A carousel sushi restaurant with touch screens to order what you’d like instead of waiting. Two sushi chefs behind the counter furiously assemble nigiri for the horde of patrons.

I checked in at Meguro River Cherry Blossoms / Meguro / Tokyo / JP

they’re still not all open yet… but i’ll take a partial bloom over nothing. and i made it in time for the festival!!

The Meguro River all lit up at night from the middle of a bridge, lined with partially blooming cherry trees
The same view of Meguro River from slightly further back, just enough so that my hand is visible, holding a tall glass of sparkling Rosé on the bridge’s bannister

decided to walk the river again and see how the blossoms are progressing but it started to rain lightly. checked my phone, “light rain for 30 minutes”. okay, i’ll just shower before. i get out of the shower, and now it’s pouring. checked my phone, “thunderstorm warning, rain for the next 2 hours” 🙃

i lost my KN95 mask somewhere and i literally cannot find a suitable replacement anywhere. which i guess makes sense because everyone in Japan is still using surgical masks or woven ones that only have like 80% filtration (despite advertising more). where the fuck can i buy a good mask here???
