Seasons one and two (in addition to the prequel season zero) of alphabet courting definitely pushed the boundaries of what a “date” is, and that continues in season three with much more tenuous examples for every letter of the alphabet. For the file, doing one thing collectively (it doesn’t matter what it’s!) counts as a date on this collection which isn’t at all times about visiting glamorous locations and doing thrilling issues however simply getting on the market and exploring areas we wouldn’t usually go to. With out additional ado, lets kick off the ultimate season of alphabet courting with what we did for the third set of letters…

Okay is for Okayatsuya (March 2023)

A comparatively straightforward letter to tick off as we simply went to this native chain restaurant one evening as neither of us wished to cook dinner. Sauce Katsudon was a weekly staple for me in my early years in Japan however one thing that I hardly ever eat as of late so it was just a little nostalgic for me.

L is for Koshigaya-Laketown (March 2023)

We had been simply watching Japanese TV at some point after we noticed this place briefly featured. I had by no means heard of it however was eager to test it out so we went there one Sunday morning to take a stroll around the sizable lake and onto the outlet malls for some buying and lunch.

M is for Movie Night time (March 2023)

My spouse and I really don’t get to observe too many movies collectively as of late as a consequence of our working hours however we did have a film evening with snacks. I didn’t take a photograph although so that you’ll simply must think about two individuals sitting on a settee watching the lengthy awaited sequel to the 1986 unique.

N is for Nagasaki Chanpon (March 2023)

To be trustworthy, I used to be discovering it tough to do an N date however then at some point I met my spouse by probability on the practice as I used to be heading residence from work and he or she steered going for chanpon. The lightbulb went off in my head and, after confirming it was certainly Nagasaki chanpon, I jumped on the probability. We went to Jigemon in Naka Itabashi and had two totally different styles of this regional noodle dish. I had the kuro (black) one and he or she had the shiro (white) one which perhaps says one thing about our personalities!

O is for Oasis Night time and Oyama (April 2023)

  

A double-dose of motion for the letter O which began on a Saturday night with Oasis evening which mainly simply entailed watching the dwell Knebworth live performance on DVD. I used to be at this mammoth musical occasion (together with 125,000 others on the primary day) again in 1996 however had by no means seen it till this second. My spouse is an Oasis fan however was not conscious of this pivotal second in British rock music.

The next afternoon we went to Blissful Highway in Oyama which is a very nice native buying arcade with some nice little retailers and eating places.
