It was only by chance i found out the One Love Jamaican festival was on at Yoyogi park on the weekend so Sunday i got myself over there for a look.
Walking through Yoyogi Park on what was close to a 30 degree day i knew there’d be a ton of people out and about enjoying the sun.
Plenty of drummers drumming.

In the pursuit of something different to eat the other night i stumbled across Wontonmen at a local restaurant just near Yoyogi Station.
Up until then i`d never seen in on the menu but now i`m glad i did, it`s a great blend of Ramen with a good 3 or 4 steamed Wontons floating in a great broth.
It was bloody well priced too coming in at 1200 yen for the Wontonmen and a beer.

If nothing else it’s a catchy name but in this case Tantakatan is so much more, it’s a tasty drink that features highly on my list of vices these days.
As part of my “Eating Better” plan for this year i’ve also had to look at what i’m drinking and while i can never replace beer i can reduce my intake considerably by drinking Tantakatun.
I can’t begin to describe the taste of it, i guess flowery would be a start. It’s very aromatic which makes it appealing and it can either be served straight or with water, i take mine with water as you can see here with my bottle keep at the local restaurant.
Tantakatun is in the Shochu family, a type of distilled beverage native to Japan and this particular one comes from Hokkaido with a main ingredient of Shiso.
