Awesome pics!
I put this Derailers. Should have put them here.
Some pics from my recent trip to the home islands.
The ice ball in this Shochu is hand carved each day. It has no bubbles of any kind. The picture doesn't capture it, but it creates a kind of subtle and beautiful light effect.
Simply the best Soba I've ever had, by a mile.
Soba Shochu.
A kind of Soba miso paste. Awesome!
A little video from the Shinkansen. Next time I'll get some video as they go through the station which is much cooler. Click through and go to YT for full screen if you want.
