It's Shostakovich's Waltz No. 2.

Movie buffs will recognize it from "Eyes Wide Shut"

Enjoy.

gotta give it to the Japanese, they definitely do some interesting things with food.

and for a coincidence, some friends just got back today from Okinawa and brought us some weird flavor kit kat candy bars, including green tea.

I'd never heard of this!

Warning: the video is an hour long! (1 hour 6" ) . Watch what you can 'cuz it's highly entertaining.

As far as the OP goes, that's the kind of stuff the RG and his son or the RG and his business associates travel around the world for. I have pictures--so many pictures of the most outlandish things they order at the types of restaurants that do this sort of thing. Edible gold and silver, for example.

If you say don't you think that's a little extravagant they will come back with "well it's less than saffron!"
