毎年、日ごろの感謝を伝えるためにお伊勢参りに行きます。

天照大御神がまつられている御正宮ではお願いごとではなく、感謝の気持ちのみを伝えなければ

いけないというのは知っていましたが、なんと伊勢神宮の内宮でお願いごとをしてもいいところ

があるそうです！荒祭宮というところで、しっかりとお願いごとをしてきました。

お伊勢参りに行ったときに欠かせないのが、おかげ横丁にある赤福と伊勢うどんです。

毎回食べるのをとっても楽しみにしています。

Hey ya’ll! So…for the last, I don’t know 7 months or so, Kohei and myself go to Gifu Tanmen every single Friday after work to eat and enjoy this feast!

Gifu Tanmen ( to my knowledge ) is only in Gifu Prefecture, and some parts of Aichi. Gifu Tanmen is the best, they really know how to make a tasty broth, full of vegetables and garlic. I love garlic. Usually, Kohei and I get about 2-3 extra Kaedama. If you don’t know what a Kaedama is, it’s essentially a noodle refill for about 150円！ It’s like you have a completely new ramen, for the low low price of 150!

みなさんこんにちは。

コロナウイルスで休校が決まりましたね。しっかり手洗いうがいをし、不要な外出を控える。外出するときはマスクをつけるなど出来る限りの予防をしましょう。

I’ve been seeing flowers blooming around Ogaki the past couple weeks, much to my delight. Winter will always be my most beloved season, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate elements of the warmer seasons. While I’m reluctant to photograph people (or even myself), I quite enjoy capturing flora on camera whenever possible. Flowers only live a short time, so capturing them on film is how I can preserve them in the long term, as fresh and beautiful as the day I first admired them.

I don’t have my preferred camera with me to fully take advantage of the flower season, but even lower quality images on my phone are still wonderful. I often scroll through the many, many photos stored on my phone to remember beautiful hiking trips, everyday wonders, and events. I look forward to adding some local flora to my digital collection this season. But for now, here are some roses from the Seattle area.
