Starbucks made a Roastery (flagship store meant to function as an attraction) in Tokyo and, wow, do consumer-facing companies just smoke the entire tech industry in branding. I assume objective is improving perception of Starbucks as a luxury brand in Asia. Well executed.

"I don’t even drink." How does that go over in Japan? I used to hang with a lot of east Asian international students and they always wanted to go drinking. Even the tiny petite Japanese (and especially Korean) girls could drink me under the table.

It’s a bit of a weird lifestyle choice, particularly back when I was a salaryman, but far from weirdest thing about me. (I’m not 100% teetotaler these days but was then, and navigating that was tricky but not impossible.)
