Trick or Treat
At home, I placed a spider….

Golf at Ichihara Golf Club Kakinokidai Course
Today, I participated in the corporate golf tournament.
Honestly, I didn’t play well…but I did few things right.
I won the Longest Driver!
I received many winner prizes and participation goods: a cup noodle, bird’s nest, Carotino red palm fruit cooking oil, Life Chili Sauce, Soy Joy energy bar, banana, (Avian bottle – I drunk it during the game), golf balls (Titleist and Callaway), tees, Golf Digest towel, Mercedes Benz Goldman shoes case, red golf bag, Tokyo Sky Bus sightseeing tickets for two and Kinokuniya Book Store gift card!
And this is my first trophy of life. Yeahhhh
Sea Urchin @ Uni Kurau, Tsukiji
Usually restaurants at Tsukiji Fish Market area close by 3 pm, but this restaurant opens for dinner.
There are varieties of sea urchin available, Murasaki uni (sea urchin), Bafun uni (sea urchin).
Yeahhhhh
Genghis Khan at Kanda Genghis Oh (Genghis King)
We call this Japanese style Mongolian mutton BBQ, Genghis Khan.
I was wondering why we call this Hokkaido’s local food, Genghis Khan, naming after a founder and emperor of the Mongal Empior.
Today, I find out this is actually Mongolian food. hahaha
Japanese are good at modifying in Japanese way: name, food, English vocabulary, business style, etc.; simultaneously, good at creating confusions to international people. hahaha
I would recommend this restaurant because mattons are so fresh and serves a lot of bean sprouts and green onions!
It’s so delicious!
Last Sunday
I played golf at Hakone Kurakake Golf Course.
As you can see in the photo, we can admire Mr. Fuji while playing golf.
It’s awsime!
It was a nice day to play, but I fumbled at the last hole.
I felt miserable after the game.
Yes, it’s not easy…I deeply reflected on my game.
I need to be mentally strong!
Next game or next Sunday, I will improve my game!
YES!
Weekend in Hakone (Hot Spring Bath Area)
On the way to Hakone, we had a bite at Ebine Service Area.
American Dog (middle left) is innovated in Japan; it’s a nice snack, deep fried flour covered sausage (middle left).
To be honest with you, I recommend to try convenient store one. hahaha
Other snacks are pao, chashao pao (roasted pork bun), and shaomai (steamed meat dumpling).
Later, I managed to see Mt. Fuji; this is today’s Mt. Fuji♪
Then checked in at Kishu Tetsudo Hakone Gora Hotel.
Hakone is famous for hot spring area; after check-in, we dipped in a hot spring bath before dinner.
My body appreciated this dipping after participating in Japan International Aerospace Exhibition 2016.
While our body were still hot, we had beer; this beer has a unique label: Hakone Sapporo Beer.
Yeah, dinner!
And of course, we need nice sake to enjoy them: Atsukan (hot local sake, Hakoneyama).
I’ll dip again before I go to futon. fufufu
Oyasuminasai.
Ariake & Odaiba Area
When I came out from Tokyo Big Sight, I heard music and saw people looking up.
Projection mapping was demonstrated ON Tokyo Big Sight.
I didn’t know about this so I wasn’t prepared.
I wish I could take a better photo to share it. Ahhhhh
I went to Odaiba for dinner.
I’ve posted photos of Odaiba few times, but I love the scenery of Tokyo from here…Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge and highrise buildings…in addition, yakatabune (Japanese traditional boats).
The wheather is nice to walk around the area.
We can spot Halloween decoration here and there.
You might seen the scenery; but don’t you think these are gorgeous?
Tokyo Olympic 2020
Today, I went to Tokyo Big Sight.
This place will become Press Centre for Tokyo Olympics 2020.
This area will change drastically for preparation for Olympics in 2020.
I hope Tokyo will change for better.
Is it Christmas?
I should decorate my apaertment for coming Halloween.
Instead, I had to take out Christmas designed toilet paper that my friend gave me because I forgot to buy toilet paper… Ho Ho Ho
One Sunday
I wanted to play golf today, but it rained heavily.
We decided to practice at a driving range.
It was a good practice, but I miss playing golf; I played my last game in December 2015…2015…
Yes, it was unfortunate that it rained heavily….
For dinner, cooked Kamonabe (duck pot).
It was delicious with variety of vegetables: shiitake mushroom, bunashimeji mushroom, enoki mushroom, hakusai (Chinese cabege), mizuna (potherb mustard), and negi (green onion).
After enjoying duck and vegetables, we cooked zosui (porridge) with this delicious stock by adding egg and rice.
I was recommended to enjoy it with umeboshi (sour plum) and surprisingly, it’s goooood.
I enjoyed my dinner with Kirin’s seasonal beers.
I’m not a beer expert, but this is how enjoyed… Akiaji (ale, right) and Izayoinotsuki (pilsunar, left).
Both of them are nice in each way; I would recommend you to try them.
Autumn is harvest time; I’m glad to be Japanese to enjoy seasonal food and drink♪
