Gackt , Job and staff take a break from recording to enjoy some healthy food!

When served pears, Gackt complained that they were not Asian, and he wanted Japanese pears!

(Your Japanese culture note of the day)

The nashi pear, Pyrus pyrifolia, is sometimes called the Asian pear. It has been also called the Japanese pear, Korean pear or Taiwan Pear,  Nashi pears are widely grown for their sweet fruit, a popular food in East Asia. 

Nashi pears generally are not baked in pies or made into jams because they have a high water content and a crisp, grainy texture, very different from the buttery European varieties. They are commonly served raw and peeled.

The flowers are white with five petals; they flower around April in the northern hemisphere. They are a popular symbol of spring in East Asia, and are a common sight in gardens or the countryside with the pink or slightly purplish flowers of peach or plum trees.

I can see why he was a little disappointed. Nashi Pears are great palate cleanser and regular pears don't come up to the job.

When Anjou just won't do-

I only get those Asian pears - which are practically round - once or twice a year, but they aren't as sweet as the European varieties. Or, maybe he is thinking about the environmental impact of imported foods. Recycle those plastic bottles, boys! In any case, when you're picking up the tab, you can be a diva.

The greenery is a nice touch - ivy? Would love to know what's on those shelves of DVDs in the back!

Am I going to have to be the one here to comment on how ADORABLE it always is to see Gackt and You-san sitting across from each other while eating? I bet they're kicking each other's foot under that table !
