We call it a sangwich around here ;)
That’s funny. The vending machines are great. You can get about anything. Last time I was there, I found Jack Daniels air freshener for get car, the kind you hang from your rear view mirror. I am still kicking myself that I didn’t buy them.
Lorena B is the chef at that restaurant?
The French Laundry offers this little bottle of wine: Dom Pérignon, “P3,” Épernay 1969 $8,600 Shall we order two for the table?
Why not? we have Japanese chefs here.
That’s extra!
Holy mackerel, Joe Jost’s??? Do they still have ice cold PBR, pickled eggs on the bar and shuffleboard?
If I was to go all the way to Tokyo, I might as well splurge on this steak sandwich. It looks really good.
I no longer live in LB, so Joe Jost is an 2-3 time annual event for me
I remember when 365 yen would buy a dollar’s worth...

Go on Liberty in Yokosuka with 1800 yen (5 bucks) and one could get screwed, blued, tatooed, drunk and have some left over.
MY LIFE:
BTW my 1st trip to Japan and the rest of WestPac was in AUG 1957, in the middle of the ASIAN FLU WORLD PANDEMIC and it was business/life as usual.
One of the first things we were ‘taught’ on the way over was don’t eat the vegetables as they were ferlitized with human waste and our system couldn’t ‘handle’ it.
Discovered real quick that a few Asahis or Tory/Sun Tory would offset any ‘harm’ the veggies (if one got near them) would do.
In Hong Kong ‘Peggy Sue’ would paint the ships for the garbage.
In Subic Bay RPI San Miguel cured and caused many ‘bad’ things...
Definitely don’t recall any masks or social distancing on anyones part...especially ours.
Ship was a WWII style APA (Troop transport) and the Jr enlisted quarters had bunks stacked six high with two lashed to poles and the ‘safety/sanitary’ method of sleeping was head to toe for whatever reason...
Always got a ‘kick’ out of Elaine telling Jerry that just because one slept head to toe in same space still ‘certain parts’ were lined up no matter which method was used.
Busch in a schooner with a pickled egg sounds awesome!

We brought our dog with us from Japan to the US. On the Hawaii stop, I can still remember the dog howling to get out of his pen on the rear deck of the ship.
US regulations mandated a two week quarantine for overseas pets. The two week trip worked.
I like asahi
It’s cheaper if you order the meal.
Wagyu
Yeah it’s pricey but an amazing experience to eat. You can get addicted to stuff this good, which isn’t easy on the bank account.
