It certainly does! Even the most suburban, unlikely looking places whip up a culinary storm. Had some fantastic, memorable meals there.
The missus even went as far as declaring an inexpensive chicken dish in some anonymous place as the best chicken she’d tasted. That’s high praise indeed since she is absolutely fastidious about her chicken…
The sooner Osaka bans smoking in restaurants the better though…
Yeah, I think that’s still Japan wide, the smoking. The government tried to introduce a law before the Olympics, but the all-powerful tobacco industry said fark you, that’s not gonna happen and they pulled back. It ■■■■■ me no end.
I’m posting on twitter cause it’s easier than shrinking photos that blitz will accept.
Great shots! I’ve never been at night.
That shot is insanely good. What camera are ya rocking? Needs to be blown up & framed. Epic, dude.
Panasonic FZ1000
Cheers.
I’ve seen that shot a thousand or more times, but I honestly reckon that is one of the best shots I have ever seen. You nailed it. Perfect light. Incredible. Competition winning shot.
Bravo.
Fck. I can’t stop looking at it. Ridiculously good.
I’m posting in between refills at the buffet dinner. Five different types of oysters being served.
I’ve done the onsen before dinner and the free sake is making me quite happy.
Should post this one from Osaka too.
Ha. Brilliant. Superlative food & Japanese ‘omotenashi’ hospitality on full display.
BTW, I will PM you shortly, as I wanna get that pic file & will blow it up to poster size & frame it. It is awesome.
Pm me when I get home and I’ll send you the raw file.
Another month away.
Shutter speed?
Sweet Caroline.
And, again, I offer you & your crew ‘free’ accommodation at my pad in the Kamakura hills. Train line nearby to both Haneda & Narita airports.

I need a pc to sort through them all!
I’ll come by for a day trip!
I didn’t know Fletcher liked oysters.
