June Japanese Table Talk (This is last one until August or September)

Last Friday, I went to a Japanese Table Talk which is once a month event for Greenville, NC. I know that I maybe thought that this will be my last one attending or maybe not. Well, that is not what I was going to talk about today. This time Japanese Table Talk was so much better and fun culture exchange with American people. We had Japanese culture food as usual but this time was cooking at the place where we meet. We had Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, Makizushi and So-men. I was not able to eat many of them, but I thought that American people loved to taste the Japanese food a lot more than usual. Also, several people were leaving from here, and we will miss them a lot. But I am sure new people are going to come here after they left. BUT still I will miss them a lot. Oh yes, we took a great group picture together! I am really happy to see that how many people came to here.

here is the group picture.

Today's Lunch: Simple Japanese Meal But....

I had a good lunch today, and I use Fire King Azurite dishes made in U.S.A ones. However, what I made for lunch was really typical Japanese meal, so looks like this is Japanese dish after all... Well, my meal is a healthy one this lunch and made me really happy anyway. So I like to post here for just small picture of it. My lunch menu was rice, miso soup, egg, and  steamed salmon with seasoning. It is a good lunch to eat like this when you have time for enjoying it. I was eating this lunch and really enjoyed it with my dogs around me. Well, this was a nice and a great spending for cooking and eating. Also, dishes makes this meal better than just using normal dishes. ahaha.
(今日のランチはとてもいいもので、ファイヤーキングの食器を使ってたべました。しかしながら、ランチメニューは日本独特のご飯になり、アメリカの食器にも関わらず日本の食器のような気分になりました。というのは食事が日本食で結構健康的なものになったというのもあります。そうだったのでさらに嬉しく幸せに感じました。今日のランチメニューはご飯、お味噌汁、生卵、そしてサーモン焼きでした。サーモンは味塩こしょうでちょっと味をつけてます。とても良いランチになりました。そして、ゆっくりと味わえる時にちゃんと食べておくべきだと思います。ゆっくりと調理ができ、味わえるのは最高の贅沢かもしれないですね。それに食器もいいものを使えばさらに美味しく感じます。)

July to September Japanese TV songs List.

I usually get information for songs in Japan from TV drama, and TV dramas change every three to four months in Japan. Then I can find new songs information. I usually like that what I can find and what I like to listen songs.
