Ahh! I have new #pottery photos! Been trying to make tokkuri or sake bottles for hot sake.
Not the easiest thing to make, so I ended up failing a couple more times before settling on just the one plus a small cup and a generously sized ramen bowl.

Haven’t cracked open the box yet, but I just picked up the Weber BIRD from the Sunny George cafe here in Kyoto, designed by the owner of the cafe no less.

Finally managed to score a couple of bottles of mead from my friends meadery in Tokyo. Ever since I tasted Wicked Way Mead about 7+ years ago, I’ve been trying to get my hands on some bottles for ages. They’ve always been very limited batches however. This is absolutely delicious!

Had an urge to replay Dragons Dogma 2 on PS5.
Then I remembered CAPCOM made the dumbest, anti-player decision ever.
It’s absurd that in this day and age you still can’t have more than one save and if I want to start again, I either have to complete the game with my current save or wipe it.

Back at Cafe Kocsi in Kyoto for my usual, this time however I’m topping it all off with a deadly crème brûlée. If I die, I just want this photo chiseled onto my tombstone.

Stumbled across a small pottery exhibition on my way to Sunny George for coffee. Came away with a really nice cup to add to the collection.

Been thinking about this Ginger and lemon tea for days. I’m going back to Cafe Kocsi in the next half hour. Come join me for a late lunch in Kyoto!
