Matsumoto-san bellied up to my bar and said, "Amy, I've started Moooo! Bar II on the beach at Awashima Island. You must come see it!" I wasn't really sure what to think about this, not having planned on expanding anything except my beer belly by owning a bar. This being Asia, however, it is supposed to be complimentary when someone copies something you do.
It wasn't until last week that I eventually made it to Awashima (Kagawa-ken) on my boat, along with four other foreigners. Matsumoto-san greeted us at the port of Awashima and took us directly to his Moooo! Bar on the beach which looked like a modern shack that wasn't quite finished yet, even though it was. Orange construction cones lined one side of the bar while miscellaneous driftwood, cleverly painted buoys and other creative junk were strewn about as natural decor. The beach side, however, had a beautiful sunset view over the sea.
Thankfully, Matsumoto-san's Moooo! Bar was not outfitted in cow spots. As a matter of fact, the only thing that had anything to do with cows were the BBQs.
