MY FAVORITE IZAKAYA and YOSHIMOTO

Last night I went to my favorite Izakaya, ECHIGOYA. It`s in shinsabashi near the famous ramen shop "ippudo." I began going there about 4 years ago because I became friends with the Master in a sauna. (We both used to go to Shimizuyu, a bath house near OPA, a lot...i love bath houses, hot springs, and saunas...) The food is really good there and I also enjoy talking to the Master and Mama. I went there to meet a friend who works for Yoshimoto, Mr. A. He is a really interesting guy and he speaks VERY fast in his unique osaka-dialect. He`s funny and makes me laugh. I also enjoy Yoshimoto shows and comedians a lot. I have been to the head office a few times too. The "GOOD MORNING" greetings that people do there are impressive! Today it looks like it`s gonna rain all day...
