Omochi: Japanese rice cake

Hi, it is NISHIO Hirokazu. I felt our previous entry(deleted) by takano32 is too much clowning around. The photo is not an Omochi but one of sexual toy for men. So I'm writing revised version.

Omochi (or Mochi) is a traditional Japanese food made of rice. To make Omochi (said Mochi-Tsuki) was a popular event of new year season. However it is not easy to make Omochi in your kitchen, nowadays, we usually buy them from shop.



I bought it for about 500 yen. 15 pieces of Omochi in it.



This is a piece of Omochi. Unfortunately I don't have enough cooking tools, today I'll introduce one simple way to eat Omochi.



This is a freeze-dried soupbase for Ocha-Duke. Ocha-Duke is very popular Japanese snack. It is boiled rice poured soup on it. The soup is made of Japanese green tea and the soupbase.



Now baking an Omochi in an oven. Can you see it is inflating?



STICKY!!!




Add soupbase and boiled carrot(it is an option. I had them by chance), and pour tea on it.

It is delicious. There are a lot of way to eat delicious Omochi. But be careful. It is deadly sticky. In January 1996, 208 people were dead by choking with Omochi. Main victims are elderly; 70's(28.8%) and 80's(25.4%).

Crepe is fast food most popular with young people in Harajuku, Tokyo.

Crepe is a kind of a pancake. The origin of crepe is the Brittany district in northwestern France. Crepe is rolled or folded, and various foods are wrapped in and eaten in many cases. The crape that rolls only butter and sugar is the simplest.

There are crepe which wraps in whipped cream, fruit and jam, chocolate sauce, ice cream, etc., and is eaten as confectionery, and crepe which wraps in a ham, chicken, a cheese, vegetables, etc. and is eaten as a light meal.

The Harajuku Takeshita street in Shibuya, Tokyo is famous because there are a lot of crape shops. A lot of young people buy the crape, eat in front of the shop or eat and walk. Crepe is also a fast food.

Pattern in the availability of SHINKANSEN(highspeed express in Japan)

Hi, I'm NISHIO Hirokazu. I'm now in my hometown Osaka and I must go to my workplace Tokyo before the holiday's end. I checked the availability of the SHINKANSEN and found an interesting pattern. A cross means 'not available', a circle means 'available' and a star means 'no smoking seats'. Green four-leaves icon means first-class seats. Guess why it is available in the third train and not in fourth.



I guess it comes from the arrival time. Typical Japanese company starts at 9:00. The third one arrives at 9:10. It is available. Trains arrives before 9:00 is not available. Those what arrives before 9:09 is available only in first-class seats.
