Kushiro Wetland River Ranger
Every year, I receive a certificate of recognition as a River Ranger
from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
I’m planning another long stay in Kushiro this summer as well.
Can’t wait to enjoy it!
Curry.
The other day, I saw a curry buffet from Beisia featured on TV.
I went right away to a nearby Beisia and picked some up.
I paired it with some Massaman curry I had made before.
I also added Beisia’s prepared tonkatsu on the side.
Of course, I heated everything up so it tasted freshly made.
Nice.
Lawson 50% More!
My favorite Premium Roll Cake now comes with extra filling.
This cream is incredibly delicious.
As soon as it arrives at the store, it sells out right away.
Since Lawson is right next door to our house, I bought a bunch as soon as they restocked. It’s just as tasty as ever.
This past winter, it was 47% more, but this time it’s 50% more. Love it!
Shellfish Platter!
Looks good, right?
There was someone at my local supermarket putting together a display, so I asked if they could make one for me too.
They said it’d cost a bit more, but after thinking for a second, they said “1,000 yen.”
Sold!
Then they told me, “You can take this sample one too since it’s fresh.”
Score!
Sweets.
Ever since I picked up that Premium Roll Cake from Lawson, sweets have just been showing up! A friend brought over the famous Shingen Mochi, and a company from Shizuoka gave me a mandarin orange tart. When it rains, it pours?and honestly, I’m loving it.
I made some eel hitsumabushi!
Took my time and made it with care.
It was seriously delicious.
So soft and melty!
The smell was out of this world.
Finished it off with some ochazuke ? totally hit the spot!
The fresh greenery is beautiful.
The road in front of Kashiwanoha-campus Station is lined with sidewalks and terraces, creating a lovely streetscape.
I love how vibrant the new green leaves look.
Squid
I’ve loved squid ever since I was a child.
I wasn’t very fond of fish, though.
Squid used to be cheap back then, which was nice.
Now it’s a luxury item.
Recently, the price has gone down a little, so I tried cooking some.
With butter and soy sauce, or as ajillo?it’s delicious.

ローソンのお得な50%増量イベントです。
とってもいいね。
Lawson’s Going All Out!
Lawson’s running a sweet 50% extra deal.
Love it!
Pizza.
It’s just a 500-yen pizza from the supermarket, but I add my own special touches.
What do you think? Looks super delicious, right?
It’s truly transformed into a luxurious Italian dish.
Midsummer Day
It was hot?terribly hot?today felt like hell.
Even so, I go out every day.
Just a short outing today.
This hat is funny, isn’t it?
It’s fun?I wonder if anyone can tell who I am.
Ōshō’s Great Thanksgiving Festival
This is an event held at Gyoza no Ōshō locations nationwide.
Incredibly, you receive a 250-yen discount coupon for every 500 yen you spend.
Everyone seemed to know about it ? there were so many customers, people were lining up!
Jamon Serrano
I’m a big fan of this Spanish ham.
Had it today with some chilled Chinese noodles and a big toast loaded up like a honey toast dessert.
Using that thick-cut bread from Sokoichi makes it extra fun!
A Cappella Concert
A fun performance by students from the University of Tsukuba's a cappella groups!
They held the concert right in the restaurant of our senior apartment building.
Can you believe the university has 15 a cappella groups? Three of them came to sing for us.
It was such a nice change of pace?being around young people really lifted my spirits.
6月24日:アバカンサス:
この季節に豪華に咲き乱れます。
南アフリカ原産、大好きな花。
Agapanthus
In this season, they burst into splendid bloom,
A lavish display of nature’s grace.
Born in South Africa,
They are among the flowers I love most.
Jamón Serrano Pasta in Tomato Cream Sauce
A refined finale to 200g of exquisite Spanish cured ham.
Delicately layered over al dente pasta,
the rich, savory notes of Jamón Serrano harmonize
perfectly with a silky tomato cream sauce.
An indulgent, unforgettable flavor experience.
