how could i come all the way to yokohama and not have a nikuman from edosei in chinatown?!
nevermind that it was during work hours. or that i was running late for an important central bank conference. my biggest concern was getting the right shop, because they all look so similar from the outside.
i actually got it wrong once about a year ago. i realized the mistake right after ordering 2 nikumans. i was so shocked that i couldn't help yelling, "OH NO, you're NOT edosei!" and they were very understanding and let me cancel the order. i was quite relieved, but purpleman looked like he would die of embarassment. i wonder if anyone had ever done that before.
i'm pretty confident that i'm the only person to have ever shown up at a Bank of Japan conference with a nikuman in her handbag.
