The city can cancel the official illuminations and discourage the revelries — but at least it can't halt the blossoms themselves...
Along the Meguro-gawa, the sakura are as splendid as ever.
The only question is: what are we all going to be eating/drinking this evening? Sweet potatoes from the ishi-yaki imo wagon?
New York hot dogs? Pink bubbly? Pad Thai?
Turkish doner kebab? Southern Indian finger food?
Naka-Meguro is nothing but eclectic.
