  • Lunch at Umenohana

    I have no ears tonight, because they have been TALKED OFF! I ran into a former neighbor from Shinjuku yesterday and she wanted to talk, so we went to Ume no Hana in Nagayama. Three straight hours of listening to rapid fire Japanese gave me temporary brain paralysis.I could hardly get a word in edgewise! And she kept rolling her shirt sleeves up and down and up and down and.... I sat there seriously wondering whether this neighbor from the past had lost her marbles. Whatever it was, I hope that she got it out of her system.
