Spent the day in the garden, so the Snowy River got the call up again.
Later, I fired up the shichirin, so switched to the barbecue hat - the Bluegrass Green Cattleman.
Atsuage (Deep fried tofu) is remarkably good on the barbecue. Crispy on the outside, soft and hot on the inside...
Very jealous. I have seen the American Utopia movie on the small screen at home. The finale doing Road to Nowhere walking through the crowd was brilliant, and I can only imagine what that person in the front row was feeling when David Byrne stopped right in front of her. That music was such a...
Spent the day on the barbecue. Spare ribs and pork belly burnt ends. I didn’t get food photos (sorry Stefan) or even a head shot, but I was in my regular bbq hat - the Akubra Cattleman.
Well this was a disappointment.
Definitely some chocolate flavour there, but just a weird taste. Not terrible, but not particularly good.
This regular Asahi went down much better.
And the hat for the day was my Stetson Custom V.
Custom V yesterday. After enjoying Stop Making Sense so much the other day, I decided to go to American Utopia yesterday. 14 people in the theatre, I picked a seat at the side, away from anyone else, so I could dance around like a lunatic like last time. About three songs in, I was instructed...
Thanks Stefan. Back when I was teaching at public schools, it was jeans or chino pants (shorts in summer) and an open neck polo shirt. For teaching primary school level, it was much more practical. The Tirard might not have worked well with it, but I could certainly find other hats that would...
Denim today. The brand is Unico Linea, a Japanese brand that I know nothing about, but the denim is from Okayama, the home, as I understand it, of the best Japanese denim. It’s certainly a good quality thick denim. The hat is a Resistol that draws a fair few looks here in Japan.
I like it. I was always self conscious about a tall crown at first, but now I wish I had stuck with a tall crown on one of my custom hats where I asked for the standard tall crown to be reduced to medium. I love my taller ones now. I’m sure you’ll get used to it too. It certainly doesn’t...
The ‘Peated Malt
Old Ballantruan
Speyside Glenlivet
From what I gather from a quick search, I don’t think this is made by Glenlivet, but rather made in the same area within the Speyside region. It was recommended to us by one of the staff at a liquor store In Osaka.
Wearing my Hornskov...
Thanks Jack. The only Irish whiskeys I’ve had prior to this are Jameson, Tullamore Dew and Busker. I may have also tried a Bushmills at some point. So I don’t have a lot to compare this to, but I think it was a step or two up from those ones. We enjoyed it and consider it one we may buy...
Stopped at a little boutique coffee shop. I had Sumatra Mandheling & Etsuko a bean from Myanmar. Both very nice. Akubras for us both today.
Later, an Irish Whiskey for St Pat’s.
My other leather jacket. This is a little known Japanese clothing brand called Men’s Bigi. Since I bought the Schott, this one feels more like a leather shirt than a leather jacket.
The hat is an Akubra Stylemaster.
