Pre-Covid Photographs

Before deleting the Facebook Yakitori group (好鶏委員会) on December 6, 2020, I took the time to save the photos taken at gatherings over the past four or so years. They are presented here, separated out by venue (Torikei (near Toritsudaigaku), Jiemon (near Kogane-cho in Yokohama) and Other Venues. Within each group, the photos are intended to be sequenced with the latest photos first. Things might have gone awry in arranging them, however, and there were some gatherings at which photos were not taken. Some of them are out-of-focus, and I hope shortly to find the time to cull them out. There are also some redundancies, particularly of photos not showing any participants. These will probably also be edited out sometime soon.

Many of the photos are thanks to the work of the late Bob Oliver, who was also the kanji for gatherings held at Jiemon in Yokohama.

Other Venues

We occasionally met at venues other than our main two yakitoriya, and even once met online after the Corona Pandemic made face-to-face gatherings impossible (or at least extremely reckless).
