Lunch: Nissin curry udon, which actually came with a sealed packet of real udon noodles, not the Cup Noodle-style dehydrated things that don't really resemble udon at all.

I was trying to figure out the directions and the unusual package, but understood too late that the odd perforated foil half-covering of the bowl was there to serve as single-use strainer, whereby you would immerse your udon in boiling water for a few minutes, pour it off, then add the various packets of seasoning and whatnot. It turned out okay as curry udon soup anyway tho'.

Water to drink, Fuji apple.

Beverage: Three (!) cans of Suntory Boss Coffee while driving home from The West Bay... "On Business", "Intermission" and "Fine Roast".

Dinner: Early (for me) dinner of little items purchased at the Japanese-market-formerly-known-as-Maruwa in San Francisco's Nihonmachi... oknomiyakai, kinpira gobo, sansai bibimba, sunomono, packaged gohan with shiso seasoning, (not sure if it's technically furikake if there's no sesame seeds) sweet bean assortment the name of which escapes me at the moment, glass of mugicha.

Midnight Snack: Natto, sansai bibimba, leftover gohan with shiso and wasabi furikake, mugicha, small azuki bean sweet.
