Obama makes the best fish in the world!
I had work in Obama, Fukui Prefecture so I've hogged this 7 days 7 minutes with some drives, panoramas and a little left over work footage of the town, the surrounding countryside and it's primary delicacy. Fresh grilled fish.
There is a dash of Tokyo in there too for those of you who like the big, boring city.

The leaning sweets shop of Nagasaki
Iwanaga Baijuken in Nagasaki is a shop that makes and sells traditional Japanese sweets and confectionaries. It's been at it since 1830.
The store as it stands now was built in 1902.
The sweets lineup runs the gamut from classical recipes to modern reworkings of those recipes.
But beyond the traditional deliciousness. What struck me, were two 5 yen coins suspended from strings on one of the shop's central supports.
The pull of gravity means the strings are perfectly veritcal, But the posts aren't.
The shop has had this slight lean since August 9th, 1945.

Odawara Ramen - Aji Ichi Houjou（小田原らーめん鯵壱北條。）| It's Not Sushi
Finally working through some of the backlogged videos. First up was a random ramen encounter at Aji Ichi Houjou in Odawara. The four of us were all working at the same part-time gig and we are all big fans of the bowl so it was only natural that we dined out at one of the local establishments on our lunch break.

Random Japan Phone Snaps #4 ランダム携帯で撮った写真
Sometimes I snap things with my phone that I only ever use once or intend to use in the future but never do. They gradually build up till I drag them all off my phone into a dump folder, where would usually spend the rest of their digital eternities...
Until now.
Enjoy these random images of random times in random Japan.

Anzu - Japanese Apricots
Chikuma City in Nagano is one of only a few places where Anzu, or Japanese Apricots are grown. They've been at it for 300 years and are pretty good at it. The best ones sell for around ¥10000 per box.
I've been shooting footage for a video, promoting both the Anzu, and the city, for the better part of the week. It's been a nice (and delicious) break from the rat race that is Tokyo.
