Molly C. Quinn Instagram – honeymoon, part one
though we’ve only been married for a few months, we’ve been together for nearly nine years, and many of our best memories, including our engagement, are tied to our travels across Japan. we began this trip in Kyoto, a place we’ve visited together five times, and we tried to marry nostalgia to novelty, revisiting old favorites and discovering new ones
we began by venturing 90 minutes outside of Kyoto to Miyamasou, invited by our friend, Taka. it was an extraordinary experience. then we visited Molly’s favorite restaurant, Hatakaku, where we had botan nabe and ate candied fish.
the next day we were lucky to come back to noma pop up in kyoto for the second time. our friend Taka joined us, along with @kyotosakamoto, whose kappo restaurant in Kyoto I have been visiting for over a decade. It was an honor to eat WITH him for a change 🤣. thank you to @reneredzepinoma and the entire @nomacph team for always making us feel like family
we wandered the streets of Gion, visited my old favorite jazz bar, and bought stationery and other snacks and trinkets. it was 60 perfect glorious hours.
We also napped and kissed a lot
we are so incredibly grateful to our friends in Japan and our friends and family back in America for allowing us this time away from work so we can spend time staring deeply into each others eyes for hours on end
