The November 5th meet-up in Tokyo is going to be epic! Thanks in advance for joining--especially considering how far you're going to have to travel just to get there!
Okay. You just threw down the gauntlet, and at the top of your post. How dare you suggest a conch and then casually suggest you will NOT bring this to our November meetup. Bah!
Real pour-over Japanese coffee while abroad. Yes. I also believe that Japanese language conversation with the 店員/オーナーさん helps with the flavor. Lord knows the bazillion times Japanese (usually older men) have mercilessly swooped on me to speak English when they see my face, so why not do the swoop on nihonjin while abroad? As you say, it does bring a fleeting sense that you have returned even when you are still stuck abroad waiting for the return flight.
Uh now. Tim, can we speak? You have not ventured “up” to the big city SINCE COVID? What was that, like 14 years ago?

I’m not going to bring my conch… sorry :( maybe there will be one in Tokyo I can rent or something.
And yes, it definitely tastes better if you can see (critique) it being brewed! Swoop on Nihonjin!
