When I'm hung over, Miso soup helps me to feel better, really.....
Since long time ago, we have been having 'Miso soup' everyday,
and it might be also Japanese soul food,I think.
Miso is made from soy beans.
And it's easy to make soup with it!
I like 'Tofu (soybean curd)' and 'Vegetables' or 'Seaweed' in it ;)
Let me teach you how to make it!
1.Boil some water.
2.Add some soup stock made from fish and diced Tofu in there.
3, Lastly add some Miso and stir until dissolved in the soup.
That's all !!
I sometimes make it in the dormitory kitchen for my lunch.
If you are interested in, I can make it for you and you can taste it ;)
...........................if you have courage to taste it....haha!

If somebody asks me 'what is your favorite phrase?' then I definitely say....
'Ichigo Ichie' which means 'meeting only once in a lifetime'.
It will never happen again as this moment at this place with these people.
I just realized that we are spending such a precious time at every moment
and that is what it means - 'Meeting only once in a lifetime'.
Don't you think so too?
Anyway, let's grab some beers and...
Cheers! to this moment ;)

Konnichiwa!
Do you know what '3R' is ?
It stands for 'Reduce' 'Reuse' 'Recycle'
And I really care of ECO.....
Recently our daily lives don't let us feel any inconvenience, and they have been
still changing to new and more convenient ones, I think.
And now there are so many products people just purchase and waste.
We often see and hear about climates, plants and animals in danger,
you know.
Well, we can do something even if it's a tiny tiny thing, it will be a big change ;)
What is the most important is knowing them, thinking about them
and then get started with what we can do little by little.
It's not difficult................YES, WE CAN ;)
As to me, I always take with me my own chopsticks ,tiny plastic spoon
and Eco bag.
And I can say 'No, thank you' when asked if I need them.
YES, I CAN ;)
and ?
YES, YOU CAN!

raining and rainy days.....
We have a lot of those rainy days in June here.
But if it's my day off, that's good chance to be at home and spend time listening rain drops.
In this rainy season, we will see this flower, it's called 'Ajisai'
and
in kanji character it mean 'purple sun flower'.
And there are Ajisai temples all over Japan. They are temples with a lot of Ajisai planted in their gardens.
I have been to Meigetsuin(one of those Ajisai temples) in Kamakura a few years ago and it was beautiful....
Even if it's unluckily a rainy day,you are a lucky person to visit there.
Because Ajisai is much more beautiful in rainy days.
You can trust me ;)

Do you do something for Eco?
Yoshikazu is collecting caps of plastic bottles.
One day, we found a plastic bag with some bottle caps in the staff room.
and then his message was there.....
Since March, he has been collecting plastic bottle caps.
He has been asking for them when someone finish his or her drinks , or even from the rubish bin at our hotel.
Why? Because the caps of plastic bottle will be medication if we collect it enough
and it can save life for the children, specially for the third world....
This is actually some campaign and it's just great!!
http://www.jcv-jp.org/english/
Now we have box for that, Kayoko made it (she might be great artist!) :)
It looks rabbit a little bit and his name is 'Cappee' !!
Please put the caps in this box before you throw it away :)
Thank you for your cooperation....Arigatou from bottom of our heart..... ;)
One more shot☆
