Unagi is the Japanese word for freshwater eels. Unagi are a common ingredient in Japanese cooking. Unagi is served as part of unajyu(or unadon). a dish with sliced eel served on a bed of rice.
Unagi is rich in protein, calcium, vitamin A and E, and it’s said to give people stamina. The traditional accompaniment to unajyu(or unadon) is a small bowl of kimosui, eel liver soup.(!!)
A camisole dress and a French sleeve dress selling in MUJI are the underwear which is most suitable for summer.

Do you know Yu Darvish ? He is no.1 pitcher in japanaese professional baseball. The popularity of Japanese girl is no.1,too.
I went to the stadium to watch his playing. His style is good, and he is handsome, besides. But unfortunately he married with the actress last year.
Probably he will participate in the baseball game of the Beijing Olympics as a Japanese representative. Watch on TV by all means.

I’m a big fan of Isetatsu.
A lot of wonderful hand printed “very Edo taste” Japanese papers with colored figures (chiyogami) are in the tiny shop. these are of course expensive…
and the shop makes cute and useful goods from chiyogami designs.
I recommend handkerchiefs and postcards(^_-)* these are not so high prices & we can use these everyday!
I can’t stop myself when I found the latest one!!
