Lennon Juice

If you thought that the Lennons left a footprint only in the music world, think again.

The union of John Lennon and Yoko Ono was not merely an inspiration for the song entitled "The Ballad of John and Yoko" which was the last #1 single in the UK chart but also a trend setter in the arena of love: Eurasian marriages.

There is just something interesting in mixed marriages, the blending of the East and the West. It concocts cocktails of creativity that put the whole world in stupor. Take for example, John and Yoko's Bed-in for Peace campaign. What could have inspired this couple to use "bed scenes" as a jumping board for a peace campaign?

John and Yoko can be an inspiration to many, including restaurateurs. Take for example, John And Yoko in Greenbelt 5, Makati.

The Japanese sushi presented in this cyber-chic restaurant, with interiors seemingly inspired by eclectic restos in Soho, New York and shades of red that appear to arise from the Nippon flag, give that feeling of being in the WEast - neither West nor East but somewhere in between. It is an enclave unknown to man yet a mystery wanting to be uncovered. It lures the taste buds and beckons passers by to come and experience this ethereal Japanese dining experience.

A must-try is the New York Fried Maki (see second photo above). This is so Soho!!! The sheet-thin crunch of the batter-coated nori wrapper around the sumptuous sushi can give the mouth a sensei-tion like no other. Another favorite is their Tuna Salad - the right lightness and the subtle crunch to start off a fabulous dinner. End it with the signature John And Yoko Blue Iced Tea and Red Iced Tea...and be inspired with the creative Lennon juice!
