It may come, it might not - it's capricious after all😂

Haha, they do look a bit like sweets! :)

Hope you enjoyed it and you got to see and do everything you had planned! Have a safe trip home and hope to see you again in Japan soon!

BTW, if you guys still have time (or perhaps next time you're here), let me recommend one of the most magical places in the middle of Tokyo: the garden of the Nezu Museum: springhillstories.com/2025/05/21/n...
It's really beautiful, full of mossy statues and such, perfect place to relax a bit.

It's still a bit toasty, but I love that place when it's a bit cooler - together with Yoyogi Park they're perfect for a nice walk.

In the official Android app they stay white for me:

10個のサボテンと多肉植物

今日ビッグバザールに行って、連れて帰った新入りたち🌵
妻はロフォフォラに萌えてきたみたいから、ロフォちゃん多めｗｗ
#サボテン #多肉植物

Sounds like something I would like - a big fan of Schiopettino.

I do wonder why your hashtags are not turning into linked automatically though - they stay white and unclickable for some reason...

Sure, let me get sick and die early from overwork just so another techbro CEO c*nt can get another mansion and tweet 200 times per day about how hard he's always working in between all the meditation retreats, luxury flights and lavish cocktail parties... :/

Fantastic article about fantastic wines - thank you so very much! Makes me want to open one of the few Gaja Barbarescos I still have left.

I like lighter reds a lot (Gamay, my love), but I've never tried Grignolino - sounds like something I might enjoy, thank you so much for the recommendation!

It was so much fun! Thanks for a great event and for being super nice and talking to random nobodies like yours truly! :)

It was so much fun! Thank you for coming to Japan, for a great event, and for being all around awesome!

Watched the stream live, but this one's audio quality is SO. MUCH. BETTER! Fantastic job, also, Steve and Fran right after him made me cry. Again. Love you guys!

It was quite fun! I think Taylor did amazing - it's hard to be fun and funny when you're on your own, and yet she was!

TGS can be a bit of a warzone, yeah, even on business days. Hope you had fun though! Also, my lord, I'm so excited to meet you and other team members tomorrow! Hope the lines are going to be shorter :P

Hope you enjoy it and it's not too crowded!

T... thanks, I guess ;)
Not going to lie though, I would love to see the reaction to this at a blind tasting😂

Yikes. What is that... thing?

One thing I genuinely don't understand because I'm not gen Z: is the only way to appeal to gen Z to make wine not look or taste like wine? What's next, making "wine" that's fluorescent green and glows in the dark?

Beautiful - I love markets like these so much! Cooking with fresh ingredients bought at one of these is almost as much fun as eating them later!

I am unreasonably excited for this - see everyone on Friday!

A fantastic producer and a fantastic wine!

Exactly. Makes me think they did it on purpose🤣

Pack of Japanese sweets with a funny name

Might have posted this before, but the name of these Japanese cookies never fails to make me chortle, so here they are again, this time in a limited edition flavor😂

Are these beet greens? Love them! And if they aren't, love most other greens too, so it's all good 😉

お大事に！

Humanity as a whole needs to drink more Gamay, and proper one at that - not necessarily Cru Beaujolais, but get out of here with that Beaujolais Nouveau barely fermented juice :/

This one was really unusual - I happen to like Amarone and I was happy to try anything, so I did enjoy it, but to be completely honest, if I was looking for Syrah I'd be disappointed, so I definitely get that.

Final #wine of the night, and I've had enough in me to stop caring about nice photos ;)
Anyway, this 2003 M. Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage would make me cry at a blind tasting: it was a very hot year, so it tastes more like Amarone than Syrah😅
It was delicious nonetheless!
