20120116-01.JPG
Here is Akitsu city in Hiroshima.
I lived in Hiroshima until I got married,but I know the name this town and had not dropped in once.
My mother said, ''these days,  the potato from this Akitsu is delicious, in the food floor of the department store, it is sold at reputation at "the splendid good price."''

20120116-02.JPG
There is a warehouse which stocks the just-harvested potatoes and they sell various potatoes on the opposite side street.

20120116-04.JPG


20120116-05.JPG
This potato's name is ''Maruaka'', a specialty of Akitsu.
I bought a lots of this potato, and cooked at the home, it was very very delicious!!!

20120116-06.JPG
The view from coastal.↑↑↑
There is the small islands and small bay in Setonaikai (Seto Inland Sea) that are visible to the other side. 
Another local specialty of Akitsu is an oyster.
According to my mother again, also in Hiroshima, the oyster of this Akitsu is delicious and became famous now.

Hiroshima is a producing district of an oyster famous in Japan. 
I was growing up with oyster in winter season when I was kid!
By the earthquake disaster on March 11, when the aquafarm of a northeastern oyster was destroyed, I heard the news that the aquaculture company of the oyster of Hiroshima offered various support.
Surely, also when the oyster bed in Brittany in France suffered damage, didn't the backer carry out from Hiroshima?

20120116-07.JPG
Also in the oyster place of production in such Hiroshima, here Akitsu is a place which can take a delicious oyster especially.
at the house of oyster trader,they are selling at retail oysters,we visited there.

20120116-08.JPG

20120116-09.JPG
Actually, here is not shop the contractor who cultivates an oyster and ships it. 
Therefore, when buy it directly here, it turned out that it is extremely cheap. 
Although the oyster was current price, the price of the big oyster with husks at this time was 90 yen(US$120) per piece. 
This price is the cheapest in the local, I think.because If I buy an oyster at the Hamamatsu city in Shizuoka prefecture, probably it costs 300 yen per piece.

20120116-10.JPG
I bought 30 pieces!!!! It brought from the back beach and put into the box.
I wanted buy more but the oyster with husks should eat early,so 30 pieces are enough for our family.

20120116-11.JPGのサムネール画像
In Japan, except the producing district of an oyster,is circulating shelled oysters.
Therefore, they seems to be busy with remove the husks of an oyster.

20120116-12.JPG

20120116-13.JPG
The oyster which turned and was used as the shelled is divided and sold for each size.
Japanese style cook with oyster, for example make it into deep-fried dishes, stir-fry it with vegetables,cook with pasta or it makes it into one-pot dishes. 

20120116-14.JPG
I could feel having came back to Hiroshima when I ate delicious oysters soooo many!!!


Trip #2 lokal Sake in Takehara

20120109-01.JPG
Please enjoy more Takehara trip!!

The Sake-brewing industry prosperous from long ago in Takehara.
Some brewing companies still remain in the aesthetic area. 
That I got interested especially in it is Taketsuru brewing company which is continuing traditional brewing. ↑↑

20120109-02.JPG
When it passes through the gate of an old store, it is a gloomy and long earthen floor. 
Mr. Masataka Taketsuru (1894~1979) is also a founder of Nikka whiskey. 
When all Japanese had just Sake,he studied the technology in Scotland then began to make whiskey in Japan.
The present Nikka whiskey is a separate company and Taketsuru brewing is a small-scale maker but I could feel that there is the tradition and prideful space when passed through the gate.

20120109-03.JPG
A tool, a label, etc. which were being used a long time ago are exhibited at the attic room of Taketsuru brewing.

20120109-04.JPG
at the ground floor, people have tasting Sake.
I couldn't taste because I had to drive a car....looks very good taste Sake and everyone seems enjoy it!!

20120109-05.JPGのサムネール画像
Sake is made from rice. 
They make the best Sake which is rice-flavored.
It is the method of traditional brewing which cultivates the yeast fungus used as the basis of alcohol by the power of a nature.
but this requires the most time and effort and time,so various additives are added, a time crunch is carried out, and it is built with the present age when technology progressed. 
There are also many Taketsuru's fans who ask for traditional Sake.
''so, such visitors sympathize with our policy''
owner's wife told me that.

