That's a special bar for sure - he's been there 24 years and wish him more.
Anyways, I had taken along from my hotel after dinner a bit of mezcal that I was packing for another friend, so I aliquoted him a bit of each for a taste, with notes. He said he would try it on Sat (it was Thursday night and he had to bicycle back home).

Jonangu was in my bookmarks and high in my mind thanks to @camelliakyoto
Between that and the pic that my collaborator showed from his Sunday visit, I was spurred on my otherwise impromptu trip! So what if the plum blossoms were allegedly gone - it was still a treat!

Ok last bit of work on computer - grading and submitting before boarding! Haneda free wifi is fast!

In Haneda now, got through security etc - not totally unscathed. I suppose international works differently - bag got flagged and I had to discard the small packs of misos I had stuffed in. šŸ˜‘ I tried saying these were not liquids but young lady kept staring at me with sad eyes till I said ok please take it. Oh well not a huge loss.

Oh hey not just 7-11 there's a Soradonki here in terminal 3 in Haneda. Ok kit kats for lab and also class procured.

Oh wow. Got back in my original seat when descent started. Stewardess came and gave me three ANA postcards and a pack of small candy. One postcard with Fujisan!

Mostly (ā…”) empty flight, so after seat belt sign went off went over to other side of plane empty window seat.
Ha. Fuji-san was on the side I was originally on. Stewardess said come back here you can see, I leaned over one person and took a pic. Then another stewardess in front asked me to come forward to middle of plane - no seat, exit row and said you can see here and take pictures. So here you go!

Oh! No window window-seat! That's a first!

I'm getting decent at estimating suitcase weight!
Was prepared to remove a small object or so to backpack/carry on if needed but don't have to - 23 kg/50 lbs is allowance.
