Afternoon in Midtown

 ぜんざい Zenzai, sweet red bean with rice cake. Description from website: We start to serve Zenzai (a kind of sweet soup of azuki bean) of Aichi
prefecture that is Chef's home town.
The Azuki bean from "Ohkuramochi", a super popular Japanese style
confectionery store in Tokoname, is home made paste of 100% of
Hokkaido Tokachi azuki bean.
The glutinous rice is also from Aichi prefecture. The organic and low
agrochemical brown rice that is kept carefully in a low temperature
warehouse is polished just one day before being in market.
It's not only tasty food but also safe food that brings us nutrition.
This idea is same as NAARSIAWA's philosophy.

成澤シェフの出身地、愛知県のぜんざいのご提供が始まります。
常滑の超人気和菓子店「大蔵餅」さんから届いた小豆は「北海道十勝産小豆」100%使用による自家製餡。
餅米も愛知の無農薬米および低農薬米を玄米のまま、低温倉庫で大切に保管したものを製品にする前日に精米しています。おいしいだけではなく、安心して食べられるものを、食べることで体の滋養につながるものを・・・との考えは、まさにNARISAWAと一緒です。

Bus rider back home

Overheard a conversation between two senior ladies on the bus way back to home from work. One lady said she was worried about her daughter not getting married. "I was worried about her going out when she was young, and was careful not to let her go on date with some boys, but now I regret what I did. If she had more chances of meeting, she would've been married by now." The other lady was telling her that she was embarrassed by her daughter married to a man not from the good family. "Children of my brothers and cousins all married to the people from the good family. My daughter is the only one not married to such a good family. Even my husband's end relatives also married to decent family. I'm so embarrassed." The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. One is not happy about her daughter being single. One is not happy that her daughter doesn't belong to decent family that she can claim to her relatives. Probably both of them were trying to ...

20130601 Keiki Hula Ho'ike

20130601 Keiki Hula Ho'ike , a set on Flickr. After a few rehearsals and meetings in the mornings and evenings, the day of Hula show arrived. She had to go to elementary school in the morning though it's Sat, she left school early so that she could make it just enough to join the photo shooting. She was co-operative, and totally motivated and excited about the show. Her hair, outfit, dresses already left at the stage, got on a taxi, then we got to the venue. They started circle time already, getting ready for lining up for the photo. Then drama happened. I left her with the other girls and went look for her costume at back stage. They were moving around the stuff and I could not find it, had to search each room, then finally her stuff arrived. So I passed it to one of the teachers so that she could put it on to Ton. I went back to the stage, then found Ton crying so hard, came over to me. She insisted on staying with me, not dancing. Uh-oh. So, everybody, other...
