Uji Time. Berkeley. California. 10.11.2016.

When I found out there was some place in the Bay Area that had soft serve on taiyaki cones, I immediately sent it to my friends who love Japanese desserts as I do. They even have secret menu items Mondays-Thursdays.

As my brother Phil is moving back to New Orleans, we decided to have dinner at Izakaya Rintaro. One of my favorites. Both my brothers were happily fed.