20120109-06.JPG
This Sake is yellow a little bit although sake has a water-white image.

20120109-07.jpgのサムネール画像
I bought this a bottle of Sake,it is ''Hiden''.
I don't drink Sake,actually I can't....however this Hiden is very very tasty!!!!
this is very rich flavor and clear taste!!!
If the sake which met first is such tastes, I think that I had become a sake lover. 
My husband who usually have beer, Shochu(distilled spirit) and sometimes wine,said ''I can drink this Sake without limit'' !! then he did it....

20120109-08.JPG
 
The town in Takehara is many bamboos and, as for the roadside tree, the bamboo is planted.↑↑↑

We enjoy very much in Takehara, it is time to go back to Hiroshima!!
heading to the west, we drive along the coast.
However, my mother told us ''it goes more we can reach to Akitsu-city, we can have very nice oyster and potato at there...''
So, we decided to go Akitsu now!!!! why not!!!

I will tell you next time how was Akitsu!!!

20120102-01.JPG
A Happy New Yearshine
It is still very cold in Hiroshima but I really wanted to have enjoyable winter holiday, so I planed the short trip.

The destination of a trip is an old town "Takehara" which is in Hiroshima. 
The Heian period (about 1000 years ago) to Kyoto and the relation of Takehara are deep, and it is the emotional town which made salt and Sake and prospered also after that.

There is very small town, it is possible to do sightseeing at half a day.
Not so many people visit here from outside the prefecture and foreign country,so here is little-known hot spots in Hiroshima prefecture.

20120102-02.JPG
This is the aesthetic area which leaves old rows of houses↑↑

20120102-03.JPG
a big house!!! and so beautiful walls covered with coat of greenish brown color plaster.

20120102-04.JPG
It is the feature that there is a lattice not only in this house but in the old houses of Takehara↓↓
All of art, since carpenters of those days vied in making a lattice more delicate.
It is interesting, if an one-house one-house design is different and sees and walks.

20120102-05.JPG

20120102-06.JPG
The building which is an important cultural property, you pay about 200yen admission fee, and can go into inside of the house.
There are the cafe and gallery which reformed the old private house, and there are also the grocery and liquor store which a local person uses ordinarily.

20120102-07.JPG
A Zen temple is located in end of an aesthetic area. 
It basked in the setting sun at this time, and was very beautiful.↓↓
I didn't go up to there because I am not interesting the temple.

20120102-08.JPG
Instead, it was an immediately near temple I went there for Hatsumode,(the first visit in the year to a shrine.)
It is said that this temple is called "Kodo" and is the oldest temple in Takehara. 

well, Did you know that Hermes is the god of business in Frence!? I didn't know it but my French friend told me!! then I was very surprised!!  so do you know how to call the god of business in Japanese? it calls ''Ebisu''  !!

20111010-01.JPG
We went to the museum of linear motor car in Nagoya-city.
It is a museum about the railroad just opened this year. 

This museum exists near the Nagoya harbor and there is an aquarium, shopping mall and an amusement park around there.
That day was also being crowded with many tourists. 

20111010-02.JPG
JR Tokai is managing this museum. 
The country was managing the biggest Japanese railroad companies JR once, and they were called ''Kokutetsu''(a national railway).
The history of a railroad of Japan is also tracing the history of JR which was Kokutetsu.

The appearance of a museum is very simple design.
an entrance gate is also very simple, I though is that fine??

20111010-03.JPG
However, there is very impressible space after the that gate.
only three rolling stocks are exhibited at there where is very dark and huge space.
That is very very powerful exhibition.
left side in the picture is a black SL.
Middle is the old Shinkansen.
innermost one is the next-generation technology liner motor.
These are all genuine articles.
We can get feel overwhelming presence from them.

I thought that the method of grand exhibition was wonderful. 
I am not a big railroad fan, but I feel like getting goose bumps.

20111010-04.JPG
This is the large-sized steam locomotive fastest by the Japanese maximum one built in Japan in 1948. 
Seemingly these vehicles marked 129 km/h and have the speed highest record of a steam locomotive. 
It is very huge anyhow.

