Naturally it's an instant subscribe from us in Holland again Dave.

Glad to see how well you've been able to weather this storm and even gladder to see you've weathered it in good spirits and health.

It was always a treat, but from total lockdown the view of an evening in an Asakusa izakaya catching up is even more attractive.

As always best of luck and plenty of carving pleasure for the year ahead.

I myself haven't stepped foot in an izakaya (or any restaurant) since last March ... They are all plenty crowded here these days, but at my age, I think it's best to play it safe ...

One day!
