Hello. This is Yuki from Sakura Hostel Asakusa.

Do you like cupnoodles? I like them. There are many kinds of cupnoodles in Japan.

I have been to Cupnoodles Museum in Yokohama recently.

Look at these cupnoodles.Can you find your favorite one?







I found many cupnoodles that I used to eat.

Also, I made own cupnoodle at the museum.









I had a good experience that I could know the process of making cupnoodles.

This ice cream's flavor was cupnoodle with soy sauce, and I didn't like it.



If you have an opportunity to go there, please try it.

Hello there.

This time, I'm gonna write about "Kabukiza"

It's very popular for sightseeing!!

Please check it out!!

Kabuki is a traditional Japanese theater form, which is listed as part of UNESCO's?Intangible?Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Kabuki originated in the 17th century, within the Edo period when a woman called "Okuni of Izumo" performed a Buddhist dance in Kyoto. Originally, both men and women acted in Kabuki. However, because of the?prevailing?moral order, eventually only male actors were allowed to perform the plays. So these days women's roles are played by male actors, called onnagata. Other major male roles are played in a rough style, known as aragoto, or a soft style, wagoto, among other ways.

This is a picture about a building exterior

If you have interesting? in Kabuki, why don't you go to there!?

Hello.This is Yuki from Sakura Hostel Asakusa.

Have you been to Miyakojima?
If you haven't, the please is going to be on your bucket list.

Miyakojima is located about 300 kilometers southeast of mainland Okinawa.
It takes about 3 hours from Haneda Airport.

You can relax on the several beaches and have traditional cuisine.
Once you land on the island, you never want to leave the place.

I put some pictures.

Hi ya :)

Have you ever been to Osaka?

Well, I sometimes visit the second largest city in japan, to enjoy the local foods :D

So this time, follow the introductions of Osakan yummy foods

that you should not miss out.

1) you know this is the typically one,

"Takoyaki", everyone's favourite can be seen in loads of places on the streets in Osaka.

Tried the one near Namba serves original,soy sauce, salt and ponzu sauce flavours.

2)　"Okonomiyaki", another your favourite you can not ignore if you stay in Osaka.

But also recommend you to try "Negiyaki"(right one in the pic below)

which is similar to Okonomiyaki but uses long green onions instead of cabbage.

3) And remember the locals in Osaka love "Udon"

You can choose the basic dish and toppings like several kinds of Tempura,as you like.

I chose this, "Bukkake" udon with beef and tempuras of egg and fish sausage.

Actually you'd be able to try Osakan foods in Tokyo area

by going their branches here,

but in my opinion,

something seems a bit diffrent from the ones in Osaka.

Dunno why, though.

So try and see whether if this is correct or not.

See ya!