20111010-05.JPG
This is a boiler room.
It repairs finely and seems to be a work of art completely. 

Speaking of the railroad in Japan, this has become the center of attention now. 
New next-generation liner motor ↓↓↓
The railroad of the next generation which floats the body and runs by the magnetism which arises between the super-conductive magnet carried in vehicles, and the coil installed on the ground. 
These exhibition vehicles recorded the world maximum speed by the railroad of 581 km/h in 2003. 
wow sooo cool isn't it???

20111010-06.JPG

20111010-07.JPG
There is room which can learn about the liner motor.
We can see that body of vehicles float with this model liner motor.
Can't imagine how is feel when ride on it!! it is not fly but body float then go on the rail.....

20111010-08.JPG
Many children were there in this exhibition room.
They are very interested in it.
actually this new liner motor will be open to traffic between Tokyo to Nagoya in 2027 and the schedule which will connects Osaka in 67 minutes from Tokyo in 2045.
It will be a natural world when these children grow up.

20111010-09.JPG
This museum has the equipment to which the simulation of the operation of the Shinkansen can be carried out. 
When you buy an admission ticket, the application ticket of the simulation sticks, and only the person who won it can experience. 
We couldn't get it!

20111010-10.JPG
Now, exhibition vehicles are in large numbers in others. 
for example, this is Dr, Yellow. my son's favorite one and he has this one's toy.
This is the vehicles which carry out check maintenance of the railroad.

20111010-11.JPG
Almost all vehicles can go into inside. 
In exhibition vehicles, I have met the very nostalgic Shinkansen again. 
well, I will introduce you detail about that next time!

It's Autumn season for events!

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
20111003-01.JPG
Autumn is a season of enjoyable.
In Japan, we call it ''the Autumn is good season for sports, art and appetite''.
It finished the sultry summer then our body and heart getting relaxing and cooler with nice weather. also the this season when delicious food fruits.
 
The first photo is Sarunako(Lake of Saruna) in Hamamatsu-city.
Many people are always in the park which encloses a lake as a place of citizens' relaxation.
The other day, the festival of autumn was held here. 

20111003-02.JPG
As I told by the last blog, the big typhoon hits to Hamamatsu and many trees of this park also fell.
Yes, it cleared up after the typhoon passed. we call it ''Typhoon Ikka''(台風一過) in Japanese.
If a typhoon passes, it is said that a rainstorm is blessed with fine weather like a lie.

20111003-03.JPG
people who wear the interesting costumes and play the music was coming here!!

20111003-04.JPG
They are ''Chindon-ya''. Chindon-ya is old style about 100 years ago costumed street musicians in Japan that advertise for shops.
Since it is the purpose to attract the public notice anyhow, they are dressing strangely. 

They are requested from the store to open or the store which carries out a bargain sale, and they parade a town, distribute handbills, or saying a sales message in loud voice. 
Although it was very popular long long time ago, I didn't see them when I was child.

20111003-05.JPG
The drum in this photograph is a drum peculiar to the Chindon-ya.
Alto sax is also in the photograph on one more. 
This sax sound is like sorrowful...
The Chindon-ya's performance has much sad musics.. I don't know why.
They are wearing unusual clothes but these middle-aged old guys who looks tired face..
so my image for the Chindon-ya is kind of dark..

ohhh, the pierrot of circus also makes people laugh however amusingness and sadness are two sides of the same coin. 
Are there any common point??

well, my family came to this event had the purpose.
That was because my children wanted to go the exchange bazaar.
The toy no longer using is brought to the hall, and get the point according to the toy, and can buy the favorite toy which other children brought on the point. 
No money, they can get toy with points!!

20111003-06.JPG
It is conditions that the toy has not broken and that it can still use enough. 

20111003-07.JPG
then get the points.
Can you see the frog in the point card?
in Japanese, ''can buy'' and ''exchange'' is same pronunciation ''Kaeru'' also frog is ''Kaeru'' too,that's why this event's character is ''Frog''!!

20111003-08.JPG
children can choose their favorite toy at there.

