So, instead of spring we just get hay fever, then yesterday was summer. I’m not even going to venture a guess at what today was supposed to be.
My all time favorite Hanami was when my wife and I decided to go to Shinjuku Gyoen years back. The blossoms were hardly out, and it was freezing. Suddenly about 1,000 guys come streaming in from 2-chome and park all around us. So much fun! There was a guy in a tutu carving off slices of prosciutto for everyone, and another walking around with bottles of champagne serving to all and sundry.
