DasFollowing that bus ride☝🏽 to MinamiShimabara, I did have a bit of time after my appointment at the Sake brewery and the next bus back to Shimabara.

DasTaking of boozy* - it'll never not be funny (to me and kids as well) that last year while in <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Kobe" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Kobe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Japan</a> we used to walk past, almost daily, these 3 establisments called: Le Boozy, Bread and Boozy Makers, and Bar Collapsing. 😃<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/kitano" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#kitano</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/sannomiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#sannomiya</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DiJP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#DiJP</a>*<a href="https://mastodon.online/@SRDas/113500675665638360" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://mastodon.online/@SRDas/113500675665638360</a>

Das2/2 There's a lot I can tell you about that morning and day, and food and then night view (and adventure getting to it), but right that morning at the Suwa Jinja, everything was worth it. The great egret (white heron) that was there for a bit returned while I was at the temple cafe next to the pond and then strutted, waded a bit. I waited 45 mins or so in the drizzle under a tiny tree (didn't help) waiting to see if it would spread it's wings - and it did, to hop up to the bank. Aah! <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DiJP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#DiJP</a>

DasOn our <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Japan</a> trip last year, I got just 1 day to myself in <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Nagasaki" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Nagasaki</a> (besides the evening I landed, rest was work). Woke up after somewhat late and tiring (work)day and it was a wet drizzly morning. Still I ventured out (I was prepared, rainjacket and cover for my backpack) and visited a few places [I walked and walked and walked]Miserable weather but turned out to be a most memorable day. (see next - you'll be rewarded too)<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DiJP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#DiJP</a> 1/2

Das3/3 Ok so of course we didn't finish all that. Had about ⅘ a tray left when put together to take back (On the bus + train/subway) - <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Amagasaki" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Amagasaki</a> back to KobeAnd yes, we had and the kids especially enjoyed <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Sushi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Sushi</a> for <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/breakfast" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#breakfast</a><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DiJP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#DiJP</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Food</a> /end (will spare you more of my <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Costco" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Costco</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Japan</a> pics, we got a lot of stuff there but just what we could carry in backpacks, and there was a rice cooker!)

Here's more 😄 A long time ago I had made a pact with the kids - they would never ask me for grocery store sushi (unless in Japan) and I would grant them their wish. Anyways for ~US$40 (2023 rates) you get a whole big tray of sushi - with ikura!! So yes kid1 got her own tray. We let Kid2 have a run of the other tray before partner and I had some. Excellent birthday sushi meal - check out that smile! <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DiJP" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#DiJP</a> 2/3
