彩苑 竜平〜yakiniku〜



金曜日にお誕生日パーティで、JR福島駅にある彩苑竜平さんへ。約20名がYさんのために集合。一緒のテーブルだった2人の食べるスピードと食欲に流されていつもの2倍は食べました! 厚みのある塩タン、ビビン麺はためしてみるべき!

Friday night it was the birthday party of Mr.Y at Yakiniku restaurant. The name is Saien Ryuhei at near by JR Hukushima station. This was the first time of visiting. About 20people gathered there for Mr.Y. My seat was next to big man and in front of a man of quickly eating. So I also eat much and quickly more than my ordinaly. Other table's people were not so eat and not so many kind of foods. For the men two I could taste many kind of meat and other foods;) All foods were tasty, especially I recommend Bibin men(noodle)and thickness oxtongue. I never had the thickness oxtongue.Really yummy.

By the way I went to Uniqro which had opened from October of 1th at Shinsaibashi. You can't miss it because it is located in front of Loft. Anyway,I bought sweet room wears♡ Sweet wear bring me sweet dream?

ボク、ドラえもん。~DORAEMON~

本屋さんで人を待っているときに、たまたま“ドラえもん”の英語教材をみつけた。英語と日本語が書いてあるので、日常会話を楽しみながら勉強できそう。また通勤中の楽しみが一つ増えた。

WhileI was waiting for my friend at a book store, I found the book of DORAEMN (English version). The book is written by English and Japanse so I can learn English conversation with fun. The story is simple and just funny. It would make my commute more happy.

Birthday week.

今週は私の大切な人たちの誕生日が3回もある。昨日は早めの友達の誕生日会を三ノ宮のステキなお店で。今日は私の父の誕生日♬ 28日は知人2人の誕生日♬♬
なぜか私の周りにいる人たちの誕生日は11月と10月に集中しがち。
みなさん、おめでとう!

ちなみに今日から大阪はとーってもさぶい、急に。秋を飛び越して冬の様☃ これで紅葉も一気に色づくかな?

福知山市動物園~HUKUCHIYAMA ZOO~

今、日本中で話題のみわちゃんとウリボウに会いに福知山市動物園へ。入園料210円からも想像できるように、こじんまりとした動物園、というか動物村。例年の3倍の入園者がこの数カ月で訪れているとか・・・。私たちが訪れた土曜の午後もすごい人。みわちゃんとウリボウではなく、人を見に行った感じがちょっと・・・・。

The combination of  baby monkey and wild boar piglet at the Hukuchiyama zoo  is a topic in Japan. The baby monkey's name is Miwa and the wild boar piglet's name is Uribou. We say them “Rodeo”. So yesterday we went to the zoo to see them.

The zoo's admission is only 210yen! Very cheap! But the zoo is very very small size. It was like an animal village. When we were there, maybe there were more people than animals! Because of the news of Rodeo, so many tourists gathered.












運が良ければみれるかも!?
If you were lucky, you can watch them!?

クルム伊達〜Mrs.Date〜

靫公園のテニスコートでは、今日までHP JAPAN WOMEN OPEN TENNISが開催されていました。今日は決勝戦。クルム伊達さんが決勝まで残っていることもあり、珍しくお祭モードの靫公園でした。

The HP JAPAN WOMEN OPEN TENNIS had been held at the utsubo tennis center. So it was the finals today!
The game was Mrs. Krumm Date Kimiko vs. TANASUGARN Tamarine. A large number of spectators gathered to watch the great game. Around the tennis center was like a festival.




審判はオーストラリア人、対戦するのは日本人のKrumm伊達さん対タイ人のTANASUGARN Tamarineさん。私にとって縁のある3国が、このコートの上に集まったことは、私にとってはとても不思議なことの一つでした。。。

The umpire was  Australian. And Japanese and Thai's game. The combination was curious coincidence for me 

特に、伊達さんのファン、ということもなかったのですが、ライブで繰り広げられる試合を観ていると本当にいろんなことを考えるものだなあ〜と。かなり試合に入り込んでしまいました。NEWSを観ただけなら、勝敗が分かるだけなんだけど、この試合から伝わるこの2人のエネルギーは凄かったです!

I was not a fan of Mrs.Date until today. I got absorbed in the match because it was too energetic match. While the match I was thinking about many many things. My heart and head was so busy so I'm so tired : (
The news say victory or defeat of match. Live game is the game.





ここからが、拮抗する二人の精神力と体力のぶつかり合いで、、、観てるだけのわたしでさえハラハラ、ドキドキの繰り返しでとても疲れました。Tamarineさんが実にしつこかった! 本当にいい試合を体感させていただきました。

The match of three hours!  Their spiritual strength and physical strength had been competing for a long time.
 Tamarine was really persistent!





最終的には、Tamarineさんの勝利で、伊達さんを応援していた私にとっては、今も悔しさが残っているほどですが、、、勝つ人もあれば負ける人もいるのが試合なんだけど悔しい! そして何かに一生懸命取り組んでる人の姿は美しいと。。。

伊達さん、本当にお疲れ様でした。本当にゆっくり静養して下さいねとお伝えしたい気持ちです

It was finally victory of Tamarine. As for me, the result was very regrettable. Still now...  There are winner and loser in the world of the victory or defeat so the world is interesting. Mrs.Date is beautiful because she devotes herself to the tennis of at hand hard.  That's why she looks so beautiful.
“Otsukaresame deshita, Mrs.Krumm Date. Please take a rest:)”

嵐山〜Arashiyama〜

晴天の体育の日。阪急電車に揺られて、嵐山へ。
Beautiful weather. We had the national holiday. So we spent the day at Arashiyama.

