Poor guy asked for a smoky cocktail.
He's getting Caol Ila 12 and Laphroaig 21 (not a typo!) in the same cocktail.
I swear this guy is just a little bit unhinged — in the best way possible.
Definitely my last cocktail in Tokyo now.
I think.
Sidecar variant made with 1976 Nismes-Delclou Armagnac. Omakase indeed.
A real (palate) killer as my last drink in Ben Fiddich and in Tokyo. 3/4 ingredients are >45% ABV, but that aside, it's amazing. Oily, sweet, spicy, and a tiny bit salty.
Matsusaka teppanyaki tonight, with a slice of A5 Kobe beef to go with it. Amazing, with a half-bottle of Barolo.
Oh my. Vault Coffee is…awful. I've never seen Cup of Excellence beans abused in such a manner.
Similarly, it's rare to see, on an open counter, dishcloths being boiled in detergent next to the kettles containing water for brewing coffee. In a closed kitchen, I'm sure it happens, but when everyone can see?!…
Sigh.
My first good coffee in a week at Obscura (Akihabara). Very fortunate that they're open today. The dark period that is New Year is coming to an end…
5 hours alone. Going to wander around Akihabara for a bit then see if I still want to get that Happy Hacking keyboard (JP version)…
@matigo Ah. I'm lucky that, since the people I work with don't really do after-hours email themselves, I have no obligation to do it myself.
