Toshikoshi-soba

日本では、12月31日のことを、"大晦日"と言います。大晦日の夜に蕎麦を食べる習慣が日本にあります。"年越し蕎麦"とよばれ、"蕎麦のように細く長く生きられるように"という意味が込められています。なので今日は、多くの日本人が年越し蕎麦を食べるはずです。



In Japan, a day of 31st Dec is called "oomisoka". There is a Japanese custom that soba is eaten night of oomisoka. It's called "Toshikoshi-soba", and this custom mean "i wish to live like soba, long and thin". And today, almost Japanese may eat Toshikoshi-soba .
Me? I aet it already, the picture is that.

How to become typing Japanese

昨日、友達からひらながの入力方法を聞かれました。でも私は日本語版のOSを使っているため最初から日本語を入力できるので、日本語を入力できるようにする方法を知りませんでした。Googleに聞いて、ページを見つけました。彼がこのページを参考にして、日本語が入力できるようになったので、あなたも出来るようになると思います。 A happy New Year. よいお歳を!

きのう、ともだちから　ひらがなの　にゅうりょくほうほうを　きかれました。でも　わたしは　にほんごばんのOSを　つかっているため　さいしょから　にほんごを　にゅうりょくできるので、にほんごを　にゅうりょく　できるようにする　ほうほうを　しりませんでした。　googleに　きいて　ページを　みつけました。かれが　このぺーじを　さんこうにして、にほんごが　にゅうりょくできるように　なったので、あなたも　できるようになると　おもいます。A happy New Year. よいおとしを!

He could become to type Japanese refering to the page, I think you will become to type it. A happy New Year. Yoi otoshiwo!

"Happy new year" is not "Akemashite Omedetou"

The other day, some guy said to me on skype "あけましておめでとうございます(akemashite omedeto gozaimasu)！".

lol.

But then I did know it, "あけましておめでとう" isnot "Happy new year".

"あけましておめでとう" can be used only after the year was changed. So it's so strange to use before the new year. You can use "よいおとしを(yoi otoshi wo)" instead of "あけましておめでとう".

"よいおとしを" means mostly same of "happy new year". "よいおとしを" is a farewell sentence like good-bye. so you cann't say it when you see someone. Please try to say "よいおとしを" when you'll part someone last of year.

Yuzuyu

冬至は北半球で太陽が最も低くなる日です。そのため、日照時間が一番短い日でもあります。日本では、その日に柚子をお風呂に入れる習慣があり、それをゆず湯といいます。香りがよく、風邪を引かなくなると言われています。なので、ゆずを一つ買ってきて、お風呂に入れました。ゆず湯ができ、子供が日本の古い習慣を経験出来たので満足でした。が、この記事を書くためにググって知ったのですが、柚子は沢山入れたほうがいいようです。その方が、香りも効果も高くなるらしいです。来年は、たくさん柚子を買ってきたいと思います。


とうじは　きたはんきゅうで　たいようが　もっともひくくなる　ひです。そのため、にっしょうじかんが　いちばん　みじかいひでも　あります。にほんでは、そのひに　ゆずを　おふろに　いれる　しゅうかんがあり、それを　ゆずゆといいます。かおりがよく、かぜをひかなくなると　いわれています。なので、ゆずを　ひとつかってきて、おふろに　いれました。ゆずゆができ、こどもが　にほんの　ふるいしゅうかんを　けいけんできたので、まんぞくでした。が、このきじを　かくためにググって　しったのですが、ゆずは　たくさんいれたほうが　いいようです。そのほうが、かおりも　こうかも　たかくなる　らしいです。らいねんは、たくさん　ゆずを　かってきたいと　おもいます。

The winter solstice is a day that the sun is lowest in the northern hemisphere, so it's the shortest day of hours of sunshine there. In Japan, there is a custom to take a bath with yuzu that day. It's called "YUZUYU", It is good to reject catching a cold and is good perfume. So I bought one yuzu and put it into my bathtab. I was sutisfied to make YUZUYU, and my sons were with Japanese old custom. But I know it now googled to write this post, it's better to use a lot of yuzu. It becomes better smells and many effects. Next Year, I'll maybe buy a lot of yuzu.

Merry Christmas!

Marry Christmas!

I hope your happy Christmas and your happy new year!
楽しいクリスマスと幸せな新年をお祈り致します




I'm looking forward to having a look at faces of my sons when they find these.

