There's no place like home...

Last week I ventured back to Tokyo. I sampled some fantastic food and sake and had the chance to visit some really good Izakayas. As one always does on a holiday (especially ones re-visiting homeland) I ate and drank too much but fortunately not feeling the aftermath except nostalgia for times gone by.
