Look at upper left in this picture. Today's main dish is "agedashi-tohu". It is fried tohu with soy sauce. And, Daikon-radish was in soy sauce and Miso-soup. It was so tasty.
My artifact is SOROBAN: Japanese abacus. This is a hand calculator. It was made from China and came to Japan. A vertical line is single digit. It helps us to calculate with their beads to change position. Under a bead means one. Upper bead means five. There are different types of soroban in this picture. One has a button to clean beads. Another one has no button, so it is cleared using the hand. We can do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with it. You get used to calculating with soroban, the next step is “ Anzan ” : mental arithmetic. First, imagine Soroban yourself and calculate the number in your head with the moving position of it. Soroban is one of the popular lessons in Japan from long ago. That is because Soroban students can not only prove calculation skills but also boost their own focus and attention span. So, many Japanese parents encourage their children to learn soroban. This soroban is my brother's. I also have soroban. But...
The other day, I join a club activity. It is Korean circle. Club members talked about trip, Halloween and snacks with people who live in Korea. Then, we were recommended this snack by a member who live in Korea. He said "once I start, I can't stop eating it!!" It's name means moist chocolate chip cookies. I saw the cookies at Korean shop in Niigata by chance. It is tasty and similar to " country ma'am ". But the cookies more salty than Japanese one. So, I want you to try it! Thank you to read...
Do you like comedy? Have you see comedian's live stage ever? I have seen stage of Japanese comedy twice in Osaka. Comedians made funny stage and they entertained so many people with jokes. So, I love Japanese comedy. But, after pandemic of covid-19, I couldn't go to Osaka to see the comedy long time. So, I missed it... Fortunately, I heard good news that famous comedians come and a comedy stage will be in Niigata! The stage title is " onmosye live". Onmosye is the Niigata dialect, it means funny. Needless to say, I took the ticket and saw the stage last week . Almost all comedian are famous, so I had seen on TV. I was so excited. Time flies so fast. I wish I would go Osaka again and see the stage more. Also, I recommend that you go to comedy live. Thank you for reading.
