I love to eat them as hiyayakko (chilled tofu and toppings) which is used the freshness of the ingredients.
男前豆腐店 (Otokomae Tofu)
A Kyoto-based tofu maker(a brand of tofu named Otokomae which means Handsome Guy) created many kinds of great tofu.
One of their products is tofu that boasts a big kanji character for 「男」”OTOKO”(male) on the package. It’s much richer with a stronger soybean flavor than refular tofu.

I introduce Japanese girls favorite manga. They are not only NANA and NARUTO. The Manga i like best is Honey & Clover. The author Chica Umino was ex-Sanrio designer. (Sanrio is known as Hello-kitty’s company)
Honey & Clover’s story is art college student’s life story. Boys and girls’ love and growing process are described.
This story is very interesting. Besides, every characters are so much “kawaii”. I like them all.

2008 Sumida River fireworks event was held near Sumida River flowing through the downtown area in Tokyo.
I went to the neighborhood of launching level. Fireworks were seen in over the buildings.
Usually it is a business area, but on that day it was full in a crowd to look the fireworks. Many Japanese loves a fireworks event.
Terrible big sounds, and the sky flares up. I was slightly fierce. I have never seen such a scene !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
