Thank you for the beef and train report. That's a good portion of my usual JP vacation right there.

I haven't ordered from CrowdCow but I've seen it mentioned on reddit in conjunction with wagyu* when looking up cow shares https://www.crowdcow.com/products/search?q=japanese%20wagyu Costco has JP wagyu at this time of year, too, and I am a weirdo who thinks good beef would be a great gift to receive (except we ran out of freezer space long ago) https://www.costco.com/beef.html?typ...eef_attr-Wagyu

We've been using SayWeee! for local Asian grocery delivery. Popular items like LeTao cheesecakes can sell quickly.

This video about owning and running a sento also brought home the vacation nostalgia
* Edit: Relink for Japanese wagyu as the wagyu category https://www.crowdcow.com/wagyu/beef mostly lists US wagyu farms.
