I just had to try it and it was as bad as it sounds. It has gotta be good for your body if it tastes so awful. It burns a little as it travels down your throat and it makes you burp when it hits the stomach.

Not a remastered release. I don’t think I have posted photos from this party before.

The craziest and most guilty thing I did in 2007 was visiting Japan too many times, so here is another belated back-from-Tokyo post.
All Star Don @ 若狭屋 Wakasa-ya
I first learned about this seafood-don chain restaurant from some random TV show uploaded to YouTube. I could not Google for the address because I didn’t know how to say the Kanji name. I was lucky enough to find one when I went to Ueno.
You can order a la carte, or if you are like me and don’t speak Japanese, you can go for the “All Star Don”.
Wakasa-ya is nationwide, despite the fact that they don’t have a website. Here is the one I went to:

Satou Steak House
I went there for menchi-katsu last time, so I knew they got some good beef there.
Magical Pudding @ Ko-men
They used to call this "The Best Pudding in History", but they changed the name to "Magical Pudding" recently. This pudding is the signature dish of this chain ramen restaurant. It really is the best pudding I have had and I go there every time I visit Japan.

Assorted video footage. Enjoy!

The trip was sponsored by Larry’s generous accommodation. More photos here. I also made a day trip to Hakone (photos).

The jist of this post is, on a sunny day I went to Kawaguchiko, one of the five lakes surrounding the great Mt. Fuji, but a big cloud decided to ruin my trip by covering the mountain top. The following is one of the very few photos showing Mt. Fuji. If you are still interested, read on.
