Reposado de Kanpai
Look what’s on my desk today:
It’s inspiring me! I can just feel the heavenly little molecules of fermented 100% blue agave goodness inside the bottle, inside this can. Yes, that’s right, it’s a whole liter of Cazadores, straight from Jalisco.
Normally, we can’t even get this stuff in Japan. Yet there it was, laying on the table today at my company’s charity bazaar (somebody on a trip to our Tijuana plant must have brought it back and donated it to the bazaar)… I love charity! So I bought it! And now, it sits proudly on my desk, for all to see… Er, to see my support for charity, that is.
I have a big bottle of tequila on my desk at work, and nobody cares!
I love Japan!
Banzai!!
Banzai!!
Kanpai!!!
Better than the Discovery Channel
I just love stuff like this: Name the Mystery Fish
My bro, Adam, is kind of a fish otaku…
Ko used to work fishing boats, so for all I know he may have caught one before…
I have a funny feeling that one of my readers can solve the mystery – go take a look!
Ferrari. Paris. 140mph.
This is the film that started the whole “Getaway in xxx” genre (plus the driving scenes in Ronin, I’d imagine, as well as that promotional short for the 350z that Nissan did a couple years ago).
Check it out: LINK
I recommend you download the movie to your computer before watching it (right click & Save as…) because the server can be a bit pokey. I figured out a fun game to play while watching this movie: Count all the Citroen 2CVs!

Winter Nabe
One of the simple joys of winter in Japan is nabe, any combination of meat and vegetables you throw in an earthenware pot filled with water, season as you see fit, and let slowly stew to mouthwatering perfection. It is also the main reason to keep using a kerosene heater.
I must admit, however, this isn’t actually a nabe – it’s chicken ramen. The egg was in the refrigerator, so I was warming it before throwing it on top of the noodles for perfect consistency.
Fasten your seatbelts…

Simple Motherfuckers (Japanese Cops)
While I was at work today, some cops came around the house claiming they were making rounds and asking about “a Nikkei (= of JP ancestry) man, Justin Yoshida.”
Coincidence?
I think fucking not. They made my wife show her alien ID card and student ID. I hope she told them that she isn’t Peruvian, so to FUCK OFF, but I know better.
Those twats are LUCKY that I wasn’t home… You don’t come after all Nikkeis to check if they are really are or not, just because a case involving one is all over the news. Fucking idiots.
