it is the season for truffle! i’ve tried it for the first time in my life last year in japan. my first impression? Yucky!!! it was stink, it had a weird texture, and it made me feel weird. but after eating it a few times, i started to like the smell, texture, and feeling. it’s like a natural high that makes me excited and talkative! yeah, talk more than i already do. haha. take a chunk, dip it into salt, and sip on good wine. this is the luxury world i’ve been learning about for the past 3 years. a different world, but a great one!

and of course sipping on the worlds best wine enhances the feeling even more. i love this place and every time i go there, i love it even more!

wanted to thank Ryosuke for the gifts from wakayama! lucky!

and wanted to thank Seigo-san for the more gifts from wakayama! lucky!

and wanted to say hi to Hikaru and Kosei-san. both who i’ve met from go-naminori. seeing photos of friends getting together like this makes me realize what a great thing go-naminori has done for me, and everybody around me. things like this are priceless to me. keep on surfing, and keep on friendships!
