Our feast at Fujiyama Texas on Friday evening. Watercress salad, kinpira gobo, beef tofu, and all the kushikatsu. Finished with my usual dessert of Twinkie kushikatsu and ice cream. Always good times.

Look: I get it. But why would I pay $50-60 a month to read about real world terror when you can browse the very same musings on Bluesky for freebies…

Saturday evening at Bozu — the first visit of the “new” year. Started with our usual favorites: pork kakuni and lamb chops. Also got fries but thought a pic of Asahi draft was more relevant.

We got booted from Yaki Yaki Miwa before our two hours were up on Saturday evening. So we made our way down the street to another favorite: Fujiyama Texas, King of Kushikatsu Cuisine. Fried food on sticks and another frosty mug. All is well.
