This is Kijima-san and I. Kijima-san is a man who attends an English class that one of my co-workers teaches. I was invited to the class's New Year's party at a local Chinese restaurant. Here we are lifting glasses of a traditional Chinese aperitif (although the name has escaped me). It tasted sweet like brown sugar, but with a slight motor-oily taste (despite that seemingly unflattering description, it was quite good liquor).
