SPIRIT's Diary

There is a inaniwa udon shop, named Takisawaya, nearby Tagajo Library. It's for 2 minutes from JR Tagajo Station. I went to Takisawaya, while at it returning a rental book. I ordered both Inaniwa Udon and tempuras. Both of them were chewy, and smooth going down. It's 1,500 yen. The physician in the obesity clinic said you should skip drinking alcohol, but I drunk sake in Takisawaya. It was sweet and delicious. I think, it's no loss for foreigners to go to it and eat inaniwa udon once.

From May 3rd to 5th, in Tagajo Cultural Center, there was one exhibition, "Nyatten/Meow Exhibition". I went to Nyatten with my mother on May 5th. Various goods related cats were sold. But I was the most shocked to the information that over 2000 abandoned cats are disposed with dioxide carbon gas every year, not mercy killing. In the case of Japan, the raw restriction keeping pets is loose. Ms. Sugimoto Aya, the leader of Eva( https://www.youtube.com/@Eva-bo9pd ), PIIF of protecting animals pointed out it strictly in her presentation. In Japan, many malicious animals breeding facility and pet cafes, but their punishment is loose now. Eva is activating signature campaign to make punishment stricter. But I think there are many harassments to Eva, particularly from malicious animal breeding facility dominated yakuzas directly. About myself, when I was an elementary school student, I kept two bengalese finch. But eventually, I didn't care for them little, so I made them die. S...

Walking from Nagamachi-Minami Station in Sendai Namboku Line for 20 minutes, there is one lunch buffet restaurant, named Nanaya. On Apr.29, I went to Nanaya with my father's introducing. But it was inconvenient because we have to pay with only cash.     We could eat macaroni salad, sweet potatoes, curry spaghetti and so on. Macaroni salad and curry spaghetti were exquisite with adding spice, and sweet potato was very sweet and delicious. But macaroni was a bit stiff.     And my main dish was nanban chicken (the fried chicken with vinegar and tartar sauce). The vinegar was a little sour, but biting feeling of nanban chicken was moderately soft. I enjoyed both sourness of vinegar and biting feelings of nanban chicken.     Unfortunately, this place is inaccessible because we have to walk from Nagamachi-Minami Station for about 20 minutes. Are there any bus stops nearby?

Walking from JR Sendai Station for 5 minutes, there is one artificial hot spring, named Topos. This hot spring is for only males and people with tattoo can't enter it. Yesterday, when returning from Tohoku Historical Museum, I went to Topos. The open-air bath in this place is radium hot springs. It makes our own body and recover from tiredness. Outside, moderate wind blew, and I took this bath and became relaxed. In this place, body scrubs put in the bathroom, so I don't need my own body scrub. So, it's useful. There is one sauna with 70℃. It's too hot, and I escaped from it promptly. After taking hot springs, I stayed in the lobby and watched Rakuten Eagles' game. Snacks were very delicious. There are own indoor clothes in this place. This cloth made me relaxed. I stayed for 1.5 hours. The value was reasonable 800 yens, using the discount.

Edo Tokyo Museum in Ryogoku is renovating for long time now. So, exhibits in Edo Tokyo Museum can be seen in Tohoku Historical Museum. Yesterday, I went to Tohoku Historical Museum to see it.(https://www.thm.pref.miyagi.jp/exhibition/10988/) Impression of exhibits was moderate. Inconvenient points to foreigners were, ・From JR Sendai Station, they have to go to JR Kokufu Tagajo Station about 30 minutes. ・The exhibits were almost introduced with only Japanese. ・We can't re-enter it. But I was impressed to Japanese Edo culture, such as Meireki Grand Flame, Kanjin Sumo and so on. It was said, "Kaji(Flame) and kenka(quarreling) is Edo''s banner." Actually, kenka in Edo periods was almost only bicker. It was said, that people in Edo period pointed out opposite's weak point each other very fluently in bicker. The origin of Honjo Ekoin in Ryogoku is that unrelated buddha were buried in Meireki Grand Flame, But Ekoin had become the venue of Kanjin Sumo and the grave of...