嵐山といえば、渡月橋!写真では曇り空ですが、暑いくらいの晴天でした。
Speaking of Arashiyama, Togetsukyo(Bridge)!























始めて乗った京福電車(嵐電)、1車両だけの可愛らしい乗り物。
四条大宮までほのぼのした景色を楽しめます。あと、駅の中に足湯が!
I tried Keihuku-train at the first time. It is a cute train isn't is? You can enjoy local atmosphere from Arashiyama to Shijyo-oomiya. And more, you can try open-air foot bath at the station!


錦市場でみつけた“もちつき屋”さんのおしるこはかなり美味でした。歩き疲れた体にしみこみました~。運がよければ、もちつきを見ることができますよ。
We had oshiruko(typical japanese sweet) at Nishiki-ichiba(Market). So yummy. I recommend this cafe“Mochitsuki-ya”!

3連休、終わってしまったけれど、槇原さんの素敵なライブにはじまり、土曜日はMidousuji-Kappoに立ち寄ったお陰で、素敵なセレクトショップ“Toraya”を発掘。そして、今日は晴天の嵐山と....今夜はぐっすり眠れそう。連休よ、ありがとう

My 3 day-holidays was over. Oh, I have to report about “Makihara Noriyuki's live music”! I have to say “He is really wonderful singer!”. It was gorgeous time. The live music made me more more fan of Makihara:)

Yesterday I pass through Midosuji by my bicicle. There were many many people because of Kappo(Osaka city's big event). I couldn't ride my bicycle so I turned right the street, and I found a sweet  shop!! The shop was located at next to used book store;) I like the small area. The shop's name is “Toraya”. When I found the shop I was so happy because it was like a when I found the treasure box♪ Thanks, holidays

槇原敬之コンサート~Makihara Noriyuki~

金木犀の香りがほのかにするいい季節になりました。この週末はまたまた3連休。何をしようかな、わくわくするな。
土曜日は、大阪城ホールで槇原敬之さんのコンサート♪ 
私の友人の一人は、ライブ好きなのでいつもそのお供をするのだけれど、今回の槇原さんのコンサートはとても楽しみ。彼は大阪出身なんだなぁ。なんとなく近所のお兄ちゃん的な落ち着く存在、なんていうと失礼かな?

Today it was beautiful weather a fragrant olive's season has come. If you traveled Japan, now is best season!
Next Saturday it will be Makihara Noriyuki's live!  My friend like going to live music so almost time I join it;) I'm lucky because I have a friend have good hobby. I'm looking forward to seeing Makihara.

寝屋川のおばあちゃん。~Neyagawa's granma~

今日は姪の1歳のお誕生日(ちょっと早いけど)のお祝いのため、寝屋川の祖母宅へ。
兄も私も、そして遼一くん(甥)も、みーんな我が家は1歳の記念におもちを背負って歩かなければいけない。なぜかは分からないけれど。今日も大泣きするありさちゃんにおもちを背負わせて、皆でお祝い。


Today was  my niece's birthday party at Neyagawa's granma's house. One year's birthday is big event for our family. When my brother,me and  my nephew were  one year old, we did the event. The event is carrying a mochi. So today my niece did it.


寝屋川のおばあちゃんは調理師なので料理がとても上手、そして行事好き。今日も北海道風?赤飯(甘納豆が入っている)や鯛やらなんだかんだと、ごちそうを準備してくれました。みんなで食べると美味しい
My granma was a cook so her foods are tasty and more she love events. Today's menu were red beans steam rice(Hokkaido-style; because she was born at Hokkaido) and sea bream(tai), fried chicken and so on. A sea bream is necessity for happy occasions. Because Japanese name for sea bream,tai,suggests the word medetai(auspicious).


誕生日のお祝いにプレゼントした帽子を被ってスマイル
Happy smile!

UNIQLO from Osaka to the world?

今日、ユニクロの大型店が心斎橋にオープンした。電車の吊宣で“From Osaka
to the world”という宣伝文句をたびたび目にしたけれど、あまり行きたい!という気持にもなれず。
正直、他のユニクロと何が違うの?と。でも海外を旅してきたユニクロさんにおかえりなさいとも言いたい。そして、海外からみたユニクロってどんな感じなんだろうか?私の中では、GAP, BENETONと同じ並びか、それより下というイメージ。下には着こめるけれど、堂々とは着れないという初期の印象がなかなかぬぐい捨てられない・・・。ユニクロへ行ってわくわくしてみたいな
Uniqlo Shinsaibashi shop has opened today. Recently  I often see advertisements on a train. Words of the advertising is “From Osaka to the world. ~UNIQLO~”.  The first store was Osaka. So I want to say “Welcome home(Okaerinasai), Uniqlo-san.” And I have a question. What kind of UNIQLO's image from other countries's people?
Below is UNIQLO's commercial.



先日の朝の芸能ニュースで尾崎豊さんの息子さんがデビューすると話題になっていました。今更ながら、やっぱり、彼の歌う“I love you”は切ない名曲だな~と思いました。

The other day I learned on TV that Ozaki Yuuya who is Ozaki Yutaka's son makes his debut as a singer. Ozaki Yutaka is historical singer because he died 26years old. Because Ozaki Yuuya sings a famous tune of his father as a theme song of the commercials, he attract attention this time.
Ozaki Yutaka's great hit song which was “I love you” is really sweet and sad song.