The origin of Oyasuminasai

"おやすみなさい"ってどういう意味”って友達から聞かれました。私は"おやすみ = sleep"で、なさいは命令語で、"おやすみなさい は Do sleep"だと言いました。
が、そうは言ってみたけど、何か変です。何故命令形を使うんでしょう？
なんで、グーグルで答えを調べました。
"おやすみなさい"の完全な文は"（休みます）。おやすみなさい（ませんか）"です。
この意味は、"(I'll go to bed). (May you) go to bed?"だと思います。
ちなみに、写真は蕎麦屋に行ったときに撮ったものです。

"Oyasuminasai tte douiu imi?" tte tomodachi kara kikare mashita. Watashi ha "Oyashimi = sleep" de, nasai ha meireigo de, "Oyasuminasai ha Do sleep" dato iimashita.
ga, souha itte mitakedo, nanika hendesu. naze, Meireikei wo tsukaunndesyou?
nande, google de kotaewo shirabe mashita.
"Oyasminasai" no kanzenna bunha "(Yasumimasu). Oyasuminasai(masenka)"desu.
Kono imiha, "(I'll go to bed). (May you) go to bed?" dato omoimasu.
Chinamini syashinha, sobayani ittatokini totta monodesu.

I was asked from friends "what does oyaminasai mean". I saied "oyasumi = sleep", and "nasai is imperative sentence", so "oyasuminasai is Do sleep".But I said so, I thought it was a little strange. Why is this passage the imperative sentence?
So, I googled to find the answer.
The full sentence of "Oyasuminasai" is "(Yasumimasu). Oyasuminasai(masenka)".
It means "(I'll go to bed). (May you) go to bed?", I think so.
By the way, this picture was taken when I went to soba restaurant.

I'm asked how to make some Japanese foods. But I've run away to answer from that question, because of cooking words might be difficult for me. Today I try to explain it.

Food name: Kohukiimo
Ingredients:
Potate
Salt&pepper
Persley

How to make
1. flaypeel the potates and cut it to eat easily.
2. put it into a pot, pour in just enough water to cover, and cook the pod on medium heat
3. stew it
4. when potates become soft to eat, put the water away
5. swing the pot on medium heat until some powder is shown
6. turn off the heat. put salt and pepper and persley

KonnichiHA and KonnichiWA

Sometimes I have been asked "Why do you write Konnichiha, not Konnichiwa". I try to explain that reason.

"Konnichiha" can be separeted "Konnichi-ha", "Konnichi" means "Today". "ha" is a particle. When "ha" is used as a particle, it is said "wa". so "Konnichiha" is correct in text, but pronounced "Konnichiwa". I think that this is the most particular inflection in Japanese, but this inflection is more commonly used.
For example, "She is lucky" is "Kanojo ha lucky desu". This "ha" must say as "wa".

hmm, Could you understand it?

Gorgious Christmas Tree

六本木ヒルズに一億円のクリスマスツリーがあります。とても高いですね。でも大阪に1億5000万円のクリスマスツリーがあるそうです。高さが1.5メートル、21キログラムで、沢山のプラチナやダイヤモンド、真珠が使われています。4人の職人が3ヶ月かけて作りました。驚いたことに、このツリーは買えるようです。誰が買うんでしょうね。

New headset

両耳用のアナログコードがついているヘッドセットを使っていました。安かったしなかなか良かったんですが、PCの前から離れられないのがイヤでした。この前、新しいヘッドセットをアマゾンで買いました。ワイヤレスでBluetoothのヤツです。昨日、使ってみました。
良いと思って買ったんですが、古いヘッドセットと新しいのに差があるのがわかりました。最初に音の品質の差です。古いやつの音はいい音でノイズが入りませんが、新しいのはちょっとノイズが入っているのと、音がちょっと遅れます。次は電池です。新しいのは電池の残りを気にしなければなりません。ちょっと面倒です。
最後に、これが一番重要なんですが、新しいのは片耳用で、両耳では聞けません。私は英語のヒアリングが下手なので、片耳では上手く聞き取れません。両耳用のヘッドセットにすれば良かった。
いつか、新しいヘッドセットを不都合なく使えるようになりたいと思います。

I used a analog wired headset for both ears. It was a cheap but a good for me excepting I had be able to hear only in front of my PC. The other day, I bought a new little headset at Amazon, that was wireless and used the feature of bluetooth. Yesterday I tried it.
I thought It was pretty good, but it had some difference between the old headset and the new one. Fiest of all, it is a defference of the sound quality . The sounds of the old one is high quality and has no noise, but the new one has a little noise, and its sound is a little delayed. The next difference is about the battery. I have to take care the new one about the rest of battery, it's troublesome for me.
At last, this is the most important reason, the new one is for one ear, not for both of ears. I'm bad at hearing English, so I cannot hear with one ear well. I had better I choosed a headset for two ears.
I want to bacome using this new headset without unconvinience some day.

