9:09pm:
I’m sitting in a yaki-niku restaurant where I’ve grilled lots of beef at a mini grill in the middle of the table had a large beer and the restaurant stereo is playing the Carpenters. We’re on the main-ish street of the Namba district of Osaka (rather trendy, it seems)
to mention: shochu (soda and calpis for me, on the rocks for Alex)
