Thi cafe is located at Sear street, just across of Raffles Hotel.

Universal Postal Coupon

when I received my friend's wedding invitation card,
I was so surprised.

It is pretty kind of custom that when we receive the wedding invitation, it encloses reply card (postage is already printed) to be posted to them.
It indicates whether to attend or not to attend, particulars and comments for new couple.

Due to my current living location, I thought just wanted to receive it from my friend only, but the still put reply card, together with postage.

Postage? to Japan?
She put this :


















What a surprise!
Actually, troubling her to send invitation card till to overseas, I am already very happy that they don't mind.
Not only that, but also she put postage coupon for me to send reply card in easy way.

I was so touched and immediately replied to her in email to thank her!!


This coupon can be used in those Postal union member country, printed price will be exchange to sender country's postage stamp.

It was so great to know got this kind of thing!
I didn't know till she give to me.

Summer delicacy

Summer food is!





Half wild Ayu(鮎) fish!
This Ayu fish is gifted by my mum's friend who fishes Ayu and only sell to Authentic Japanese Restaurants.
These Ayu is very high stream of Ota river and very precious delicacy.
(Ayu is only allowed to fish certain period of the year and need to apply permit to fish)

Ayu's best way of eating is just grill it and dip into kind of vinegar (Tade-su).
If the fish is from very clean stream, it taste nice and kind of mos fragrance.




















And also, well chilled watermelon!!
This watermelon sweetness was about 12Degree, not very sweet but cools down our body with Shiokness!




















It is really thankful that we can enjoy seasonal harvest.

67th ceremony.

This year's peace memorial ceremony is special.
It just because my grandma's name will be noted into the Bomb-victim's list.


We are coincidentally in Hiroshima right now and I decided to bring shiu-chan to the peace memorial ceremony.

Always the day is very hot, people always say "hot like the day bomb was dropped".




















It is good that shiu-chan could see the ceremony.




After the ceremony, we were walking towards main street and happened to see riot policemen.
I was first time to see them so closely.



















Their ranks are shown in no. of cherry blossoms.
We thought, "They look like Ninja"!!

Cold Udon.

Nowadays, really Japan's summer is getting hotter and hotter.

So those super hot days, to boost your appetite, we eat cold stuffs like tofu and cold noodles.
My favourite is to eat cold cold udon.




















Must accompanied with grated ginger, grated white radish, kabosu and sliced spring onions.
It is refreshing that can easily finish. =)

Chilled Udon.

I think Japan's summer is terribly getting hotter and hotter every year.
Humidity and sunlight makes people body feel painful on skin and takes away appetite.

So this kind of humid and super hot day,
I always love to eat cold noodles or any cold stuffs.




















One of it, cold udon is very shiok!
I need something cold and refreshing taste to ease my hot feeling.
In cold udon, for me, grated white radish and grated ginger are must!
Like this, if more kabosu citrus and lot of spring onion is the best.
Udon texture must be chewy, this is no need to say. haha =P

Okonomi yaki

Too hot to eat?
Yes, I know, but this is our soul food!!


Just regret that I couldn't eat it on the hot metal plate.



















For me, to enjoy Okonomiyaki,
Mayonnaise is not allowed.
But then, my preference is Udon, not Yakisoba...=P

Soul Food.

This is it!

My home town people is know to be very particular for this.
Hiroshima Style Okonomi-Yaki.
Because it is our soul food.

My favourite type is not so messy one, nicely prepared and never cut.
Of course, eat it directly from the counter top using small Hera =))
NO MAYONNAISE IS ALLOWED!!!

In-Flight meal.

SIA is now know as 3rd in Airline ranking.
Used to be always either 1st or 2nd.

But somehow, although rank is getting lower, their in-flight meal is getting better and better compare to past a few years.

...to bad that their dishes are still like very not presentable....
