Kichinto

Hello! As I planned, my boyfriend and I cleaned up our rooms! First, I thought I won't be able to organize things, but suddenly I felt uplifted and cleaned up six hours straight! Whew... We couldn't finish all rooms yet but I think we can organize little by little.

To tell the truth, I thought we need a larger house, but before moving, I felt we should throw away unnecessary things to make space! Yesterday, I tried to throw away things that I haven't used for 3 years... It took time to make judgments, though...

How do you clean up your rooms?
Can you easily throw away things???

For dinner, we went to an Izakaya called "Kichinto" nearby. Kichinto means "neatly"! Perfect for us on this day ;) Foods and drinks were great after working hard. Natto, yam, and fish mixture, you wrap and eat with nori (dried laver seaweed) was super delicious (right middle image)! Their okonomiyaki was big enough for us (right bottom image)! Mmm! Satisfying night!

I have a lot more to write.
Hope I can catch up!

It's getting cold day by day. Stay warm!!!

Creamy Oyster Spaghetti @ Mia Angela

Hi there! It is raining here today and suddenly getting cold. The high today is 60F (15C), so I brought my overcoat with me.

On Saturday, my boyfriend and I had a dinner at a neighborhood Italian restaurant called "Mia Angela". The restaurant uses farm fresh ingredients from Hokkaido and cook them in the Italian way, which is cool! Actually, it was our third time to go there but we enjoyed their food more than before after seeing the restaurant featured on TV ;)

We ordered some dishes from today's special: yacon and sausage slices, spinach and smoked salmon salad with grapefruit, oyster spaghetti, and deer steak with inka no mezame (potato).

To tell the truth, I hate oyster but I tried the spaghetti since it was recommended! Oh my god, the oyster was creamy and meltingly delicious! There wasn't any fishy smell at all! I once heard that the good oyster melts in your mouth, and was true!!!

You can also enjoy wines at a reasonable price. Barco Reale di Carmignano was recommended for gibier, so it went great with the deer steak!

We had a romantic Halloween dinner. I wish I could go there again.

I have a lot more to write, including my accomplishments last month! Will continue on the next posts ;)

Tonight, my boyfriend and I are going to try a dinner at a Hawaiian restaurant where you can hold a wedding party. We are planning to see many restaurants from this month to find a place we like. Hope we don't fight!!! My boyfriend always tells me that he loves me. He always makes me happy taking me to nice places. I just don't know why I think in that way and feel sad... I need to be happy!!!

Tomorrow is a holiday (Culture Day). My plan is to clean up our rooms! Have a good day and see you on Wednesday :D

Marron Glace Flavored Chocolate

Today, the weather is super nice. The high is 75F (24C)! It should be a nice day to take a walk at night.

Anyway, following rum cake flavored chocolate, I tried another newly-released LOTTE's Specialite: marron glace flavored chocolate. It was rummy and delicious, too!!! Damn! I can't stop eating... Bad for my acne X(

Anyway, I have an appointment for a flu shot this afternoon!

Then tonight, I'm going to see my friend from NY! Her boyfriend (Ted) is coming, too! They are going to see her parents for marital stuff!

Oops. I spent too much time browsing twitter "lists" stuff... I need to go back to work!!!

Happy Friday :D
