Jim,

You'd be surprised what you'll find in Tokyo. Whatever they do they do great. We had two Michelin Star French dinners in Tokyo with my first bottle of 04 Latour-Martillac that I thought was priced reasonably at about $60usd and at the second a 2000 Gruaud Larose for under $100usd. Food and service were first rate with prices no more than I'd expect to pay locally for fine dining with quality and service a step higher. You can find anything you want in Tokyo and you won't be disappointed. Try wandering through a 7-Eleven. They are everywhere but for quick lunch you can't beat them with great quality. Lot's to see and do but not enough time in one week. You would enjoy a multimedia show that will blow you away on Obaida a man man made Island that you can reach easily by subway and go see Teamlabs Planets...you won't be disappointed and it's amazing. This group has had productions on America's Got Talent several times. https://livejapan.com/en/in-tokyo/in-pr ... -a0000132/.

If you want you can find every kink known to man here and it will make Le Mask look average! Enjoy.

Thanks I’m very excited, we’ve been talking about going for years and the stars have finally aligned. I knew you had a great trip there Danny. We’re only there from Sunday to Sunday so it is kind of a quick surgical strike trip.

[Hm$(still)]

I think it’s really hot there right now.

[JimHow]

Yes it is. I’m at the Grateful Dead concert in Boston tonight, it’s muggy here too.

Wow. Tokyo. No need of any wine. Just breathe.

BWE has landed in Tokyo. The partner in crime arrives from Shanghai on Wednesday, so I have the city to myself for the next 36 hours, before the party begins. I must say.... I'm blown away by the reception here. A dream realized, Tokyo has been at the top of the list. So tomorrow I will be a flaneur here in Shinjuku! Will try to report.

Jim. You have to try the best Konshu wines.

In a week, i'll in Roma with the entire family. Can't wait!
