Today we headed to the seaside for lunch at Tsudau-Suisan, this amazing seafood restaurant perched right on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The views were absolutely spectacular! We had reservations and they gave us one of the best tables in the house. I was so excited when they showed us to our spot!

One of the specialties here (and the area in general) are the oysters, so naturally I went a little crazy. I ordered a whole bucket of oysters to be steamed at the table, some rice with oysters that were also cooked tableside, and oyster roll sushi. It was all delicious! We also got sashimi and gratin, plus I had a nama-biiru to wash it down. Such a memorable meal. Definitely recommended!

Afterwards we stopped at Road Station Mitsu to do a bit of shopping, and that’s where I saw the largest daikon I have ever laid eyes on. And it was only ¥160 JP ($1 US)! Unbelievable!

Lastly, I was happy to get my first stamp in my notebook. It’s so funny because it has an oyster and daikon on it!

Another family tradition is a leisurely walk around the Redondo Beach Pier. Lately, we have also been stopping at Quality Seafood for food. There is something really nice about sitting alongside other families while enjoying fresh seafood.

This time, the family at the table next to us was having an impressive feast of lobsters, uni, and crab. They even brought their own container of cooked rice and a dipping sauce, plus small hammers and a smooth rock to crack the crab shells. Total pros.

Our meal consisted of an assortment of oysters on the half-shell, fried shrimp, fish & chips, and beer. Delicious!
