The Koto Experience

Does anyone else remember the commercial for Koto restaurant that went something like ‘The Koto Experience‘… and I can’t remember the rest?

It used to play before the movies, and I thought I caught it on television a few times. 

Strange and silly, the things we remember.

Clouds of miso soup swirl like spring. 

The commercial jingle for a Japanese restaurant. 

The ringing of a gong. 

The years of dinners and celebrations and quiet talks. 

A pair of cherry trees grows outside the window.

One weeping, one upright. 

Both blocked by the dropped shade of a sunny afternoon.
