Shakey’s Pizza, Kyoto vs Joe

There are rumours that the fantastic Pizza Emporium, Shakey’s Pizza in downtown Kyoto could be facing an uncertain future following a recent trip to Kyoto by a few members of the Exeter Aikido Dojo.

James and Lucie took Joe (known affectionately to some of his friends as tank) out on a day of culture, taking in Temples, Shrines, and for a bit of more down to earth culture, a trip to Shakey’s (we took Michael there last time and he was so impressed with the custard and brown sauce pizza… at least I think that’s what it was… that we thought Joe might appreciate it).
 
As they run an all you can eat deal, for…. well, not very much yen, we thought it would be a good way of building up carbs for some serious practice sessions. Joe seemed to think so too…
 
It was amazing, how much pizza noodles and potato he managed to get on his plate…. what was more amazing, and I was truly impressed, was the number of heads he turned when he went back for a second helping… Truly amazing! Well done Joe!
 
I think it was when he went up for the third plateful that Shakey’s problems began though…
