Good Luck Longevity Noodle

Aji no Mingei (味の民芸) is well known as a handmade udon restaurant. My darling and I go there once in a while because all their menus are big, inexpensive, and delicious!

Last year, I had a "Good Luck Shrimp Tempura Udon" and was pretty good, so I was going to have the same one again, but this year, I found a new menu called "Good Luck Longevity Noodle (｢開運｣長寿麺)". As you can see in the pic, noodles are in attractive green (made of spinach). The soup is light and it has a lot of stir-fried vegetables on top! It tastes like a non-fatty ramen :)



I read on the menu that it is a festive food eaten in China. Is that true?! Anyway, a lot of vegetables made me happy :)

Last year, we played garapon drawing. This year, they again gave us tickets for New Year's drawing. I remember the prizes were not that attractive, but we gonna go there again because we wouldn't go there after the removal.

Changing my story, there was a hula class on Monday (holiday) morning. I always think I have slow reflexes... because I make a lot of mistakes while others don't... Well, I hope I can improve that someday.

Anyways, I cut my hair too short... which I regret recently X(

Bye for now!

Dry Eyes

Do you have good vision?

Yes, I do! But somehow, my vision started to get blurry recently... In addition, I couldn't keep my eyes open, so I thought I've got an eye strain. However, it again happened while working! This time was severe that I thought of going home. Before I leave early, I searched the Net for my last hope. Then I found out that it was because my eyes were DRY!

Dry eyes are one of the most common modern diseases. Not only for people who wear contacts, but for people who work at the office with AC and surrounded by IT devices!!! If you have bleary eyes, you might have dry eyes!

After I found out the fact, I ran to the drug store and got Rohto Dryaid EX (eye drops for dry eyes)! It's a super high viscosity eye drops that contain sesame oil and hyaluronic acid that keep your corneas of the eyes moist and avoid them from drying out! It was a pricey product but now my eyes are better! Yay!!!



Today is the coldest day so far this winter in Tokyo. Brrr... Anyway, we have three-day weekends since Monday is the holiday (Coming-of-Age Day).



Have a good weekend!!!

Update on our New Home!

I haven't been writing about our new home for a long while, but it is going fine. We signed the mortgage settlement in the end of the year and going to receive the ownership next week. Then on 1/17, our renovation starts!

Our floor plan is now fixed. We will remove the Japanese room (the room with tatami) and expand the living room and the bathroom. It took us about half a year to decide on this since we didn't want to make it complicated but easy place to be.

As I wrote before, my kitchen is going to have a storage for home electric appliances.



Of course we decided on all the floor materials and the fittings to be used. But one thing I haven't decided yet is whether or not to have an accent wall. It is to use color or texture to treat one wall differently from the others in a room to spice up the mood. It's a popular style nowadays applied to living rooms and bedrooms. I can decide on this at the very end, so will see...



Till next time ;)