20111003-09.JPG
My daughter chose this dog.His name is lucky.
The toy is carried out in response to a voice!!
If you say, ''stand up lucky'' he stands up!!
now this dog is her favorite pet!!
I like this toy exchanging bazaar!! it is very nice idea for toys and kids!!!!


Typhoon

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
20110926-01.JPG
The large-scale typhoon hit Japan last month!!!
It was typhoon season in end of summer.
Japanese people become inured to hit typhoon but this year is different because many large-scale typhoon appeared then it has damaged everywhere in Japan.

The last one's typhoon hit directly Hamamatsu city where I live.
It was such a strong typhoon, I think it was first time experience in my life with that strong typhoon.

We can get information the prediction of the typhoon movement from the weather report.
but typhoon changes its courses and getting stronger or weak, so it changes details every time.

20110926-02.jpg
Took the typhoon course is inscribed by the white line↑↑
It took the course to west and turned and went up.
Even if it changed the course like this, its didn't lose the power this time.
So this powerful typhoon hit the Hamamatsu city with heavy rain and wind.

20110926-03.JPG
The elementary school which my daughter goes closed that day from the morning.
(We can get any information from the school by mobile phone mail)

That is screen of the TV new.
We couldn't go outside!! look at that screen, can't see anything...
When we were inside of the house but could hear a roaring sound....

and I had a slightly interesting experience. 
A typhoon moves whirling around. 
Therefore, direction of a wind changes,  before a typhoon comes and after going away.
the wind from the east blew violently and it was made sure for about 1 hour as the typhoon approached after that it stopped rain and wind.
Probably, that was in the eye of a typhoon.
when it was taken about 30 minutes, an intense west wind began to blow next.
This was the first time that the form of the typhoon was felt clearly so far.

20110926-04.JPG
well, after the typhoon went away, I walked outside to know what happened....
oh nooooooo,  many trees of the yard have fallen.  also the carport of a next door. 

and the power went out in the many area of Hamamatsu city.
Much damage was nationally brought about by this typhoon and many people died too.
We are not unrelated to a natural disaster, as long as we live in Japan of the small island country. 
However, if the season of this typhoon passes, a beautiful fall comes.

Hamamatsu Gyoza(dumpling)

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
20110919-01.JPG
Do you know ''Gyoza''? its a Chinese a dumpling with minced pork and vegetable stuffing.
People who live in Hamamatsu city love Gyoza very much!! so Hamamatsu city is the No1 or No2 specific consumption of eating Gyoza in Japan.
Nationally, it is seldom known that there is many Gyoza restaurants in Hamamatsu city.

Chinese people began to make the Gyoza, not only Hamamatsu but Japan all over the disorderly town after World War II. 
Japanese people learned making Gyoza by watching others and following their example, and it has been arranged in the style of Japan.

Hamamatsu Gyoza is in cabbage, onion and pork. because these were obtained easily in this area a long time ago, so people still keep use that stuff for Gyoza in Hamatsu city even if we can get any other ingredients now.
Hamamatsu Gyoza is loved by all generations!!

20110919-02.JPG
This is popular shop(restaurant) with noodles and Gyoza.
I went to this shop with my children around 5pm but there was already full.
There is only counter table witch look like the alphabet ''B''.
Waitress goes back and forth between two space of B to carry the Gyoza and noodle.

at the restaurants in Japan, of course you can sitting and chat face to face and stay longer there.
However, at the noodle or Soba(buckwheat), basically we can't be stay longer at that shop! everyone eat faster then go out soon. that is kind of unspoken rule.....
How about your country? do you have like that restaurant or shop at there??

20110919-03.JPG
This is Hamamatsu Gyoza.↑↑↑  it is about 1,000yen(about $US13.00) per plate which 20 pieces of Gyoza in one plate.
It is very delicious and healthy because vegetables are inside more than meat.

20110919-04.JPG
This is my favorite noodle at this shop.↓↓↓

20110919-05.JPG
Japanese people love order the noodle and Gyoza together.
I think, foreigner would love them too!!
When you come to Japan, you should try eat noodle and Gyoza!!

20110919-06.JPG
well, in Hamamatsu Gyoza shops,we can also buy takeout ''Gyoza''. 
many takeout shops for Gyoza in this area.
some people buy uncooked Gyoza then they cook it at the home.

