| 7 November: Afternoon out shopping in Nagoya. Smoking in the street is banned almost everywhere in big towns, so I end up popping into cafes every couple of hours and chain-smoking. The iced green tea is nice & refreshing on a hot day. |
|
Kyoto-style dinner at Marriott, with aunts and cousin. Sea bream, tuna and (julienned) squid sashimi. |
Grilled yellowtail filets wrapped around leeks. |
My sister Hiroko joins us for coffee & cakes afterwards. My aunt's lychee mousse is delicious! |
My cousin Yukie and I opt for booze rather than coffee... her hot Godiva liquer au lait & my glass of Pommery. |
| 8 November: crab fishing season has just opened, and 2 big ones arrive from Fukui. |
Lunchtime. |
What's left over for dinner. |
All gone. |

To Part 5 | |
