開智国際日本語学校(Kaichi International School of Japanese)
Apr. 10, 2023
[English/Japanese] There is a standing sushi bar in front of nishi hachioji station, a two-minute walk from the school. Its name is DARIME SUSHI. DARIME is written with the kanji for “forty-five.” They say it’s a secret word that sushi chefs understand. Standing soba is well known, but a standing sushi place is unusual. I went at lunchtime, and the customers were all women. Sushi is also popular with international students. Not only do they eat it, many choose sushi restaurants as their part-time jobs. As a result, they learn fish names before any other Japanese words. You’ll be surprised to find they know more about it than their teachers!

開智国際日本語学校(Kaichi International School of Japanese)
Apr. 3, 2023
[English/Japanese] Mitsuhashi, a shop specializing in kanro natto (sweetened fermented soybeans), is a 15-minute walk from the school. Kanro natto is a Japanese sweet made by simmering beans in molasses and coating them with sugar. Mitsuhashi’s kanro natto is handcrafted with great care and has an elegant flavor. When I mention kanro natto to international students, they all react to the word “natto” and make disgusted faces. Many foreigners dislike natto, but when I explain it properly, they all say they would love to try it. Because many Southeast Asian countries have bean-based sweets, they find kanro natto intriguing. Kanro natto is not sold during midsummer, so if you’re curious, visit before summer arrives. A 15-minute walk from the school brings you to Mitsuhashi, a specialty shop for kanro natto. Kanro natto is a wagashi made by simmering beans in molasses and sprinkling them with sugar. Mitsuhashi’s kanro natto is made very carefully and has a refined taste. When I tell international students about kanro natto, they respond to the word “natto” with unhappy faces. Many foreigners dislike natto, but if I explain it properly, everyone says they’d like to try it. Since Southeast Asia offers many bean sweets, kanro natto piques their interest. Kanro natto is not sold in the peak of summer, so if you are curious, try to go before summer.

COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest PR
Mar. 30, 2023
Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, "KEN. T" here's post. The nemophila field in the sun through the trees is an impressive piece. Hibiya Park, located in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, is a Western-style park that is crowded with places of relaxation and events for business people. The park covers an area of 16.2 hectares, and you can enjoy seasonal flowers, making it a popular oasis in the center of the city. You can also enjoy cherry blossom viewing in spring. About 40 cherry trees such as Somei Yoshino and Satozakura are planted, and the collaboration between ponds of various sizes and cherry blossoms is a must-see. The best time to see them is usually late March ~ early April. In 2023, the flowers will bloom early, and the Yoshino cherry trees seem to be in full bloom now. Also, around mid-April ~ early May, nemophila is in full bloom. Nemophila, which is also popular as an Instagrammable scenery, is an annual herb that blooms refreshing purple-blue flowers. You can also enjoy its adorable appearance in Hibiya Park. The place where it is blooming is around the grove facing the second flower bed. The contrast between the nemophila laid out and the building is a view unique to Hibiya Park. On weekends, various events are held in the park. Events from now on in 2023 include the Oedo Nishikigoi Festival, the TOKYO Dajang Festival ~Myanmar New Year~, and the Paella and Tapas Festival. ◆Hibiya Park◆ 【Address】〒100-0012 1-6 Hibiya Park, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 【Access】 Get off at JR "Yurakucho" and walk about 8 minutes Get off at Kasumigaseki on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line and Chiyoda Line, Hibiya on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and Chiyoda Line, and get off at Hibiya on the Toei Subway Mita Line and exit A10 and A14 【Parking lot】None There is an underground public parking lot nearby
