A real home run
March 2

So after Michio, Taka-san, Hideo, Yoshi and I left UST, we repaired to a nearby restaurant for dinner. When we arrived, Hideo said: “This place is a real home-run!”

I recall thinking to myself, my, what a lovely colloquial turn Hideo’s English has acquired.

It was half-way through my bowl of delicious soba noodles that I realized what he meant was: This is the original Honmura-An!
