While I was attending E3, Tai had a fever every day I was gone. Since my wife had to deal with a sick baby (and a severe lack of sleep), upon my return, I thought it might be nice a gesture to take the Mrs. out for a nice steak dinner. It's a very expensive meal ($100+/person for the best steak + drinks), but for special occasions it's definitely worth it.

Of course this is similar to Homer Simpson buying his wife a bowling bowl with "Homer" imprinted on it, but Shima really likes Steak Kuni, so at least she gets something out of it too.

You see, like many Japanese people, my wife is a foodie. She loves to go out for high-end meals and I really can't complain. Some women blow tons of dough on shoes and handbags, but not Shima. Considering that I can't really benefit from women's shoes, I'm happy to be married to a gourmet.

There are several Steak Kuni restaurants around Tokyo, but we go to the one closest to us, which happens to be located right across the street to the sumo arena.
