this and that

It was so hot the other day, I tried to stay cool with a pineapple bar.

I dipped it in li hing powder while I was eating it.

So good!

Craft cola is kind of trending here, I tried this one made by Asahi, because it has citrus and spices in it, it had kind of a medicinal taste...meh

Remember I told you that the weather dude said we were going back to the rainy season?

It was true and then it got super hot and now we are back to rainy.

This week was mostly cloudy or rainy, some areas of Japan saw flooding!

Umeshu update: the liquer is starting to change color.

Slightly pinkish near the top of the bottle.

The ume is starting to shrivel up too.

Tokyo People: if you look closely at this woman's shirt, you'll see why I took the photo.

Omma Foods' kimbap...486 yen (tax included)

It had gobo, carrot, egg, spinach, takuan, minced pork or maybe it was chicken.

It was cut unevenly but was tasty, I would get it again.

Tuesday's daily case count for Tokyo hit 10,000 and hasn't stopped.

Apparently it hasn't been that high since March.

Satoshi had gone out for drinks with a friend on Tuesday.

Since he goes to work, he is probably the most likely to bring the virus home, so I told him that from now on, he should cut back on meeting up with friends, until the case count goes down.

Our apartment is so small that if one of us gets it, there is literally no way for us to quarantine, unless one of us sleeps on the lanai...

Medical people will FINALLY be eligible for the 4th vaccine…

Anyway, hopefully we can avoid this variant...hope you all are doing well.

Have a safe weekend.
