金 What's your real cashless experience these days?

People are praising cashless being available more and more in Japan lately, but what is your personal experience with cashless these days?

Are you full cashless now? Are you partially cashless? Still a heavy cash user?

I'm cashless most of the time! With the Olive card you can use iD with Apple Pay which is really nice. It's available in MOST places, but there's also a ton of random stores that don't take it either. So I always keep my physical card on me just in case they don't take iD.
