The day before yesterday was my first birthday in Arizona.
Shopping at Scottsdale mall
I got a gift card from my mother-in-law, so I went shopping in the Scottsdale shopping mall.
I got dress skirt.
To "BENIHANA" Teppanyaki
In the evening, my husband's family took me to a Teppanyaki restaurant called “BENIHANA”.
The chef cooked steak right in front of us and enjoyed the performance and conversation.
The family at the opposite table also having a birthday. Lastly, the staff brought desserts and sang a birthday song. ( in Japanese ! )
I'm really grateful for my family for the dinner and birthday gift.
(There is a picture of Jackie Chan at the entrance. I remembered I liked him and wrote a big “成龍” on corner of my desk when I was in elementary school. )
(As an aside, there was a song that happened to find on Spotify about a month ago, and when I looked it up, it was a DJ called “Steve Aoki”.
Looking at the founder of BENIHANA today, it is "Rocky Aoki", and a suggest keyword of "son", I looked up and came out it is "Steve Aoki".
I was surprised unexpected information. )
That was really a fun night at Benihana. We are so lucky to be able to have all these celebrations with you and Jon. I really look forward to a time when your family can join us, Aya, and we can celebrate together.
