Last night after work I met with the Denya master and a couple of other friends – Toita-san and Yamashita-san also joined the fun. We went to a seafood restaurant in Okubo that I’ve never visited and spent the evening talking, eating and catching up. The master had a new smartphone that he was playing with, and he joked that he was a “digital” kind of guy, rather than the other “analog” guys. He was also glad to hear that my folks are coming to visit in March – we’ll definitely have to have a party at Denya while they are here. The bad news was that I came home reeking of cigarette smoke from the other customers in the place. Thankfully Fabreeze is easily available.
