New Year's Eve

New year's eve and new year's day are the most important day for Japanese people. Japanese people gather with relatives and eat traditional food. I tell you about how I spend New year's eve every year.


I, My brother, and My uncle who is my mother's younger brother go to the fish market in Omaezaki in the early morning. We buy a lot of fish such as tuna, alfonsino, scallop, salmon. My uncle has a cook's license and he is very good at cooking so, we buy a fish which is not sliced. 


My family goes to grand parents' house in the afternoon and then we cook a lot of meals such as sushi, tempura, deep-fried breaded cutlet, potato salad. We eat dinner and have a fun time. Finally, we come home and eat a special soba noodle which is called toshikosisoba in Japanese. Soba is easier to cut than other noodles, so eating soba on the day means breaking off this year's disaster.

Novel

I introduce the novel which I really like. The novel title is "Kamisama no Goyouninn". The title's meaning is the people who fulfill god's wishes. The first volume of the novel was written by Asaba Natsu in 2013 and now the novel has been published up to 10 volumes. The novel's story is that a man suddenly has to do the role because his grandfather who had done the role died and Gods chose him as a successor. A lot of Japanese gods appear in the novel. Of curse, there are as many wishes as many gods and all of those wishes are unique so, to fulfill the wishes is very hard for him. As he fulfills those wishes, the delicate heart, and thought of God would be revealed, so it is moved you. The names of gods are written by kanji. It is difficult for even Japanese people to read those names, so when you read the novel, you should have a dictionary and find out how to read. But the novel is so moving that it doesn't bother you.

Japanese Food

  There are a lot of Japanese foods. What Japanese food do you like and don't you like? Of curse, I like most Japanese food but especially, I like fried chicken called karaage in Japanese and sushi . I think most foreign people don't like natto because of its smell and I don't like natto too. How to cook karaage ? First, we cut chicken breast meat into bite-size pieces. Then, we soak those in a sauce which is made of soy sauce, sweet sake for seasoning, sugar, and minced ginger for at least 30min to overnight. Minced ginger is very important because it accentuates the flavor. Then, add potato starch powder to them. Finally, deep-fry them at about 180 degrees until their color becomes light brown. Most people don't like natto because of its smell or its texture but I'm fine with them. The best reason why I don't like it is when I eat it, my stomach becomes hurt. But I don't even know why that happens.

Today I Listened A Pod Cast of Beauty and Physical Attractiveness

        Many people are envious of bilingual people because bilingual people have the privilege of communicating with foreigners. For example, w hen you study a foreign language you struggle to speak the language but  they can speak another language with proper pronunciation. Anyway, if you are not bilingual, I recommend some points to learn a foreign language.       First, when you use a foreign language you don't have to be embarrassed making mistakes. Second, it is important to concentrate when you memorize new words. Third, you should use a foreign language with your friend many times. When you make friends, your attractiveness of personality is very important.
