Joseph This was the highlight of my trip. Yukihisa and Hiroshi are two awesome people. They took me to a matchbox bar in GoldenGai, and it is an experience I'll never forget. It was just us three and the bar owner, who has owned that bar since the late 1940s! We shared stories and Yukihisa and Hiroshi translated. I will definitely be coming back here again!
