Tuesday, June 02, 2015. I know what it is, but what's it called? This is a meteorological data collection station, and you may have come across a few in your day in Japan. Rendered in English, it's the "100 Leaf Box", or 百葉箱 (hyakuyoubako) in Japanese. Lyrical name for a box containing remote weather monitoring apparatus. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tuesday, March 03, 2015. A stall at a recent food festival in Niigata featured authentic Yamagata いも煮 (imo-ni, or boiled potato stew) and すじ肉煮込み (suji-niku nikomi, or stew with meat and vegetables).

http://japanglimpsed.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-not-to-handle-nuclear-crisis.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. The world's costliest (in economic terms) natural disaster and second worst nuclear accident are nearly three weeks old. What have we learned from Tokyo Electric's handling of the latter? Well, if you were an executive search consultancy with the odd task of assembling a team of the most incompetent corporate managers on the planet, you couldn't do better (or worse) than recruit the guys at Tokyo Electric Power Co. All of them. Do you mind if Ι quote a couple of yоur ρosts as.

Glimpses of Japan: Ippudo: Authentic Hakata Ramen in Niigata
http://japanglimpsed.blogspot.com/2014/11/ippudo-authentic-hakata-ramen-in-niigata.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2014. Ippudo: Authentic Hakata Ramen in Niigata. I have it on the authority of a Kyushu native that the only authentic Hakata-style ramen in Niigata is to be found at Ippudo (一風堂). It certainly was tasty. Hakata ramen originated in Fukuoka City in either 1941 or '42 at the open-air stall 三馬路 (Mimaji? Operated by one Morii Kentaro. The ramen is characterised by a pork-based soup and thin, straight noodles. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Grateful Wolf: A Japanese Folktale.
