It was a foggy Thursday morning when we embarked on a trip to SF for coffee.
Mocha! – Smooth, creamy but just a tad to coca-y for me. Slightly bitterish.
It has some awesome reviews online though.
Breakfast! – Thick toast from Acme with mocha. Yum.
I find this endlessly fascinating. Drip coffee?
This is like soo cool! The water filters to the coffee through a little tube thingy (kinda like one of those titration thingys) and then filters back down when you take it off the heat. We spent the longest time debating on how the heat gets to the flask. Convection? Radiation?
*sigh*
Geeks, we are.

It’s a most random thing to be practicing Japanese in a corner of a cafe and have the (white) guy at the next table start speaking Japanese to you.
I tossed some left over chicken and rice into a pot of boiling water with sweet potato. It turned out surprisingly tasty. I knew the Japanese rice seasoning I bought from 一番館 would come in useful some day.
Nothing, I repeat, Nothing beats the taste of Made in Japan snacks. Pocky, Collon .. the Made in Japan ones just taste better. I must say, despite being a Collon fan, I’ve never had Collon that tasted so good. The hint of vanilla in the cream, the crunchiness of the biscuit…
ふわふわクリームのコロンとても美味しいですね!!
