Mission to Japan, Day 4 (see previously 8.201 (Part of) Kaiseki).

In Tokyo and beyond.  Here to oversee various preparations in advance of the upcoming Third Meeting of the Asia-Pacific Parliamentarian Forum on Global Health in August.

Just passing by, when I came upon this place.

Didn’t occur to me until later that the meal cost JPY 1,580 = approx USD 14 – yikes.

Makes sense to allow customers to get their own side dishes, which would seem to minimize waste.

Tokyo is the 28th city and newest addition to this list of places outside of Korea where I’ve eaten Korean food (see KOREAN ABROAD).

Haneda Airport International Terminal

Not flying business class, but my Priority Pass got me into the ANA Lounge.

As always, I am grateful for and respectful of the opportunity to travel internationally, whether for fun or for work, especially via business class (see BEST IN FLIGHT), including airport lounge access (see in BEST IN LOUNGE).
