Here’s my Dildo merch!

Passing through Dildo on Friday afternoon.

While planning our summer vacation road trip, I discovered this wine and I need to experience it. It’s a blueberry and blackberry wine blend.

Unofficial wine of 18+ Bayformers fanfic?! And I’m not even in the fandom.

Spent last night being a proper degenerate on Otome Road, then visited a cute craft beer bar over in the west end of Ikebukuro.

Pics of the doujin and book haul later. Getting everything sorted for the flight was tricky. At least two repacking happened. Some of the books are in carry ons.

So this one requires a bit of explanation.

To quote Wiki: “Mottainai is a Japanese phrase conveying a sense of regret over waste, […] The term can be translated to English as "What a waste!" or the old saying, "Waste not, want not."

The juice is from fruit that can’t be sold as fresh produce.

This cocktail line is promotes their drinks heavily on the fresh juice content. The “Moscow Mule” is an excuse for ginger and a citrus fruit called shiikuwasha (or some variation therein)

Other drinks so far. We ended up at a restaurant in Shinjuku with some of Spring Valley’s expanded range. Afterdark is their dark lager. It’s very smooth compared to dark lagers back home

I had a lemon sour last night that might have been the most expensive cocktail I’ve had this trip. Yes, it came deconstructed. It was delicious.

For a change of pace, here’s some love hotels we passed by last night while wandering Osaka

Heehee, Hotel BB

Some of the doujinshi I’ve picked up so far!

First canned cocktails of the trip: a lemon sour from a curry place and this old fav. This is a grapefruit chuhi from the Hyoketsu line. I think they reformulated the flavour again.

I should try to look for the sugar free version.
