Saturday was a special day in Davey’s local community. He and his young colleagues spent a few hours cleaning up their highly decorated and sophisticated cart. This was immediately followed by an all-day cook-out. Though it was pretty hot, we spent the day eating a variety of grilled foods:
Sweet garlic roasted.
Scallions dipped in miso.
Barbeque diaphragm—very good.
Chicken wings
Chicken on wooden skewers with onions between
Barbeque tongue—a bit tough, but tasty.
A variety of beverages are drunk, a few of which were non-alcoholic. The drinks included potato wine, plum wine, sake, and a variety of beers.
Especially noteworthy was that most of these young men- all under 40, mostly smoked or vaped. They were very hospitable and most of them made a point of spending some time chatting with me. Another noteworthy experience was how highly esteemed my son Davey is in this culture. More than one of these guys made a point of telling me what a fine fellow he is and how highly he is respected.
The mothers and school children were all at the Nagoya Aquarium on a field trip. They had between 4 children and two.
