I've been to Japan a lot, and from my observation, as a rule the Japanese do not eat dessert (since it isn't offered in Japanese restaurants).

That does not stop the diners from getting up and going to the western-style coffee shop next door and having some cake or pastry, but that isn't dessert, that's coffee.

OK, that's it. From this point onward, I will never mention desserts in one of your threads again. That will be my new rule.

Oh, congrats on the Omni, and nice tux. And I envy your ability to tie a bow tie.
