wow, it’s been a long time since i sat down and had a glass or two of fine whisky. was really looking forward to this! here is the Mr. Inaida-san collection.

flying out of a country is always the time i take to reflect on things. the flight over, and the flight back. was it satisfying? was it fun? was it different? was it memorable? was it exciting? a big YES to every thing.

split up with Carter in tokyo. glad he got back to hawaii safely. i’m sure his mind is full of awesome memories.

then back in concrete jungle. super cold!!! coming from a third world country to japan is always interesting. never gets boring.

back to last night. omg, have you ever taken a bite of something so good that you get chicken skin? i had chicken skin with every single bite. it was amazing!

and to start off with this? omg, the best of the best for sure.

and the Ohma o-toro is my favorite. it just melted in my mouth! this is pure art. this is pure japan.

then it was time for the best whisky of the best. Mayuki on the rocks!

i’m still learning about whisky. i learned the different in taste. i learned the difference in smokiness. i learned the different in years aged. and i learned that if you drink too much, you will have a massive hangover like how i do right now. haha.

i came back home and Inaida-san was getting the fire ready. always perfect to sit in front of the fireplace and feel the warmth.

then Yuki-san made me a jack/coke and that’s all i remember. but i woke up with a big smile on my face so i know it was an awesome night! thank you Inaida-san and Yuki-san always for your kindness. and thank you always for making me feel very welcomed in tokyo. see you again soon!
