Komachi Shak Dinner

Eighteen people attended dinner and the musical soiree of Bronwyn on shakuhachi and Shoko on koto at Komachi Japanese restaurant in Surry Hills. Six of Ben’s friends including Justien and Robert Henke a.k.a Monolake; Judith, Kevin and his wife, Roy and Emily, Joanne and Kota, Hong Jun, Ning, Lara and Theo, Nathan and I. The food was doused in a generous proliferation of bonito flakes but the music was wonderful, if occasionally overwhelmed by the noisy chatty atmosphere and reverberant space.