Thanks for correction of my post.

セバスチャンとジョンありがとう。Blogの英語のミスを教えてくれました。多謝。

Thanks a lot Sebastian and jon.They taught me some English mistakes of my post . I appreciate your help.


Today, I found a good mood soba restaurant when I was walking at Akasaka. All on (of) a sudden I became to want to eat soba, (This sounds odd, try "I wanted to eat soba", or "I got the urge to eat soba") I decided to get a something to eat at that restaurant.
I got in and saw (Use "look" instead of "saw.") around, so small room, there are only 3 tables and only 14 chairs. It was crowded and there is (was) no empty chair. So I waited at the entrance for a while.
After I sat in my seat, I made an order "Rororo soba" that is ¥1000 . Umeboshi and quail's egg and scissors for quail's egg are on the table.
Soba of this restaurant was a little green, it's a little odd but very delicious soba. (You write well, however just remember to keep the same verb tense. You switch between "was" and "is", which is past and present tense.)


もっと注意して書かなきゃ。ありがとう！

I'll try to write more carefully :) Thanks!

Kaiten-zushi de bounenkai

昨夜、会社の同僚と忘年会をしました。回転寿司を二時間借り切りました。去年パリで回転寿司を見たことがあるので、たぶん世界でも知られていると思います（本当かな？）。ベルトコンベアみたいな大きな機械があり、たくさんの寿司の皿が回っていて、食べたいお皿を取ります。10皿と青のり汁を食べてお腹いっぱいになりました。とてもおいしく、楽しみました。

Last night, I attended a year-end party(called bounenkai) with co-workers. The party was at Kaiten-zushi and we reserved all of the restaurant for 2 hours. I had looked Kaiten-zushi in Paris last year, so I think it's known to the world(is it true?). There is a big machine like a belt conveyer, that turns around a lot of plates of sushi,and you can get plates that you want to eat. I was so full that I ate 10 plates and one soup of aonori. It was very good taste, I enjoyed it.

Today's lunch is Soba

今日、赤坂を歩いていたら、いい感じの蕎麦屋を見つけました。急に蕎麦が食べたくなったので、この店で何か食べることにしました。
店に入って回りを見たら、すごく小さい部屋にテーブルが３つ、椅子が14個しかありません。混んでいて空いている椅子はありませんでした。ちょっと店の入り口でまたされました。
席に座って、1000円のとろろそばをたのみました。机に梅干しとウズラの卵とウズラの卵用のはさみ（名前あるのかな？）がありました。この店の蕎麦は少し緑で、ちょっとかわってますが、味はおいしいです。

きょう、あかさかを　あるいていたら、いいかんじの　そばやをみつけました。きゅうに　そばがたべたくなったので、このみせで　なにかたべることにしました。
みせにはいって　まわりをみたら、すごくちいさいへやにテーブルが３つ、いすが14こしかありません。こんでいて　あいているいすは　ありませんでした。ちょっと　みせのいりぐちで　またされました。
せきにすわって、1000えんの　とろろそばを　たのみました。つくえに　うめぼしと　ウズラのたまごと　ウズラのたまごようのはさみ（なまえあるのかな？）が　ありました。このみせのそばは　すこしみどりで　ちょっとかわってますが、　あじは　おいしいです。

Ishikari-nabe

石狩鍋という鍋をつくりました。石狩は北海道の地名で札幌のまわりのことです。そのため、石狩鍋の材料は北海道の特産品で、鮭やじゃがいも、人参、トウモロコシ（北海道ではとうきび）、バターなどです。ベースの味は味噌と昆布だしです。
石狩鍋は変わった食べ方があり、皿に取るとこまでは普通ですが、イクラをかけて食べます。とてもおいしいですよ。

I cooked a nabemono named "Ishikari-nabe". Ishikari is area name around Sapporo in Hokkaido. So Ishikari-nabe's ingredients are special products of Hokkaido like salmon, potates, carrots, corns, butter.The base taste of ishikari-nabe is miso taste and seaweed broth.
There is a special erving idea to have a ishikari-nabe, it's a common before giving deal into the dish, the salmon caviar put into the dish and eat them. It's so tasty.

