Farewell Quality Bar-The Regulars

Out back on the patio with edemame, nama biru and dear friends Naoki, Yuki, Tom (the laughing man) and Kozo.

Master and Maru even had a proper cake for us! (Kozo again and also at right are Dean & June).
Maru, our favourite bartender and the best Master....We'll miss you dearly! You were more
Salty Dogs ever! Good luck with the future! than just our local, you were a friend! Thank
you for everything.

The locals told us that they had never heard more English spoken in the Quality Bar as the entire duration of our lives in Mizonokuchi. And further, no one knew Master could speak a bit of English!
To all...Thanks for all the Japanese lessons and being patient with us! We had some good times, didn't we?!! Mata'ne.
