During Golden Week I spent a couple of days re-making the fence at the rear of The Three Little Pigs, as the old fence had rotted away and last year's typhoons finished it off.

  Here's a before and after picture of the fence.

  This week's soup is Creamy Spinach, as it seems to be in season at the moment.

  A soup that Popeye would certainly enjoy before he climbs that mountain!

 Inspired by Len Deighton’s French Cooking for Men, this week's quiche is Potato & Anchovy.

 As well as cook books Len Deighton has written a ton of great novels, mostly of the spy genre. Highly recommended.

Finally we are able to accept cashless payments, either by the major credit cards Visa (including Visa Debit,) Mastercard, JCB, Diners and American Express.

Or we are also set up for what in Japan is called 'denshi money' (電子マネー) which translates directly as 'electronic money' or I suppose a better term would be 'electronic payments'. Sorry for the digression, we can take iD, QUICPay, WAON, nanaco, Edy, Suica and PASMO.

So I think we've got it covered.

I must also say a big thank you to Yasuda-san from JMS for hs time, as we'd almost given up on electronic payments because every system we looked at seemed overly complicated, or too dependent on Apple hardware.
