Having gone without lunch, David was perfectly happy to receive a message from Kenyon that he was stuck on a bus in a traffic jam caused by the Toukasan festival as that gave him time to chomp his way through Kodama Mama-san’s ample serving of yakimeshi without having to concentrate [Read more…]
The three Old Timers returned to Kodama for tonight’s game. It was essentially a battle between David and Noda for the spoils of victory and in the third game it looked as if Noda was down and out, finishing with an empty tray and owing David 20,000 points. Perhaps it [Read more…]

Enami-san returned to the table from a holiday in New York dedicated to watching baseball and basketball. The change of scene had a deliterious effect on his game as he failed to get into the black at any point in the evening, got stuck with his Yakitori on the table [Read more…]
