A bonenkai is a traditional end of year party- usually companies organise big ones but not this year so Master of Ceromonies, George Ohsawa, organised a meal out at Tsuruya. Tsuruya is a yakiniku place but a special one. It's still BBQ meat but this place specialises in Matsuzaka beef- where cows are fed beer and massaged so the meat is very nice and expensive. 
This night though we didn't have Matsuzaka beef as it wasn't available so we had even more exclusive Suzuka beef- the cow was called Kazu-chan and the paper shows her family history and also a nose print to prove authenticity. Very nice meat - even had raw (Sashimi) beef and it went down a treat under the careful guidance of George.
Whilst the meat was good it seemed that some people weren't too excited by the whole thing and one guy even managed to fall asleep at the table. Wish I had caught the moment where he woke and his elbows slipped off the table!!!
A few beers were consumed and then afterwards we went on to another ar or two and then teh more resposible of us decided to turn in- yes that includes John.
