Fire Course Ground Coffee
This coffee is one of the hot varieties. It comes out of the vending machine hot. Pretty hard to carry the can up 10 floors actually. It it “course ground” coffee. It’s pretty good. I like the hot variety. Also a bit sweet, but not as much as Wonda’s morning shot, or Boss Rainbow Mountain.

Wonda Morning Shot
Today’s coffee is Wonda’s Morning shot. I’ve been seeing commercials for this on TV all over the place. Depite saying “Good morning” right there on the can, I’m having it in the afternoon. It is a nice blend, a bit sweet, right up there with Boss Rainbow Mountain. I don’t like the woman they use […]

Fire Sky Max
Today’s coffee: Fire’s Sky Max. It is a weaker coffee than some of the other Fire’s I’ve had, and not as sweet either. Still, not bad.

Fire Milk & Beans
Today’s daily canned coffee is Fire Milk & Beans. I really liked this coffee, it was sweet and smooth. I still have a hard time drinking coffee black, and enjoy the café au lait side of things more.

Boss Rainbow Mountain Blend
At the local 7-11 I noticed that they had my favorite, Boss Rainbow Mountain Blend, in some sort of strange two pack. It comes with a Hokuto no ken something or other. No discount on the dual pack, still 2*120, but they do throw in the toy. This is the second toy I’ve got. A […]

Fire Mocha 100%
Today’s coffee: Fire Mocha 100%. Man, this is a real man’s coffee, a strong bitter taste, not sweet at all. Like black coffee, of which I’m not a real fan. Still, wakes me up and does the job. Also, as with yesterday’s Fire brand coffee, this one came out of the machine cold.

Daily Japanese Canned Coffee: “Blend of Fire”
At work, after lunch I drink a canned coffee to help keep me awake through the afternoon push. I really like Japanese Canned Coffee. Sometimes it is hot, sometimes it is cold. Sometimes bought in vending machines, sometimes bought in stores. I’ve decided to document each type of coffee that I drink. The goal is […]

Hamarikyuu Park and Monjya-yaki
F. and I went for a walk in Tokyo on Saturday. We first went to Hamarikyuu Park, and looked at some of the cherry blossoms. They are just about in full bloom now. NHK was there filming, which we later saw on TV that night. Hamarikyuu Park has a pine tree that is 300 years […]

細木和子 (Hosoki Kazuko) Japanese fortune-teller, and Japanese dramas
So I got home at about 8pm today, ate dinner and started flipping through channels on the TV. I came across a special for Hosoki Kazuko’s birthday, who is a well-known fortune teller. She has people on a show and then gives them (typically brutal) advice, from what I could tell. I really couldn’t believe […]

Celebrating one week at work (in Japan)
So this weekend I am celebrating one week at work in Japan. Things are going well so far, although the commute is a bit crowded sometimes. I’ve settled on getting up at 6:30 to catch a 7:10 train or so, getting in to work at 8:15. Going home varies, but usually it isn’t as crowded […]

Sightseeing in and around Tokyo
My friends Ron and Michelle stopped by Tokyo for four days to visit Eric and myself. They have been travelling around the world, Manilla and Hong Kong, while on Spring break. Ron is an excellent architect, so he had an entire itenerary of buildings lined up that he wanted to see. Since their time was […]

Landed in Japan
I arrived in Japan yesterday. Filled out the forms for my foreigner registration card today, and got a new cell phone. I start work tomorrow, and am utterly exhausted right now (9:30pm local time.) Looks like if I can get a good night’s sleep tonight, jetlag might not be a problem.
