LIFE AT 15 CRAIGSIDE

If I had to pick the one spot on Planet Earth I wished to live for the rest of my life, it would be 15 Craigside in Honolulu.  So much so that I'd rather stay home than go on trips anymore, although our next adventure which starts tomorrow, should be spectacular.

So for today, I just show the meals I have in my apartment, and other places, plus some activities at 15 Craigside.  Unagi, sashimi and beer.

To watch the World Series.

Another bento of sashimi, kalbi, sashimi and beer.

From our dining room, beff stew and hamachi sashimi, with hot sake.

Another from our dining room with sashimi and macaroni salad, plus beer.

Chicken katsu, beer and sake.

Fish and chips and beer.

Went to Marugame Udon in town for, yes, udon, beer and trimmings.

15 Craigside has frequent teas, wine downs and cocktail hours.

Karaoke with Doug Oshiro, master KDJ.

My drink of the night was a Kirin whisky, Fuji-Sanroku, Oloroso Cask finish, which costs about $1000/bottle.

This 18 year old Kirin FUJI-Sanroku, limited to 3000 bottles worldwide , is matured in Oloroso Sherry casks and was distilled in the Kirin Fuji Gotemba distillery. It is located directly on Mount Fuji in the town of Gotemba and was founded in 1972.

The taste is unique, a characterful and complex whisky, with a hint of harmonious and fruity aromas. The storage in Oloroso sherry casks gives it a beautiful sherry scent and a smooth, round and long finish. The bottom of the bottle is modeled on Mount Fuji.

Due to its location near Mount Fuji, you can feel the freshness of the clear spring water and the altitude in this top-quality whisky.

One of the advantages of living here is that a pharmacy comes to our building handle vaccinations.

Then, our clinic check our vitals that day and the next.

Goodbye from 15 Craigside.

We are poised to leave Honolulu for the Orient, and will be away for two months.  More details tomorrow.
