President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who confirmed cooperation in a wide range of fields including defense, diplomacy, and economic security at the US-Japan summit on the 10th (local time), released a friendly two-shot and showed off their honeymoon alliance by establishing a ‘global partnership’. did. The day before the meeting, the two leaders had an informal dinner with seafood at a restaurant favored by President Biden and his wife.

According to the Yomiuri Shimbun on the 11th, four people, including Prime Minister Kishida and his wife Yuko, and President Biden and his wife Jill, had a private dinner at a restaurant in downtown Washington on the evening of the 9th, the day before the summit.

The newspaper reported that at the Biden couple’s “favorite restaurant,” they savored the crab cakes, a specialty dish made with crab, and began to talk about their personal interests, hobbies and family.

While heading to the restaurant, inside the US President’s private car ‘Beast’, President Biden suggested ‘two shots’ to Prime Minister Kishida. Yomiuri reported that the two leaders posted photos on their respective social media platforms

In general, dinners between leaders tend to attract attention for their menu or cuisine, but the venue for the dinner between the two leaders, Biden and Kishida, attracted more attention.

Jiji News said, “The place chosen as the venue (meal place) is a restaurant with a connection where it is said that his wife Jill urged Biden to make a decision when he was hesitant to run for president in November.” “It is a perfect stage setting for Biden, who is aiming for a second term as president of the Liberal Democratic Party, and Kishida, who is seeking a second term as president of the Liberal Democratic Party, to ‘support’ each other.”

According to the news agency, the two leaders had a meal together for about two hours at ‘Black Salt’, a seafood restaurant located in a quiet area about 15 minutes away by car from central Washington.

According to Ms. Jill’s interview with a local American magazine, this restaurant invited Biden to lunch in December 2018 and pressured him, saying, “The time to judge (his candidacy) is approaching,” and for the first time, Biden said, “I want to be president.” It is said that it was a place where he revealed his inner feelings.

Prime Minister Kishida is the fifth leader of France, South Korea, India, and Australia to be invited to the United States as state guests by Biden, who took office in January 2021. There was some cautiousness about the summit within the Biden administration as it overlapped with the campaign period for the U.S. presidential election held in November, but President Biden chose to show an attitude of valuing allies in order to repay the Kishida administration’s policy of strengthening defense capabilities. Analysis comes out.

There are many observations that Prime Minister Kishida, whose cabinet approval rating continues to be sluggish, used his visit to the United States as a stepping stone to boost his administration as his term as president of the Liberal Democratic Party approaches at the end of September. There is also an expectation around the Prime Minister that “we want to change the situation that is centered on the politics and money issues of the Liberal Democratic Party faction.”

According to the Japanese government, the two leaders and their couples talked about their memories, family, hobbies, and daily routine. As President Biden left the restaurant, he smiled at reporters and said, “It was delicious.” The news agency reported that in informal dinners, the president and his wife often choose a place they like and treat distinguished guests in a relaxed, informal atmosphere.
