So last Wednesday was my birthday and I’m now a ‘mature’ 22 year old :D! I was out of ideas as to where to have my party (I wanted to have more of a dinner get-together thing) so I asked a friend about it. She suggested that I should have my dinner at a restaurant that I’ve always wanted to try but have never been to: Sono Restaurant.

I got a booking for about 20 people in their 2 private rooms which can be opened up to make 1. The tables aren’t joined but you can see each other.

Everyone I asked said the food was great. I got a simple bowl of Tempura Udon which was lovely even though I couldn’t finish it (too full!). I didn’t order dessert but a lot of others did and they looked so delicious! I think the Mount Fuji dessert was the best – they pour flaming liquor over the top of it! I also had some oysters that my friend insisted I try and they actually weren’t that bad. I definitely recommend Sono for some fine Japanese dining.

I don’t get to see my friends often enough (this is a sign that I need to get out more) so it was great to catch up with so many people – some which I haven’t seen in a year or more! If you’re reading this: thank you all for coming, it was great to catch up with all of you!

The gifts people gave me were also wonderful. I now have new books/DVDs to add to my ‘To Read/Watch/Do” pile which I’m working through at the moment and some great new shirts and gear to geek out with 😀

Here’s to another year of having fun and being awesome 😀
