what do you see?

More yakitori and other skewered delights last night at the other branch (south 3 west 2 ish) of the shop we usually go to, which is more north. This branch is a bit older and noisier, but the food seemed almost better. We sat at a table near the back, which unfortunately meant running the entire gauntlet of stares on the way in - still at least it gets it out of people's systems early. The people at the next table had sparrow (suzume) I think.
This blog has entered a new phase of food food and more food related entries. I don't know why that happens. Still, it's better than just weather and flower reports I hope. Speaking of which, it's a really nice day today, lilacs are out in force and the Sapporo flower lily-of-the-valley (suzuran) has appeared quite a lot too.
