Mucho Gusto!
19 Feb 2003 |Last night Sugiyama, Bruce, Devin and I went to one of our favorite family restaurants.
That’s right! Gusto!
Man, like everything else in Japan, Gusto is high tech… While you wait for your food you can play games and watch movies on the table’s LCD screen… No kidding… The only problem is that Bruce always kicks my butt when we play Othello. I haven”t even won once… Well, not yet anyways! I think I’m like 0 for 30… Poo…
Now if the LCD at the table is too small for you, you could always direct your attention to the 6 foot plasma TV at the back of the restaurant… Man, is it cool! We always seem to go to Gusto when something important is on TV… So far we watched the Super Bowl and the NBA All-Star Game there.
Here’s something that even surprised me… Gusto is so high tech that you can even order carry-out or delivery from your i-mode equipped cell phone! Gusto’s delivery vehicles are pretty lame though… I’ll take a picture of one next time so we can all have a good laugh together!
Here’s a picture of Bruce and Sugiyama from last night. Sugiyama just got a new cell phone. It can take movies!
Anyways, aside from cool technology, Gusto has really tasty food… If you happen to be in Japan someday, I recommend the Teuchi Tonkatsu… Yum.
Culture Note,
We still don’t know how to pronounce Gusto…
It may be Spanish, but the Katakana is more like Gasuto… Hmmm…
This mystery may never be solved.

I like this foto. It is real neat. I would like to kiss it and hug it and hold it. Amongst other things.
Hope Japanese Samurai Land is fun. 
Check out some Shorinji Kempo stuff.
