this week

yesterday, i went to dinner after rugby practice.I was so tired,and i was so hungry.However yesterday dinner was horrible!!no good dinner!I thought that lunch was better than dinner...so I tried to be looking for foods,and i desided to eat Ochaduke.do you know ochaduke?
Ochaduke means "soaked in green tea". Ochaduke is bowl of rice with green tea poured on it. It is eaten with salty food such as pickled vegetables, dried fish and seaweed boiled in soy saurce. It is found on the menus of drinking places (nomiya) as a late night snack after heavy drinking.So my father always eats ochaduke after hard drinking.After dinner,i watched YOUTUBE in my room,and i watched ko-ko yakyu.Koko-yakyu is high school baseball, and is comparable to American college football in popularity. A nationwide tournament is held twice a year. It is televised and draws enthusiastic viewers from all over Japan.About 10 oclock i was hungry again...so i made cup noodle,the name is oisii udon.it means deliciaus udon.have you eaten udon in japan?I like soba better than udon,however i like udon too!Udon are noodles made from wheat flour, and are a little thicker than soba noodles. Udon is eaten either from bowls filled with hot soup, or by dipping it into specific soup as in the case of Soba. Of these 2, the former is much more common. Japanese people like to put minced green onions and red pepper in the soup as spice.Last, i was so supraised Allen iverson!His hair was changed!!!He become old but his skill is the vest still now!
do not miss allen iverson!

green tea

Yesterday, i made green tea in my room and i drank it.The Japanese drink nihoncha (Japanese tea) on many occasions: with meals, at teatime, and whenever a visitor calls. There are many kinds of nihoncha, but the variety known as sencha is the kind that is drunk most often. Sencha is made from soft, young tea leaves picked in May or June, and it has an excellent astringency and fragrance.I have a teapot,so I tried to make very good tea yesterday.
First, Pour the hot water into my teapot, replace the lid, and allow to stand for about 1 minute.1minute is very important for good tea!So do not foget to wait 1 minute.
After 1minute,Pour into heated cup.my cup is japanese cup!
the name is Yunomi.that is old style,and I ate yokan!it is very sweet!
houever yokan is so expensive in unaited state,so i bought small yokans.
but the yokan gave me a power!
so i stayed up later and study hard last night.I studyed japanese,it is kokugo.my home work is very boring,and i spent much time to rearch the topic.the topic is kanji.kanji is japanese culture.
however once upon time japan did not have kanji!The Japanese language originally developed without a form of written expression. All communication took place orally. When people wanted to tell others of an important event they hired a professional narrator known as a kataribe. Kataribe traveled around and conveyed messages and important announcements to others. however this action sometimes tell wrong message to other people.so old japanese people started to use kanji. The descendants of those who immigrated to Japan worked as official recorders. They transcribed the ancient Japanese language, Yamatokotoba, into kanji. This provided the Japanese with their first form of written expression and allowed them to record important events and knowledge.everybody knows that japan and china use kanji,The use of kanji became more widespread as Chinese culture and literature spread to neighboring countries. The Korean Peninsula borders on China and many kanji and Chinese words became part of the indigenous language. In the 15th century the Korean people devised a system of characters with which to write their language. These are called Hangul letters. Today in The Republic of Korea (South Korea), Hangul characters are used in conjunction with kanji. However, kanji are not used in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea).
i tried so hard and i feel asleep now....
so see you next blog!

Setsubun

Yesterday, we have "Setsubun" literally means "division of seasons" and this day was the end of winter. On the evening of this day, people throw roasted soybeans inside and outside their houses with a cry of "Oniwa-soto, Fukuwa-uchi!" meaning "Devils out! Good luck in!". As the beans are thrown, it is believed good luck is invited in and bad luck is driven out.It is also customary to eat as many roasted beans as one's age. It is a kind of charm against ill luck.During Setsubun, children can throw roasted beans about the house to ward off evil spirits and other misfortune. In some families, an adult might put on a devil's mask and approach the children. The devil is pelted with beans until he leaves.However, I do not like setsubun,because it is verydifficult to clean our room after setsubun!Soybeans are very small,so we can not find out all soybeans!If we do not pick up all soybeans,maybe cockroach will come our room!
that is terrile!!!!!!see you nextblog...

coming soon

February 14 is Valentine's Day, but the day has been largely Japanized recently. It has become the day on which young women should give small gifts, commonly chocolate, not only to their boy friends, but also to their male colleagues or bosses, as a token of their love or good will. In the latter case, the gift is called "Giri Choko", or Obligation Chocolate, since it is given from the sense of obligation, and not from love. The proper manners for the recipients are that they should duly reciprocate the gifts on White Day ( March 14 ), which is a genuinely Japanese institution!!However American Valentine day is deferrerent!It is not like japan!AmericanValentine's Day is for lovers. A guy would only give something (chocolates or flowers) to a girl he's interested in. It's also a good day for a girl (or a guy) to be a secret admirer. Sometimes a high school club will raise money by selling roses. You buy a flower, sign a note saying, "from your secret admirer" and they deliver it to the person during school. This way, you won't embarress yourself by signing your name. The person will read the note and ask all of his friends if they know who it is. They'll all try to find out and eventually, if you think that person would be interested, you can let them find out or never ever tell and it can always be a mystery. I wanna get chocolate!!!!!
Please give me!lol
