That most definitely is the same restaurant. Last year when we went with Yoko was my first time there, and I’ve been many times since :).

You must have been really sleepy not to point out the pun in the name of the restaurant!

For those of you not all that familiar with Japanese – O Ishii (大石) means “big rock,” and oishi (おいしい) means “delicious.”

One thing I’ll also remember about that restaurant is that in the summer when you sit outside you sit under beautiful green light because the area is shaded by maple trees.

very lovely….I may need to post my own Dazaifu post on my blog – we’re missing the flea market there today, but I really don’t need to buy more antique kimono than I already have!
