for my brother’s graduation dinner, we ate at genji. it’s a typical japanese steakhouse where a (most likely) non-japanese person cooks you very un-authentic japanese cuisine hibachi-style. when my mom was still with us, we would frequent this place for special occasions – birthdays, mother’s days, stuffing our face with YUMYUM sauce anniversaries, etc. it’s […]
