I went to an Izakaya with the guests the other night to show them what an Izakaya was like!
The drunkards showed no sign of going back and went to a Karaoke!!
We drunk a lot, talked a lot, laughed a lot and sang a lot!!
So... the following day, I mean yesterday, all the members of the Karaoke team slept and slept and slept... woke up for dinner and went back to sleep right away.
Guess what!! It was this morning that I saw them in their right senses!! Wow!!
Please join us!!

Now the oyster is in season in Hiroshima. Oysters in winter particularly taste good!!
It should be especially the best way to have oysters that we have them grilled with shells on a stove!!
We don't need soy sauce or lemon. Just to have oysters themselves are awesome!!
Lots of oyster festivals are held everywhere in Hiroshima, but the Miyajima Oyster Festival is going to be held on the 11th and the 12th of February in 2012. Why don't you come over here to eat tasty oysters till you can't move!?
I am also going to the festival on the 11th to have oysters till my stomach explodes..... of course, with a can of beer in one hand!! :) Join me!!

The cold day continues.
So take care about condition management.
Be sure do not too much drink!
However if you have a hangover, have a Miso-soup.
It is a best and better than coke!
Of course Miso-soup is also good for a cold day.
Because it warms the body!!
