The one on the left had salmon on it, but my dad said that he didn’t like that one, because it had a tart taste to it. Our waitress said she didn’t like raw salmon either, because of the tart taste. But the other two were really good. Oh and the sauce is soy sauce. And the green stuff is wasabi, which for those of you who don’t know, is a spicy horseradish and is used as a condiment for sashimi (raw seafood) and sushi, but is also used for many other Japanese dishes. I don’t like it so much but my dad does. And I don’t know what the other pink thing is but I didn’t try it. I think it might be some other type of fish or something like that.
And this is Chef Kato. In the first one, he is cooking our onions, mushrooms, and peppers. In the second one, he is peppering our vegetables. And then he’s cutting our meat.
And this is my dad eating his egg sushi. And this is right after they brought out our cheesecake and sang Happy birthday to us.
And this is the waterfall that was to our left. And this is at the back of the resutoran where this huge grill is. There are about 10 seats or so back there but I loved the background.
And here are they pictures that they took of us when they brought out our cheesecake. The glasses have, under the candles, it says Happy on the left side, and Birthday on the right. I wasn’t going to wear it at first, but when Beck put them on, the lady said, Okay your turn. you both get one!
And here is the paper that they put the picture in. Isn’t it pretty?
Well, in the next entry, I’ll be showing everyone pictures from all the sights that we saw while we were down at the New Sanno. Be prepared for some beautiful and maybe some different sights!!!
