Drifting from Bar to Bar
I had somen noodles for lunch with my relatives. They were delicious. Just after 4 pm, I went to a cafe called Yamaneko. They will be closed for four days for Obon starting the next day. That day, I visited six bars: Nagomi, Tachimachi-ya, Ajia-tei, Naoki, Grulla, and Kotatsu. I met the owner’s wife at Nagomi for the first time in over a year. I bought drinks for three people, including her. I met Matsuda-san at Naoki, and I followed his recommendation to a Mediterranean restaurant called Grulla with Natsumi-san. The bar owner used to live in Yaho City, so I was really surprised to hear that because I also used to live there. At Kotatsu, I thought they might be having financial difficulties because the atmosphere between the owners was so gloomy. I went to bed around midnight, but I could not sleep for a long time, and then I finally fell asleep around 2 am.
