I was in the grocery store scoring some heavily discounted fish tonight. Original price was like 10 bucks for a big cut of sashimi-grade tuna, but I paid under 3 bucks. 30 minutes before closing time means the store can't be picky about the price they get on fresh fish.
I paid, packed my groceries, and walked out of the store. Seconds later, the dude who was bagging his groceries next to me came sprinting out of the store. Why? Because I had dropped a 1 yen coin. 1 yen. That's less than a damn penny. Now that's courtesy!
How Japanese, I chuckled to myself over seared tuna and green beans.

You should have given him the yen out of gratitude and winked and said, "don't spend it all in one place, son."
If it was a US Penny instead of the 1 Yen coin, he would have been reminding you not to litter.
Seared tuna and green beans? You live like a king!
What's wrong with tuna and green beans? Just what the hell did you eat for dinner that's so special?
I love seared tuna and green beans. All the good fish here is exported so it is the one thing that we really can't get. I admire your culinery skills, first it was the squid and now tuna. When I lived in Japan I knew nothing about cooking or fish so lived on yakisoba, gyoza and toast and only ate fish when we went out.