I ordered Gyoza to go.↓↓↓
This Gyoza with homemade sauce.
If it has gotten cool, it is still delicious!!!

Ecology house

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
20110912-01.JPG
We called at the "Hamamatsu eco-house model dwelling" in the residential street in Hamamatsu. 
With the model house which it was built on the administration of Hamamatsu city about one year ago, anyone can inspect freely.
When passed through the door, the city personnel came out smilingly instantly. 
Since it says that the devices which live in ecology are explained one by one, let's follow after her!

20110912-02.JPG
Here is entrance.
It is doubled sliding door by which it is with the wooden door and screen door of the board.
When using the screen door,it can let a cool wind pass in a house in summer season.
If this house is seen from a top, it is a form of H of the alphabet and there are two small courtyards. 

20110912-03.JPG
When it enters from the door, there is a living room over a courtyard. ↑↑
It was very hot on that day, bu the cool wind had blown there. 

20110912-04.JPG
The courtyard which is crossed to the way of a living room and viewing from there. 

A dining room and living are one room and only the part is divided with the wall of the fireplace used in winter.
Seemingly the taken-in wind will serve as an air current and will go up to the second floor, since the ceiling is slanting.
Although it is big window, glass has carried out UV cut.
This house is with big eaves too, so it making the shade in summer season when the sun shines from a top and the light of a day enters into a house in winter season when the sun moves in the lower.

20110912-05.JPG


20110912-06.JPG
There is the same screen door as the front door also in this window.
The door which attached the board of the thin tree like the bone of a fish is called ''Garari'', and we has that design skill from ancient times in Japan.
All sides with this thin incline aslant, therefore, it can see the outside from in the house and can't see inside from easily from outside.

20110912-07.JPG
If a face is taken out from the door outside, the horizontal wall(brown color one) protrudes aslant. ↑↑
It is called ''Sode-Kabe''(a sleeve wall). This is also a certain construction system in Japan for many years.
This small wall takes the winds of a window gather, and the ventilation of a house becomes good.

20110912-08.jpg
Of course, it does not only depend on nature a wind.
A machine called a fan coil is under a floor, and blowing off the cold air under a floor from a ventilation is being in the summer. 
The air warmed at solar heat and fireplace is blown off from the same ventilation in the winter.

Can you see the small white hole in the picture?? ↓↓↓
standing at there, can feel cool air from there.
It is not necessary to use an air-conditioner in this house. 

20110912-09.JPG
This house is with the solar panel attached to the roof, does not need to buy electricity and the surplus electric power sells in an electric power company. 
It is said that a 10,000 yen or more profit has come out in one month. 

20110912-10.JPG
Furthermore, the Tenryu-sugi(Japan cedars) which is planted in local area of Tenryu in Hamamatsu city uses lots for this ecohouse.
This is the bath made with the Tenryu Japan cedar. 
Although the house of ancient times of Japan might make the bath from wood in this way, it is new now and is reflected very fresh to our generation.

20110912-11.JPG

20110912-12.JPG
The stairs and the wall which go to the second floor are also the Tenryu Japan cedars.
These stairs are assembled without using nails.
It is one of the ecology which must also hand down skillful carpenter work to future generations.

20110912-13.JPG
This is a natural stone used for the wall behind the fireplace of living.
It is high resistance to fire and thermal storage nature,then the heat of a stove is accumulated and it gets warm faintly.
That is very nice idea.
Thus, there will be various convenient construction materials. 
make use of nature and being with nature, that would be a wonderful life! don't you think so?
If everybody in Japan comes to take in such a device, I think that the surely comfortable and beautiful future is waiting. 



The history museum of a car

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
20110905-01.jpg
Recently, the history hall and museum which a company manages are prospering in Japan. 
For example, Toyota Automobile Museum in Aichi Prefecture is impressive, and nationally famous.
Automobile company Suzuki built the history hall of its company in Hamamatsu city last year.
It needs making a reservation for observation before you go but not charge to enter.

It was second time visiting there for me.
This museum is very nice!!
We can learn how was born the automobile company then how became growth company in Japanese history at there.

