supper Egg food~quiche & 茶碗蒸しCHAWAN-MUSHI~

KONNICHIWA!:D   It is fine,today.(KYOU-HA HARE DESU)
In spite of the rainy season(梅雨TSUYU), it is often fine.

At the night of Sunday, we went to watch a firefly(蛍:HOTARU) near.
It was small, but the bright fluorescent color was very beautiful.


It isn't put on a blog so much, but I also make sometimes cooking except Japanese-style dishes.
I made a quiche and pasta on that day.


The cooking on the left back is a 茶碗蒸しCHAWAN-MUSHI.
......a custard-like egg and vegetable dish steamed in a cup. ...I translated it. Then It's totally strange.
~~mix an egg and Japanese bouillon and seasoning. put shiitake(japanese mashroom) and a lobster or chicken etc.in a container. poured mixed egg mixture in it, and steam it. ~~
very good taste.

Ise robster 伊勢えび    A trip of Ise  伊勢の旅

We drove the seashore after having spent it slowly in Ise-jingu Grand Shrine.
There is Toba Aquarium鳥羽水族館 near. When we came to Ise several years ago, we visited there. It is a pleasant place. I suggest that you go to Ise-jingu Grand Shrine and the aquarium if you stay at Ise.


We stayed at the small lodging.

Ise is an area blessed with the food of the sea. We were able to eat many fish with supper.It is difficult for us to eat a fresh fish in a town,and so we want to eat delicious fishes at such a place !(^o^)

This is sashimi displayed luxuriously called [舟盛りHUNAMORI].
well....served boad?I cannot translate it(^_^;)Sashimi is displayed on the small boat beautifully.Many Japanese like sashimi. I match sake well.




These are a lobster and oysters. In Ise, a lobster is famous.
We haved wanted to eat Ise lobster!haha(^▽^)
This lobster is called 伊勢えび(ISE-EBI)Ise lobster, and the place name is named .
I could eat delicious food and was happy.

Ise Jingu Shrine. 伊勢神宮ISEJINGU

We went to Ise伊勢 in Mie三重県 at the end of April.

May 3 is Constitution Memorial Day. 4th is Greenery Day. And 5th is Children's Day. There are consecutive holidays in this way in May.
Many companies take a long holiday from the end of April to consecutive holidays of the May.
We call this rest G.W(Golden Week). People go home, or travel.
Because I was going to travel in the middle of May, I was not making the plan of the travel in GW. But it is dull that we have no plan on a holiday of one week. So,we stayed at Ise for 1 days.

Ise-jingu Grand Shrine is a very big Shinto shrine consisting of Naiku内宮 and Geku外宮.

There is the area called Oharai-machiおはらい町 and Okage-yokochoおかげ横丁,along an approach to a shrine of Naiku.There are many shops in there. Therefore I went to Naiku.
Many. It was very crowded there,because it was Golden Week.

A big pure river flows here.




There is usually washing space to cleanse your hand and mouth in the Shinto shrine. However, washing space was established in the big river here.The fresh green was very beautiful.




Naiku is dedicated to God called”Amaterasuomikami天照大神 ”who is the ancestral god of the Imperial Family. We climbed the stairs, and God is worshiped. We cannot photos there.


The forest of Miyauchi is considered to be precincts and cannot fell it. Such a big tree grows, too. His height is about 180 cm.(about 6 feet)




For consecutive holidays, we were able to watch Japanese traditional arts such as Japanese ability or dance.



Many foods which we can eat while walking is sold in this street.
The steamed bun called Akahukumochi赤福餅 is famous in Ise. A white rice cake is a steamed bun wrapped in bean jam. Because I sometimes ate it in a childhood, I did not buy it this time.But many people bought it. Please try to eat when you visited here.

Is Japan safe?  a murder case in Akihabara.

The war does not happen in Japan, and people do not carry a gun for daily life now. (But,recently it seems to be easy to more easily get it by overrunning of the Internet .)
Is this country completely safe by peace?
Seemingly Japan is peaceful. When I'm asked in this way, I am not answered a "yes".



Today,a shocking news was televised.
Murder of the slasher was generated in Akihabara秋葉原.
Akihabara is a famous electric street in Tokyo. And it is the place,too where the lovers of the animated cartoon or railroads,PC gather. It is one of sightseeing spots in Tokyo. The foreign tourist also comes recently.
The road in Akihabara becomes a pedestrian precinct on Sunday.
But, one track thrust in here, and three people were splashed. And, he cut people with the knife at the same time as getting off the car.
17 people including one policeman were able to slash. Seven of them died.

Some normal people spends every day when resentment collects. They cannot emanate the stress.
Some people becomes tired of it, and some thinks that it is responsible for the world.
And, they explode suddenly. Such a phantom killer homicide has happened in the past.

We can do the assumption that some dangers happens at night. But, their such haunting is very terrible in the daytime


The other day,one man murdered a woman who lived in the same apartment and cut it separately . And a terrible case to leave her to a restroom and a trash box happened.
The case that a parent murders a child, and a child murders a parent often happens.
It is a dangerous world.
I think that Japan is beautiful. There are a lot of kind people, too , I like here. However, it is a fact that such a terrible case happens.
