Jason came with me this time and we've been having a great time with my family. We arrived in Urawa from Narita Airport in the evening of December 8. It was so wonderful to see mom, Tomoko (my older sister) and Wataru (her son). Upon my request, we went to a local izakaya (Japanese pub) for a casual first night dinner.

We ordered a bunch of different dishes and enjoyed with sake and shochu.
