Diner Dates
"Once, Only once, and for one only"


23 Oct, 2004

Today’s Program
Thank you for choosing our dinner today.

1. Short Movie
Please feel as if you are in Kyoto. This short movie that introduces general information about Arashiyama Kitcho, nature of Kyoto, a room to dinner, the situation of foods supplied by actual dinner at Arashiyama Kitcho (it is not the same as today's dinner).

2. Performance of Japanese flute
It is a distinct honor to introduce Japanese culture. There is an ancient custom prayed in the moon in Japan. The clear night sky of autumn, we decorate Japanese grass tree and dedicate some rice dumpling (dumpling cake made of rice and/or wheat flour) to the moon. People superimpose your loved ones on the moon. From ancient times such a genteel appearance has been expressed with the music called "Nagauta." Today please listen to the first part of the music titled "Moon." This Nagauta begins from the solo of a whistle (this is called Shinobue). Please enjoy a performance. You can start your dinner when a Japanese flute has started.

3. Recitation of poetry by Mr. Giacomo Mojoli
Thank you for Mr. Giacomo Mojoli coming to our dinner today. (We appreciate Mr. Giacomo Mojoli 's visit to our dinner today) He has come to my restaurant in Kyoto several times and he had the opportunities of eating our dinner. He describes the state of his mind and impression as dinner, and today he gives a reading of a poem of his own composition.

4. Entree
I hope you enjoy listening to the music. After the music, the main dinner starts. Before that, since my thought to this dinner has indicated in the documents, please read it. We welcome all of you and wish you enjoy our dinner.

5. Surprise
You have got a treat coming to you. Now discover what is waiting for you…
