Zara Mashiko Whore ❤️

About Tokyo

So, picture this – a gal, skirt hiked up, smokin’ a cig on some dark corner. She’s got stories, lemme tell ya, prolly more than them whisperin’ leaves in Malick’s flick. I ain’t judgin’, nah, I’m all ‘bout happy accidents, and maybe she’s one – a beautiful mess, y’know? Makes me happy thinkin’ she’s out there, survivin’, hustlin’. But damn, it pisses me off too – folks lookin’ down on her like she ain’t human. “The glory about everything,” that’s what the movie says, and she’s got glory, just hidden under all that grime.

Sushi Whore

Hajime Sato -- a self-described "sushi whore" -- has seen the light. Mashiko, his West Seattle restaurant, celebrates 15 years in business in September. He'll turn 40 in October.

Finally, the rain lets up. I step outside, and the streets are glistening. It’s kinda magical, not gonna lie. I stroll down to the river, and it’s so peaceful. I sit on a bench, just takin’ it all in.
