Two years in a row I've been lucky enough to celebrate my birthday in Japan. I asked Steve if we could make it a thing, but I don't like my chances. Better to be happy with what I got.
Honestly, it was a pretty cold and rainy day here, so the girls and I were just hanging out while Steve worked. I did spend most of the day sewing, while we chatted and listened to music. The day before the girls and I had had cake at a cafe when we went to Nippori, but what I really wanted was one of these strawberry sakura red bean mochi that you can pretty much only get at this time of year.
Honestly can't tell you just how delicious they are. Hooray!
Come Friday, we got to celebrate again (and help the girls get out of a pretty bad wave of homesickness) by going to karaoke together. I felt like we were a little bit rookies since we aren't used to picking songs and it took a bit to get going. Sophie in particular at the moment is all about musicals, including some niche YouTube musical on the Odyssey, so was bummed about her choices not being available.
Still, lots of fun, some tempura for dinner after and a walk home through the neighbourhood cherry blossoms. So lucky to have celebrated this way.
