Ah, my compliments. A wonderful description of beautiful fare and words. I am a fan of both, having just narrated Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage for the audio version of the US release for Penguin/Random House. I am also a Portlander (transplanted to L.A.) and will look up Nodoguro on my next trip home. Cheers, Bruce Locke
