Cocoro Japanese Restaurant, Fitzroy

One year ago today, Gaz and I exchanged our vows in a little church in front of our friends and family to love, honour and obey till death do us part. To celebrate the ocassion, we decided to visit the restaurant where he popped the question two years ago.

The suburb landscape has changed a fair bit since our visit two years ago, but the restaurant remained unchanged. Still the same waitress, the same layout, the same layout of shelves against one side of the wall showing their hand made pottery ware for sale.

No pictures because Gaz forgot the camera and all pics from my new phone is blurry. No pictures to commemorate the big first year anniversary... goes to show that we've degenerated into a totally unromantic pair after only a short period of married time!

We had this dish two years ago - bonito sashimi, now no more on the menu. I remembered it was salty, and the flesh was rough. This time we ordered salmon sashimi instead which was better.

Chicken karaage (same order) and teriyaki salmon.

Gaz made me walk down a wall of shelves showing the restaurant's hand made pottery (also for sale) until I reached this shelf where he had pre-arranged the ring, flowers etc. It took me a while to pair the words together before I realised what it meant. He knelt down on one knee, and spilled out strings of words which I hardly comprehended because I was so embarassed with the whole restaurant looking on. And the rest as they say, is history...

Update: This restaurant is now closed
