Matcha

Do you like Japanese matcha green tea?
Well, we love it!

We had a tea ceremony the other day at our office, and enjoyed the relaxing time so much.

We invited a tea ceremony teacher, and she taught us the manners at tea ceremonies, the history of matcha, and so many other beautiful Japanese cultural things.
It was such a wonderful opprtunity!

Are you interested in tea ceremonies?

Ramen TARO in Kobe
It's getting warmer and warmer in Japan! The rainy season will start in a few weeks, and after that, we'll expect that very, very hot summer coming!

What do you like to eat on a hot summer day??
I love to eat hot ramen noodles!

The photo is a famous ramen restaurant in Kobe.
It's called 'Ramen TARO'.

The greasy Chashu pork (it's a very popular ramen topping!) on the noodles tastes great with the noodles!

Have you ever tasted ramen noodles??
If you have, where did you eat it?

日本はだんだん暑くなってきました。あと2週間もすれば梅雨。その後はアツイ暑い夏がやってきます!

This area is very close to the sea, and you can see the ocean from inside the train.