Jingisukan and Asahikawa ramen

昨日の夜ご飯はジンギスカンを食べました。北海道では人気のある食べ物です。去年、ジンギスカンはヘルシーだということで、ジンギスカンブームになりました。今ではどの街でも食べれます。これは、北海道の叔父から貰いました。

次に、今日のお昼はラーメンを食べました。北海道の叔母から貰いました。ラーメンは日本ではメジャーな食べ物で、いろんな種類のラーメンがあります。これはその中の一つ旭川ラーメンです。旭川は北海道の市の名前で、とても寒い街です。

今日書いたものは全部北海道にちなんだ食べ物でした。いくら北海道出身っていってもこんなのは稀です。


Kinou no yoru gohan ha jingisukan wo tabemashita. Hokkaido deha ninki no aru tabemono desu. Kyonen, Jingesukan ha Healthy dato iukotode, jingisukan boom ni narimasita. imadeha dono machidemo taberemasu. Koreha, hokkaido no oji kara moraimashita.

I cooked Jingisukan last dinner. It's famous Hokkaido food. Last year, it was a boom bacause of the jingisukan is healthy foods. So I may be able to eat every town now. This time, I get it from my uncle who live in Hokkaido.

And I ate ramen today's lunch. I got it from my aunt who live in Hokkaido. Ramen is so major foods in Japan, there are a lot of kind of ramens. This is a one of them "Asahikawa Ramen". Asahikawa is a city name of Hokkaido, and very cold city at winter.

I realized both foods are associated Hokkaido. This's a rera case by such a man who come from Hokkaido.

• When Honda had only 30 employees, Soichiro shouted on a orange crate "We became the top of the world". All employees were 2nd-classes and 3rd-classes. Such a company become a great company, It's not LUCK.

一橋大学の小林教授が講演を、聞きに行きました。
教授のことを詳しくは知らなかったのですが、講演を聴いているうちに、日本の至宝なんだろうなと思いました。
教授は"エアバッグ”業界で有名な方です。トヨタや日産、Big3など世界中の車メーカーがエアバッグの開発を（開発に成功しないから）打ち切った時に、ホンダにいた彼と5人の開発者が世界で始めてエアバッグを実用化させたのです。研究が始まったのは約20年前でした。
教授の講演は本当に面白く、刺激的でした。次のポストでは、簡単な内容を書きたいです。


Hitosubashi daigaku no kobayashi kyoujyu ga kouen wo , kikini ikimashita.
kyoujyu no kotowo kuwashikuha shiranakatta nodesuga, kouenwo kiiteiru uchini nihonno shihou nandarouna to omoimashita.

I went to listen the lecture of Professor Kobayashi of Hitotsubashi Univ. I didn't know him details, but I had been thought he was being great Japanese asset.
He is famous a particular domain "car airbag". When every car companies of all of the world had stoped to develop airbag, like Toyota, Nissan, and Big3, he and 5 workers had succeeded developing "airbag" at Honda. It' was about 20 years ago when his team started researching it.
I'm very very excited by his lecture. So I'll write brief contents of the lecture at a next post.

We had a my 33th birthday party.I and two sons tried to cook nigiri-zushi. My wife cooked us sumeshi.

I had already cooked nigiri-zushi, but my sons had never cooked it.
So I taught them how to cook it(but I'm good at cooking suchi :) ).
The picture of sushi is made by me. I think it's a pretty good.
My bigger son could make it as well as I could. But smaller son make someting like a big rice ball that is made with sumeshi and his hands, so the bigger son made smaller son nigiri-zushi. I was given a good muffler from my wife. She said to me "It looks nine on you with your jackat".

We had a good party with many nigiri-zushi, many osashimi, some beer, many wine, a cake, some shiokara, and a lot of joy.

Thanks for my family, and thank for many friends congratulating me.

Present from my sons

朝ごはんを作っていたら、”おとうさん、誕生日おめでとう”と居間にきた子供達に言われました。その時まで、今日が誕生日だったことは忘れてました。

When I cooked breakfast, my sons walked into the living room, then they said "Happy birthday dad". Then I remembered Today is my birthday.
They game me a present that they drew messages and drawings.
It made me so happy.
We have plan that we'll have a sushi that is cooked by ourself at this dinner together.

