Obon-de-gohan [おぼん de ごはん] -Obon connects to happiness



Today I will introduce ”Obon-de-gohan.” This restaurant serves handmade food for a balanced diet in a cafe style. The menu items are mainly vegetables, meat, and fish, and these ingredients are used in their cooking. And there are various types of rice, such as polished rice, gokoku hijiki rice, and black rice. These are healthy varieties of rice. Even the desserts are healthy. For example, other restaurant's desserts are made of flour, but this cafe uses soba flour. Regular flour calories are 368 kcal, per 100g, but soba flour calories are 359 kcal, per 100 g. So soba flour is healthier than regular flour. In this way, this cafe serves healthy food.
 
There are about 58 menu items. All of the items offer a balanced diet, such as the set meal with beef, the set meal with fish ,and the set meal with vegitables and tofu. If you order the set meal, you can choose freely a main dish and the type of rice, and you get a small bowl of miso soup. You can have as much rice and miso soup as you like. You also set a big bowl of salad, and pickles.


The salad set comes with a stone oven roll, pumpkin soup, and dressing. The dressing is original, and there are grated carrots and onions. Udon comes in a small bowl with pickles. You can order udon warm or cold.


Ochazuke comes with polished rice, soup, season small bowl, bean curd, pickles and spice. You can order as much rice and soup as you like. The menu has a drink and dessert set. Desserts include crepes, cake, parfait, and icecream.


The price of all menu items is about one thousand yen. The seven dish set is a good deal at that price.


 
I went to the Tsurumi store's Obon-de-gohan. I ordered the ochazuke (yakishake-to-ikura-no-oyakodashichazuke.) The price was 983 yen. I ate this meal for the second time. It was soup stock flavor peculiar. Generally, ochazuke is soup stock tea and hot water, but this soup stock combined kelp and chicken soup.The rice and soup stock taste is very delicious. And eat topped freely.



 I recommend putting the salmon roe, salmon, kombu, and a leaf on the rice, and pouring the soup over it. It was the most delicious!! I had one helping of rice, so I was full.
 

 
 
The cafe's atmosphere is good. When I went at dinner time, this cafe was crowded and there were mostly women in the cafe. I think they provide a healthy meal. Obon-de-gohan is a relaxing cafe, so when people finish eating, they stay too long.


Obon-de-gohan is on the sixth floor of Cial Tsurumi at the east exit of JR Tsurumi Station. Dusk is the best time for a  good view. If you go to Cial Tsurumi, you should go to Obon-de-gohan!!

Movie review The Intouchables (2012)

                   


I recently saw the most impressive movie. The movie a French film called "The Intouchables." It came out in 2011, and it was released in Japan in 2012. The genre is comedy drama. The major cast members and Phillip to Francois Cluzet, play Doris to Omar Sy, play Magari to Andrey Fleurot. Directer is Eric Trdano. This movie is based on a true story. A young black man, Doris, arrives at disabled rich man, Philllip's, house because he interview for caregiver. Since then, Doris takes care of for Phillip. At first Doris reluctantly takes care of Phillip, but gradually he becomes better at taking care of Phillip. He gives arm and foot massage, takes care of the bath, helps with movement, prepare meals and so on. And although Phillip is a disabled person, Doris thinks that healthy people shoud have contact with Phillip. Doris and Phillip are portrayed as equal. There are different ways of life, different tastes music, differense in appearnce. Doris finished takes care of Phillip after, there are good relation ship. Finally this movie is a funny and impressive story.
