Weekend leisure!

We went on the ship called Santa maria at Nanko(Osaka port). You can see the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan on the picture behind my husband. This aquarium is massive and you can see about 580 different kind of fishes and mammals.http://www.kaiyukan.com/eng/index.htm



We went to the shopping arcade to buy Osaka's famous steamed buns for first time.
In this arcade there were many nice little Japanese traditional shops of food, flowers,cloths, sweets and so on.
Then we found the bakery we were looking for.
They give you 50% discount if you go with a child under the age of 5!!! which was a great offer.
There steamed buns were so good. We would definitely go back and get some more.

Hi Iwao, Sachi & Ami,

You really are tempting me with your motherland, I must visit, everything looks great...... so different to England.

Sachi, If I ever do visit, I would certainly take on your diet, I would like to experience it and feel the difference in my body, I'm sure I'd feel great.

Those steamed buns look delicious :)

I am a businessman and you are a businesswoman, I can definitely see some kind of Japanese-English food crossover business idea going on here Sachi.

I took a look at the link you posted, http://monsieur-musipan.com/menusweets.html and although I cannot read a word of it, oooooo......wow, those things would go down well over here!

I think a lot of people in the West (with our poor diets) would pay quite a sum of money for someone with your diet expertise to personally train them, London, New York or LA being the big money areas :-D

Do you agree? (anyone reading)

And I also think jacket potato business would go down well in Japan I think.

Ami had an vaccination...not tatoo.

How strange, only a few hours ago I thought to myself.... 'what ever happened to Sachi's jacket potato business idea?' :)

So, I need to bring some jacket spuds to Japan and you bring your healthy eating ideas to England, hehehe.

I hope you realise I am always in a jolly mood when I visit your blog, and I know you wouldn't have had a real tatoo put on Ami ;)

Have a great weekend Sachifam(ily)!

A lovely Dinner at Taiko-en.

Taiko -en is a famous exclusive hotel in Osaka. People often use this hotel for wedding reception. Actually, it is 5min walk from our apartment . This place was used for the banquet when the G8 Finance Ministers Meeting was held in Osaka2008.6.13. http://www.g8summit.go.jp/eng/venue/osaka_04.html We went there for a dinner on Saturday and we had a great time. This is an appetiser . Each plates are just an art. Little plates and bowls like this comes one after the other. Kaiseki style. What is Kaiseki: kaiseki is a type of art form that balances the taste, texture, appearance, and colors of food.To this end, only fresh seasonal ingredients are used and are prepared in ways that aim to enhance their flavor. Local ingredients are often included as well. Finished dishes are carefully presented on colorful plates that are chosen to enhance both the appearance and the seasonal theme of the meal. Dishes are beautifully arranged and garnished, often with real leaves and flowers, as well as ed...

Japanese live long!?

Here is Ami(when she was little over one month old) and my grad mother. My grand mother is going to be 95!!!! in August. She is very well and surprisingly she still teaches Japanese Poem called Haiku. My grand father is 98!!!!!!!!!!! Although he in nursing home, he is very well and his mind is still sharp. Japanese average life expectancy is 79．19 years old for men and 85．99 years old for women. We held world longest average life expectancy for 22 successive years. I think Japanese food and life style is very healthy, this is why I would like to share with many people all over the world. These are the hospital meal after the labor of Ami. I had to stay in the hospital for 7day after the labor but I didn't mind at all. But don't get me wrong not all Japanese hospitals give you the great meals like this.... This hospital is private hospital and have better service, they even gave me a massage with aroma oil. My husband Iwao was born in this same hospital too 41 years ago....
