How the New Wolverine Movie Could Piss Off Japan
This is rumored to be the teaser poster for the upcoming Wolverine flick, The Wolverine. The movie is set in Japan, and actor Hugh Jackman revives his role as the superhero.
I think it looks pretty good.
“Even when called out
By a single foe,
Remain on guard,
For you are always surrounded
By a host of enemies - Morihei Ueshiba
Wow, that all looks damn good.
Kushi Katsu Senmonten Manji (串かつ専門店 萬時), Tenmabashi (continued from here). The set menu we chose had all the usual favourites - prawn, oyster, fish, pork katsu, chicken, as well as a few special additions such as crab and shirako (fish sperm sack, bottom left pic). More sperm sack please! Creamy inside, crispy golden brown shell with finely chopped shallot - oh man! so damn good!
~¥5000 pp (including drinks). Good selection of shochu. Tabelog entry: http://r.tabelog.com/osaka/A2701/A270104/27005914/

“I have found the essence of Bushido: to die!
…you must die anew every morning and every night. If you continually preserve the state of death in everyday life, you will undertand the essence of Bushido.”
