On our second day of work, the company president treated Richard and I to lunch. Along with the President's secretary, the CTO, and one of the division managers, we headed up to the 25th floor of our neighboring building. Once inside the restaurant, the chef came to ask what he should prepare. Kimura-san, the president, asked the chef to make foods that foreigners could enjoy. We were not disappointed. The meal included some tempura, grilled eggplant, a few unidentified items, and the most delicious sashimi I have ever had in my life. The pieces were large and thick, a beautiful deep red color, and a taste that was simply too amazing to describe. This was definitely one of the best meals I've had in Japan, right up there with the Bing lunch and dinner. In addition to our amazing food, we chatted (mostly in Japanese) about our experiences in Kyoto and what we wanted to do in Tokyo. It was relaxed and pleasant; a nice way to meet the president. I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to work at KBMJ. Since it is such a small and young company, there are a lot of opportunities that wouldn't be available in other places — I don't think most people get to eat lunch with their company's president on the second day of work!
