HAI!
Evenings here, Konichiwa!
The gajin came to town.
The gajin came to town.
Itadakimasu opens.
Serving ocha all around.
Itame holds in his hand
suribachi, surikogi.
While geta waits till orders up,
Una-don, norimaki, ebi.
Omakase for best friends
tazuna rolls, sashimi.
Futomaki won't be enough
the gajin still are hungry.
Yum, Yum, so good hai?
Okonomi, ocha more?
Domo arigato,domo.
Gochiso-sama, sure!
