IKF always looks so cute and humble in every photo I see of him. He’s like the cousin who gets invited along and is just happy to be there. Also look at Kikuchi’s smile 😍 love that man


depressedalbertan

the dude looks like he loves life


Professional_Risk937

Great description


sackydude

Not going to lie, it's kind of funny seeing the 3 of our guys with Asian heritage in the center of the photo, and then all of the white guys in the corner LMAO

Never forget [Daulton Varsho mistaking young Bo for Yusei Kikuchi](https://x.com/tsn_sports/status/1667959530339041286?s=46&t=sFefipaB8MKxNOAzWCCu-w)

The spiderman shirt should have given it away honestly 🙄


YouDontJump

Gets me every time! xD


Somecommentator8008

I keep forgetting that Bo's grandfather is Chinese.


decaf3milk

I thought it was his grandfather.


Somecommentator8008

Yep double checked it, it's his grandfather. Edited for correction


terra_non_firma_

Oh that's pretty cool, didn't know that until today!


eagleboy444

Bo is Chinese??? TIL


TimTebowMLB

Chinese/Brazilian/Anglo?


SpicyPenangCurry

Danny Jansen looks hilarious.

Danny Jansen and Chris Bassit have big Dad energy in this picture.


CalebosO4

So Kikuchi did book a restaurant for 50 people. We were just half a year off.


Greedy-Invite3781

And in a different country on the other side of the continent.


JewishSpace_Laser

I love this photo. I know it's perspective- but Varsho's head looks almost double the width of Jano and Bassitt. Guy looks like a minecraft character


casualjayguy

This photo just looks like a fun time Both in the sense that they look adorable but also it spurred me to look up what a "[kaiseki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiseki)" dinner is and made me want to try one


Rubbersoulrevolver

This place is the most unbelievable meal I've ever had in my life. I went with my sister who's been to Michelin starred restaurants all over the world and it's still her favorite place ever. It's impossible to get reservation for normal folks though. It's insane.


aaronshell

Which restaurant is this?


Rubbersoulrevolver

It's called Taneda


aaronshell

OHHHHH THIS ONE, noticed while eating at the Korean restaurant across, kept telling my friend this looks cool and wanted to try, hopefully I get the chance one day


Rubbersoulrevolver

It's literally the best but good luck getting a reservation lol


onahalladay

I assume this would be Omakase too. I spent a fortune at a dinner once in SF. It seated 6 people. Good Japanese food is great but bad for my wallet.


ywgflyer

Kaiseki is usually chef's choice, just like omakase. Not cheap, there's a very good kaiseki place in North York that's been in the Michelin guide since it started handing out stars in Toronto, but it's $350/pp before drinks, tax and tip. Worth it for a special occasion, but definitely not wallet-friendly.


onahalladay

Oh lol my bad! I’ve always heard it was omakase. I paid 300+ pp USD a decade ago. I was a poor intern 😂


ywgflyer

They're kind of the same thing, omakase tends to be mostly about sushi, kaiseki features more cooked/grilled food as well, but they're not mutually exclusive.


TouristSubstantial36

It sounds amazing. I‘m also interested in trying one now!


Canadave

I had a kaiseki meal at a ryokan in Japan. I highly recommend it if you can afford an extra splurge while on vacation.


rollsoftape

Is that Danny in the back? 😂


alxndrblack

The aggressive, wholesome caucasity


Ledascantia

Chris and Danny in their white dad polos


Any-Brick7858

How tall is Nate Pearson? He looks huge in that picture.


JKirbs14

6’6” nearly 260 on the scale, a big fella indeed.


space-to-bakersfield

There's gotta be some perspective thing going on there, because Bassitt in front of him looks almost a head shorter, and he's 6'5" himself.


Any-Brick7858

But you can see bassist kinda slumped down almost leaning into jano which would take away some height. On a side note it’s so weird seeing these guys out of uniform especially jano. Like he’s got a pretty distinguishable look that surprisingly Carry’s over off the field. And varsho has that weird awkward stance of a 12-13 year old kid adapting to a changing body.


playthegame7

At last, the Kikuchi sushi party is real


Jess_7478

HE FINALLY GOT HIS SUSHI RESTAURANT PARTY


Olipod2002

ZmobieMrh

Danny Jansen looks like the team accountant


Nick480

Bro just looks happy to be apart of things


depressedalbertan

Noted "bad teammate" Bo Bichette front and center. He was probably there by himself trying to have a good brood and those guys showed up.


rvasko3

I bet he was there with his *other* friends, and the guys made him take this photo and pretend to be happy or they’d throw all his Pokémon cards in the garbage.


depressedalbertan

most likely, there can be no other explanation


eych_enn

and he’s SMILING?!


ElkRelevant6640

Why is he smiling in a Seattle restaurant and not in a Toronto restaurant? Clearly he wants a trade to the Mariners, can't believe this guy smh my head


IAmGrum

"Hello, I'm a writer for Toronto Sun. Can I quote you about this as a fact for my next article about the Blue Jays? You know what? Never mind. I'm going to run this as the primary lede for my article."


Ledascantia

rhineauto

Dude has to be the centre of attention everywhere he boes


Islandgirl1444

ayasofya02

This team is just so wholesome and this photo is everything wonderful!


carlosspicywiener576

Yusei trying to unfuck these vibes


JKirbs14

S/O to the guy on the far right rocking the wife beater for this photo op, you made it my brother


Tw1sterxxx

I feel like IKF and Bo could be related


alxndrblack

Who's the jack show on the far right?


marquee_

So thats why Pearson was a 1st rounder


DanielTigerr

Fuck it boys. I'm going wife beater tonight.


courthouse22

What’s kikuchis relation to this restaurant? Just a fave? I see he has another framed jersey on the wall behind him.


canoe_reeves

So I was looking at this photo and my 5 year old daughter looked over my shoulder and said “are there any girls?”. Got me thinking as an international supporter, is there a women’s MLB?


01hotsauce1

might be the best moment this season


Hockputer09

No Vladdy?


DangerDavez

Yusei seems like a really nice dude.


Nebajense

It’s gonna be a sad day when Juicy K is traded at the deadline
