So this week, the Japan Open Tennis tournament is on. Some guy named Nadal is playing, as are Roddick, Monfils, Tsonga (who lost in round one to Nieminen), etc.
It's not on TV at all. Ping pong and rugby appear to be higher priority, as are repeated showings of the Liverpool-Blackpool football match. Yesterday, one of the coupon shops at Shinjuku station sold me a Y15,000 ticket for the finals for Y8,000. I suppose it was in large part because it was a single, but still, I will be sitting in the 6th row up from the side of the court, very possibly to see Nadal play. Guess tennis just doesn't count here, bring on the ping pong! |

This year's Pepsi offering is Pepsi Baobab, named after the African tree.

It tastes like a citrusy/spicy fruit/ginger ale punch and would probably mix well with tequila or rum. Has the trademarked Diet Pepsi aftertaste. Caution: De gustibus non disputandum est & YMMV. http://qkeizai.nishinippon.co.jp/archives/10160 |

Taste test to follow.
On first opening, the bouquet is intriguing & smells like the stuff may actually be nice. First mouthful/gag/swallow - reminiscent of Bhopal effluent stream with over-sweetening & carbonation. Distinct chemical factory aftertaste. Avoid. :td: |

Words fail me. Probably because I'm nauseated.

Just as a matter of interest, what does the marketing material suggest that the flavour of Mont Blanc ought to be?
