Ryokan Crushers

 

 

It is always almost 10pm for the Ryokan crushers to get together and move out.

Ryokan crushers are supposed to crush Ryokan and have a party with some leftovers from their dinner!

Cod’s sperm with Ponze! It looks gross, but it is so good!

You will miss it soon from the market another week or so.

It is a winter food in Kanazawa. Don’t miss it!

Teamwork is the key to success

We did not prepare anything special, but everybody moved spontaneously and everybody else followed it without showing any objections. That was the beautiful teamwork combination which is the key to success. We all did more than we were supposed to do. We made another small but big step progress! This is the token gratitude from our foreign guest who stayed for 4 days in Kanazawa.

My private health doctor

 

I seriously needed a good rest.

My private health doctor drove me far away from Kanazawa and suggested me to join them.

After having such a hot spring cure, we had a little wild dinner together in Kanazawa.

That’s how I recovered health now.

James Taylor – You’ve Got a Friend (Beacon Theatre 1998)

  

 

When you are down and troubled……

What do you do?

 

 

 

When your down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
I’ll come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring , summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You’ve got a freind.
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
I’ll come running to see you again.
Winter, Spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And I’ll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, ain’t it good to know that you’ve got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They’ll hurt you and desert you.
Well they’ll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don’t you let them.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I’ll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don’t you know that,
Winter Spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you’ve got to do is call.
Lord, I’ll be there, yes I will.
You’ve got a friend.
You’ve got a friend.
Ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend.
Ain’t it good to know you’ve got a friend.
You’ve got a friend.

Boiled TOFU with seaweed broth

 

I made it myself.

Not so bad, but their tofu is much much better.
