Cafe TORA

I went to Cafe TORA for the first time the other day.

Don't you think those dishes look strange?

I'm always thinking that food served in a restaurant must look beautiful and delicious.

The cooks seemed to have put everything, for example, boiled rice with SASAGE beans, a piece of salted cod roe pasted bread, various vegee, shrimps and so forth in a bowl without thinking how they look.

Buuuuut, the taste was superb.

A flavor of dried laver seaweed and a taste of mayonnaise went well with other foodstuffs.

Maybe, we'll return the Cafe again.

A Heavy Snowfall Blanketed Utsunomiya City

view from my home

 A heavy snowfall blanketed Utsunomiya city and its vicinity last weekend.

Remaining snow prevented me from weekday tennis practices.

Luckily, a sunny weekend came back today and yesterday.

I enjoyed jumping, running and hitting tennis balls today.

It refreshed me and gave energy to go to office tomorrow.

Rina Becomes 18 Years Old

Rina had her 18th birthday last week on January 8th.

We celebrated her birthday with her elder sister Emi, having a birthday cake bought by her grandma.

Rina is very busy for preparing her college entrance exams these days, but had a fun time for a little while.

Cafe 'A la Bonne Maman'

I went to a cafe 'A la Bonne Maman' in Kanuma city last Friday.

The cafe serves French cuisine and displays a collection of miscellaneous goods imported from France.

There were bookshelves having books for customers. I found several photo albums with pictures of the cafe owner traveling in France.

Since the atmosphere in the cafe was so similar to a cafe in France that we felt as if we were slipped into a city in that country.

We Wish You A Happy New Year.
