Crabs

Filed under: food and drink — adekun @ 7:59 am

Around the start of the month, the crab season begun. On the first day, I was watching a report on the TV. As the camera panned, the prices started to increase. ¥680 at first, then ¥2000, finishing up at ¥20000 (£100) a piece. The later, being matsue bakani (bagane). The prices begin to fall after the first day.
This cheaper, tasty trio from Canada cost ¥5000.

HiHighs

Filed under: food and drink — adekun @ 8:19 am

Felt pretty rough this morning after last night’s jaunt. Heard there was a gathering of gaijin. It turned out to be a Halloween fancy dress party at HiHighs nightclub. ¥1500 got you entry and a drink, thereafter ¥500 a pop. The beer cans were served up by the most obnoxious Filipinas. Got to meet a few people, but it wasn’t the place to chat. Pretty glad with both decided to cut and run, early on.
Still hot a the moment, I guess early twenties? Ended up having a barbecue. Once I teased out the slugs, had the Shiitake as pictured on the previous post.
Rather pooped, feel to old to go out ‘clubbing’
