Another night in Ikebukuro

[Wednesday 30th November]
I didn't feel like a night in - our temporary flat is rather pokey and not a lot of fun. So instead I was determined to go and visit my friend Watanabe-san at Quercus Bar, as last time it had been rather busy and we'd not had much of a chance for a chat.

Whilst in Ikebukuro we needed to get something to eat, and it was hard not to go to the ever excellent Rohlan. I chose some quite different things from the menu this time - had their hot and sour soup with noodles which was gigantic and really fantastic.

It turned out Quercus was pretty busy again, so we didn't get a chance to talk much to Watanabe-san after all. I did enjoy some rather nice whiskies though - the particular highlight being a German bottler's Laphroaig - it was a company I hadn't heard of before - something like Jumping Jack...? Anyone, whatever it was called it was very good.
