The Bear is on half term break this week. I can’t believe how quickly the last few weeks have gone by. They’ve certainly managed to squeeze in a lot of learning and activities since the new school year began in September and there is no doubt that the children are looking forward to a bit of a break.
Just for a change from our usual Sunday routine, we ventured out for a drive and it wasn’t long before our thoughts turned to food. The Hubby suggested a little Japanese cafe he’s seen driving past the area recently. Umami, it was called.
We walked in to find a really small establishment – a table for two, another for four and a larger table for six, all taken. They also had ‘bar seating’, though not on high stools so it was perfect for us and the Bear.
Service was friendly, courteous and quick. The Bear and Hubby shared the chicken katsu curry. I had a taste and it was lovely. The udon dish was for me and it was very hearty and filling. The Hubby enjoyed the vegetable tempura though there was no doubt we over ordered!
They were ever so kind to the Bear and gave her a complimentary dish of cucumber hosomaki which she gave thumbs up to.
All in all, really tasty food, friendly service and definitely worth a visit.
