At the end of the night, as the group was leaving (finally) I was called on to give a few words of encouragement to the staff of the new restaurant. Instead, I rallied everyone to do an impromptu version of the samurai call to war, the
Kachidoki, where swords are drawn (imaginary in this case) and the call of "
Ei, Ei, OOh! " is called three times!

Staff and guests all took part in the traditional call to war,....

Despite being on his last legs, even the boss, Matsumoto San joined in,...

The pre-opening test event was supposed to have finished by 9:30pm, (10 at the latest,) but we didn't leave the premises until after 1am,... Sorry to the staff...and Thank You! Shoan opens Monday 16th in Fushimi, Nagoya, near the Hilton Hotel.