The first photograph is the weaving machine  produced when Suzuki inaugurated an enterprise and the black-and-white picture of the first presidents of Suzuki and employees.
The first president, Mr. Suzuki, was the second son of the farmhouse. 
The eldest son had to family business and second son had to leave home those days. 
Fortunately, since he was young, he was interested in mechanical structure rather than agriculture. 
Because he was looking at his mother who worked at the loom harder every night.

20110905-02.JPG
then he was always thinking '' what can I do for her''.

He applied a trial-and-error method repeatedly, and produced the useful weaving machine.
Many new style weaving machines produced and a company called Suzuki was born here. 

Then, Japan lost all by World War II, and the time of revival started.
so many companies thought made the motorbike and bicycle used as the leg of a life rather than weaving cloth. 
and Taking advantage of the know-how of weaving machine manufacture, a motorbike was built and it came to build a car gradually. 
This is the CARRY of Suzuki which was running the streets in Hamamatsu those days. ↓↓↓

20110905-03.JPG
It projected the Hamamatsu town street of 50 years ago on the back screen.
It can take in the atmosphere which the liquor store stacked the beer crate and drived on that street.

20110905-04.JPG
Furthermore, when a time progresses and it comes to have a private car at each family.
The appearance of the family who got the private car of the wish can be looked into through the crevice between concrete block walls.
There is a monitoring screen in the crevice between concrete block walls, and the players are playing the family of this house in the films.
We can also go into a space outside the front door of this house.
This car is Suzuki Fronte ↓↓↓

20110905-05.JPG
Of course, the motorbike and car of the Suzuki successive generation are also exhibited.
Since the commercials and historical backdrop which were broadcast on television those days are also exhibited together with it, the history which Japan has followed is known well. 

20110905-06.JPG
And also the situation of the present production site. 

20110905-07.JPG

20110905-08.JPG
There is children's favorite space↓↓↓

20110905-09.JPG
Exhibition which to showing us how to making the parts of the cars.
the end, the button of a front machine is pushed, the minicar of a car called SWIFT of Suzuki will come out. 

20110905-10.JPG
Although there were also other 3D theaters which can experience a factory tour, since sound and the image were too full-scale for a 4-year-old child to bear, I also retire on the way.

well,here is my opinion,
The time when Japan sprang for the fiber. 
The time when many thing were lost in war. 
The time in which everybody did their best for revival. 
The time when it asked for affluence. 
In various current of the times, Suzuki began to make timely what is regarded as people being required. Therefore,  the Suzuki is continuing existing as a still big company. 
People can keep going for the future even if there is some hard situations in front of them.
If the providence is followed, we will find and know something newly in this terrible situation after the 3.11 earthquake in Japan.
Now, it is the time to do thinking hard what we need for our future.

Do you know ''Henohenomoheji'' ?

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
20110829-01.jpg
Do you know ''henohenomoheji(へのへのもへじ)''??
All Japanese know that.
The word uses into the seven Japanese Hiragana characters to draw face; ''he''→へ ''no''→の ''he''→へ ''no''→の ''mo''→も ''he''→へ ''ji'' →じ .
liken Hiragana to eyebrows, eyes and nose etc, face parts.
It is said that it was in fashion in Japan at the Edo period time. 
The face mark(Kao-moji, called it in Japanese) likened with a face even in present-day Japan combining a character by mail of a mobile phone, etc. is often used.→  Kao-moji
Henohenomoheji may be able to called the originator.

The first of photograph's Henohenomoheji is written by my daughter as face of Teru-teru bozu ( a paper doll hung out the window with a wish for fine weather)

Once it memorizes,anyone can enjoy that it can write easily.

20110829-02.JPG
memorize just four characters of Japanese Hiragana ↑↑↑

20110829-03.JPG
The expression of the face done by those who write is various.
It is possible to make the face of various by shifting the position of the Hiragana characters a little.
well, I am guessing the ''Henohenomoheji'' is male!! because Japanese male named with ''JI'' is many, for example ''Koji'', ''Heiji'' ''Yuji'' etc.!! 

20110829-04.JPG
