Not great for saké
Donald Trump has threatened to raise reciprocal tariffs on Japan to the even higher rate of 35% — higher than what was initially set for China.
Trump doubles down on Japan again by threatening 35% tariff
Japan is currently subject to 25% auto tariffs and a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum, as well as a 10% reciprocal tariff that could return to 24% if no deal is struck by July 9.

The oyster bar at Jagalchi in Daly City has sushi for $5/2pcs on the menu. They use Koshihikari rice. Tasty enough for supermarket sushi. For drinks, you can wash it down with beer, wine or soju. No saké!

Tasting menu yakitori? Wow! Yakitori has been so overlooked
My second review for @financialtimes.com is now online and it’s a truly brilliant Yakitori place in the city called Hotori. Obv paywalled but you can also read me every Saturday by signing up to FT Edit, via Linktree in bio, for £4.99 a month.

Ingenious financing. BNPL really targets customers who don’t like credit and who don’t need it, but can’t resist free financing

I’ve previously been to places that served yakitori, but never to a yakitori-ya specialty restaurant like Tomozuna in Yokohama that serves only yakitori.
