The 32nd Birthday

No, not mine.  A visiting business associate.  We happened to meet (for the first time) on the night of his birthday last week and we had good fun.

Kampai! to the birthday boy. That would be sake in the cup.

Sitting down for a proper dinner with a draft to start.

With nice sake to follow.

Then the birthday cake.

Had my share.

And the birthday boy was dying to try the umeshu – the plum wine.

The restaurant’s plum wine in the making.
