Blog #7: わたしのしゅうまつ

 わたしのしゅうまつ

どようびに、わたしはごごにジムにいきました。バスケットボールをしました。たのしかったです。

それから、カフェでコーヒーをのみました。ゆっくりしました。

にちようびに、うちでアニメをみました。おもしろかったです。

でも、しゅくだいがたくさんありました。だから、よるにとしょかんでべんきょうしました。

Blog #6: Tokyo's Ramen Masters

 Kazumoto Ochiai is One of Tokyo's Ramen Masters

This video is such a cool look into Tokyo's ramen scene! Kazumoto Ochiai's story is really inspiring. He went from being a salaryman to becoming a ramen master just because of his love for food. You can tell he's super passionate about what he does, always tweaking his recipes and making sure every bowl is just right.

I love how he talks about the balance between soup, noodles, and toppings, and how important it is to taste the broth before adding anything. It really shows the level of detail and care that goes into making a perfect bowl of ramen. Plus, it’s interesting how ramen shops are such a big part of Tokyo's nightlife. People stopping by after a long night out just to grab a comforting bowl. 

Blog #5: 孤独のグルメ

 

孤独のグルメ

This video is a special conversation between Matsushige Yutaka, the lead actor of Kodoku no Gurume, and musician Kōmoto Hiroto, discussing the Kodoku no Gurume: The Movie. They reflect on their 40-year friendship, their early creative struggles, and how the film came to be. Kōmoto, who composed music for the movie, shares his excitement about collaborating with Matsushige again after decades, bringing a nostalgic and personal touch to the project.  

As a huge fan of Kodoku no Gurume and Matsushige Yutaka. He is one of my favorite Japanese actors. This conversation felt like a heartfelt reunion. Their talk about hunger, not just for food but for passion and creativity, really resonated with me.
