Ulala and i went to a bridal show at a famous wedding hall facility near Osaka Castle called Taiko-en on Tuesday (despite my only having three hours sleep after Mark Farina`s show Monday night). For a thousand yen we got to sit in on a mock Shinto wedding and then have a mock reception where we could try the food and have someone explain what our "special day" would be like if we had it at Taiko-en. The whole thing was pretty impressive. Too bad i don`t have thirty grand lying around or we might actually consider booking the place. The gardens are magnificent and the facility is top notch. Most importantly, the food is so good we may go back for more demos while we "consider". At least that`s what Ulala tells me. I had a couple bites for taste but my stomach was churning so much that i let her eat mine ( a reversal of our usual dining roles). At the mock ceremony i happened to sit along the right side near the front and ended up playing the father of the groom. I was so proud of my "son"... though he looked nothing like me...
Mini sake barrels with prizes inside (we got some little bath salts).
These are the appetizers i didn`t eat...
...and this is the desert i didn`t eat:
You may notice that this is a different couple, modeling a more Western style that is very popular here.