I went to ophthalmology, incidentally, I went to my favorite ramen shop, named "Ramen Billy". This ramen shop is diagonally from Don Qui Houte Sendaieki Nishiguchi Honten. I could eat it since long time. This principal point of this ramen is fatty meat of char siu. Fatty meat was very soft and like melting. Moreover, the noodle of Billy Ramen is very stiff. I could experience the impressive accent. I want this shop to make more foreigners come. Because this ramen is very delicious.

My father recommended me to introduce Zuihoden Shrine (The Grave of Date Masamune) in Sendai more than Hakkenden. I'm a bit troubled. I've thought, that Zuihoden has been already famous in the world and many foreigners have come to it. But my father said that a few foreigners was coming to Zuihoden when he visited the place nearby. When I confirmed the homepage of Zuihoden, there is English sites. But why didn't many foreigners come to it? Because we can use the bus to come it, Zuihoden is accessible. Zuihoden is decorated with gorgeous golds, but doesn't it fascinate many foreigners? Anyway, I have to also study about Zuihoden again.

When returning from the psychiatry, I went to Funaoka Castle Park again to watch the cherry blossoms. But almost petal of cherry blossoms has scattered. "Hana Ni Arashi（花に嵐）", which means "when flowers blossom, there are many storms, so flowers scatter easily." is true. Relying on my anger without clear purpose, I drunk liquor and ate potatoes. I've become angered and ate potato roughly, understand that the season will change. I failed my quota about alcohol in this day. Even if without it, the quotas about work and drinking alcohol is sometimes accomplished and not accomplished. I can accomplish the quota of studying English easily, but I can't  accomplish the quota about wasting money to drink and eat every day. It took 3 days after I decided various quotas. But I may have to re-think about my present quotas.

Yesterday was initially cloudy, but became increasingly sunny. So, as scheduled, I went to Funaoka Castle Park for cherry blossoms viewing. It's about 40 minutes from JR Sendai Station to JR Funaoka Station. In the train, many foreigners such as French was riding, but in Funaoka Castle Park, foreigners were rare. I think why foreigners don't come to Funaoka Castle Park despite beautiful cherry blossoms in that place. I walked the tough hills to Sannomaru Park of Funaoka Castle Park. But I arrived it, there were many cherry blossoms and imitation booths. Despite stopping drinking liquor, I bought Kasumi, the Japanese sake, and drunk it. I should have watched cherry blossoms carefully, and record it in this blog successfully. So I shouldn't have drunk sake. And, I bought Gyutan from an imitation booth and ate. The Feeling of biting was very crispy, and salt and pepper was good. There is a cable car to go to the top, but yesterday was out of service. I wanted to go to the top ...

In Ayashi, the west of Miyagi, there is one hot- spring venue called "Soyogi No Mori/Forest of Breeze". I went to Soyogi No Mori.     In lobby, it puts the goods of "Love Live Superstar". This tying up is very quaint, introducing "Cool Japan". Unfortunately, I didn't buy them.     There is a restaurant in Soyogi No Mori. I ate katsudon and fried gyouza in this place.     The taste of sauce of katsudon and rice mixed very well, and the fried gyouza was very crispy. I could see the view of Ayashi's town from this restaurant.     I love saunas. In Soyogi No Mori, there are two saunas. One is inside of indoors hot springs, called "Bon-Sauna". This was too hot, about 70℃, so I couldn't stay very long. The other is outside in open-air bath, called "Zen Sauna". In Zen Sauna, we can listen the relaxing music, so we can become calm down and stay longer. But this sauna is very hot too. I...

Recently, shamingly, I hadn't used Chat GPT 4. But, my work, I need the information of medications, and I want to make Japan an oriented-tourism country by using Hakkenden. So, I began to use Chat GPT 4 again.     As always, Chat GPT has various information and method to do it. It's thankful for me to get various information of disease and medication.     But, it's straying for me to do it about how I'll make Japan an oriented-tourism country by using Hakkenden. Anyhow, I don't know about the famous Youtuber and bloggers, so I can't make relationship with them. For some time, I have to promote Hakkenden by own, with using English.     At first, I have to make this blog for foreigners, before I have to make Sendai and Miyagi the oriented-tourism city, and before I have to make Japan the oriented-tourism country. For it, of course, it's important for me to use English more. And, I have to promote Hakkenshi, eight heroes of Ha...