My favorite curry restaurant

カレーが好きです。特に駒沢にある"PICKEENOO(ピキヌー)"ってお店のカレーが好きです。この店のカレーはタイカレーをベースに日本人向けにアレンジされています。ちょっとした有名店で、すごくおいしいです。この店は12月9日から来年の1月8日までお休みです。オーナーがタイにカレーの修行に行くそうです。だから、しばらくの間は、ここのカレーが食べられなくて、寂しいです。

Curry ga suki desu. tokuni komazawa ni aru "PICKEENOO (PIKINU)" tte omiseno curry ga suki desu. kono miseno curry ha thai curry wo be-suni nihonjin mukeni arenji sarete imasu.

Dakara shibaraku no aidaha, kokono curry ga taberarenakute samishii desu.


It's curry that I like. I like spacially curry of this reataurant that named "PICKEENOO (PIKINU)" at Komazawa. Its curry based on thai curry , but it is arranged taste for Japanese.
It's a little famous , but has so tasty food. This shop is closed from 9, Dec to 8, Jan 2009. I heard the owner had been going to Thai to improve curry taste for a month a year. So I cannot eat it for the present, I miss it.

thanks!

後、疲れたんじゃなくて楽しんだんだけど、7人の人とチャットした。一日にこんなに沢山のひととチャットするのは始めて。
朝は、ステファニーとちょっとだけ、俺の時間が無かったんだけど。後同僚とちょっとやりとりした。その後、Nathanとちょっとはなした。日本語のテスト前らしい。会社に戻ってから、イタリアのサラと。もうひらがなを覚えたみたい。あとDale。奥さん日本人だって始めて教えてくれた。上手いはずだよ、それは。そして家に帰ってから、サラとジミ、SteffとEkbalmと。

昨日、家族でお歳暮でもらった毛蟹を食べました。
日本ではいろんな種類の蟹があります、毛蟹、タラバ蟹、油蟹、…。
一番好きなのは毛蟹。そうコレです。毛蟹は他のカニよりも小さいですが、深い味わいと塩味がいい感じです。蟹の脳（？）は、”みそ”といい飲んべえにはとても人気があります。
日本にきたら是非食べてね。おすすめ。

Kinou kazoku de oseibo de moratta Kegani wo tabemashita.
Nihon deha ironna syurui no kani ga arimasu. Kegani, Taraba-gani, Abura-gani, .

Yesterday, My family ate Kegani what we were given from my uncle as "OSEIBO".
There are kinds of crab in Japan, Kegani, Tarabagani, Aburagani, etc.
My favorite grab is Kegani, yes this is. Kegani is smaller than other grab. But it is deeply taste and a little salty. Kegani's brain(?) is popular to taste very good for the people that love drinking. It's called "Miso".
You had better you do try it when you'll be in Japan.
I recommend you very much.


thanks! bye!

The buzzwords of 2008

Maitoshi 12gatu ni, ryukougo taishou ga happyou saremasu. Ryuukougo wo sugoku jyouzu ni setumei siteiru peji wo mitsuke mashita .GJ. "GJ" ha nihon no slang de Good Job no kotodesu. Onnnaji youni tukaimasuka?

Every December, The buzzwords of years have been announced in Japan.
I found a very good site that explains for all words. GJ. "Good Job" in Japanese slang , do you use same case?


Nanode, tokuni setumei suru hituyouha nainodesu. Demo kyouha, hitotsu no kotoba wo chotto hukaku setumei shitemimasu.

I needn't explain anything special. So today, I explain a word of them more deeply.


Sakkino site ha kou setumei shite imasu.

The site explain below.


“I am one of your works” (watashi wa anata no sakuhin no hitotsu desu - 私もあなたの作品の一つです): Following the death of legendary manga artist Fujio Akatsuka on August 2, comedian and TV personality Tamori (a.k.a. Kazuyoshi Morita) delivered a eulogy, in which he said, “I am one of your multitude of works.” Akatsuka was instrumental in helping Tamori during his early years in show business.

kono bun ha takusan no watashi no shiranai kotobaga arimasu, watashi ha konnani jyozuni kakemasen.
This sentence has many words that I don't know, so I cannot write these good sentence :) .

kono bunsyou ha tadashii desu, watashi mo TV de kou kiki mashiwa "私もあなたの作品の一つです。”. romaji ni honyaku ni machigai ga arimasu "watashi wa anata no sakuhin no hitotsu desu" . tadashikuha, "watashi *mo* anata no sakuhin no hitotsu desu" desu. mo ha "Yoo too" no too to onaji imidesu. kono chigai wo setumei shimasu.

