Omikuji Mackerel soused in Nanban
Omikuji (random lot) are random fortunes written on strips of paper in Buddhist temples in Japan that are received by making a small offering and randomly choosing a box, hoping for the resulting fortune to be good. I relate this to visiting my friend’s place where potent cocktails are served and takeaway produce from his garden is provided in return for dinner.