This sentence is correct, and I heard at TV "私もあなたの作品の一つです。”. but the sentence of translated romaji "watashi wa anata no sakuhin no hitotsu desu" is wrong . By right, "watashi *mo* anata no sakuhin no hitotsu desu". mo is too like "You too". I'd like to explain this change.


Fujio Akatsuka ha densetuteki na mangaka desu. kareno sakuhin ha hotondono nihonjin ga shitte imasu. mata tamori ha subete no nihonjin ga shitte iru hazudesu.
Fujio Akatsuka is legendary manga artist. Almost of Japanese know his works. And all of Japanese know Tamori.


sonnna tamori ga ittanodesu,
"I'm nothing more than one of your many other works".

So he said,
"I'm nothing more than one of your many other works".

I think so.



Motomoto, watashi ha tamori ga amari sukideha arimasen deshitaga. Demo kono supi-chi de kareheno kangaega kawarimasita.
Kareno subeteno supi-chi ha kokoni arimasuga, nagasugirushi mutukasi sugiruto omoimasu.
Kono hanashi ni kyoumi wo mottano nara, saigono ichi bun dake yomunoga iito omoimasu. Sorega ikano bubun desu. kono bubun ga supi-chi no core desu.

In fact, I didn't like Tamori. but I changed my thought for him by this speech.
All of his speech is here, but too long and too difficult.
If you are interested in this stroy, I suggest you read only last sentense. It's bellow. This is core of this speech.



「Watashi ha anata ni seizen osewani narinagara, hitokotomo oreiwo ittakotoga arimasen. Soreha nikushin ijyouno kankeidearu anatatono aidani, oreiwo iutokini tadayou taningyougina hunikiga tamaranakattanodesu. Anatamo onajikanngaeda toiukotowo, taninwo tuujite shirimasita. Sikasi, ima oreiwo iwasete itadakimasu. Akatuka sennsei, hontouni osewani narimashita. Arigatou gozaimashita. Watashiomo anatano ookno sakuhinno hitotsu desu.」
「私はあなたに生前お世話になりながら、一言もお礼を言ったことがありません。それは肉親以上の関係である あなたとの間に、お礼を言うときに漂う他人行儀な雰囲気がたまらなかったのです。あなたも同じ考えだということを、他人を通じて知りました。しかし、今お 礼を言わさせていただきます。赤塚先生、本当にお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。私もあなたの数多くの作品の一つです。」

atode, karega motteita kaminiha nanimo kaiteinai kotoga wakarimasita.
At a later date, we know Tamori's paper that had no words.

see you! bye.

Today's lunch was Udon and Onigiri

I went to Midtown to watch a conference "Sun Tech Days 2008 in Tokyo" at Roppongi. I've worked at Akasaka so I can take for 10 minutes by walk between my offece and Midtown, have visited some times. but I had never had someting to eat yet in Midtown, and had never walked around a area of restaurant.


So I was looking forward to stolling. I walked into the area soon, I found a restaurant "Miyatake Sanuki Seimensho" that had a line. I thought "this resraurant must be tasty". I stood in a last of the line automatically.


My ears picked up voices of someone, "I didn't know this restaurant, Did you know?". So I think it must be opened a restaurant recently.


The restaurant has some udon and some onigiri(rice ball) menu, and we can choose to eat in it and to take out. I orderd a big simple udon(no something aditional) and a takana onigiri, paid 600 yen. I think it is cheap to consider this busy area.


I ate udon with grated ginger and onigiri.
Its taste is simply and tasty.
It is Sanuki udon.


bye!

In Tokyo University

Last friday, I went to watch a conference at Yasuda Kodo in Tokyo university. This college is known as a one of the most excellent college in Japan, and Yasuda Kodo is familiar with a popular incident locality of a campus activism of Tokyo univercity that called "Toudai Hunsou".



President of this school said "It's most beautiful season for this collage", so I walked around colored leaves. One of the picuture is called "Sanshiro Pond"(this name come from a story "Sanshiro" of Soseki Natsume). It's so beautiful regardless of rainy.I recommend you this season if you'll visit to Japan.

This conference has many interesting issues for me about Japan, China and Korea, how to compete against each other to be fair, how to collaborate eath other, how to build a cooperative system to make innovation, etc. The topic of most intersting by me, "How to educate captains to lead these area". It's very difficult and too colossal for me. but after I watched some presentations and conversations, I thought I should consider it bit by bit.

Maybe We should it.

thanks
