What I want to introduce about Japan

　　Hello. This time, I will introduce the unique culture of Japan. There is a restaurant where you can stand and eat. Most of the shops where you can stand and eat are soba shops, which are usually located inside the station. The reason why there are many shops in the station where you can stand and eat is to make it possible for customers who use the station to eat immediately. Basically, the soba restaurant inside the station where you can eat soba is not for the purpose of enjoying the taste, but for the purpose of eating. The purpose is also for the shop staff to eat immediately and finish eating immediately. In addition to the soba restaurant, there are other restaurants in Japan where you can eat yakiniku, curry, and sushi. If you haven't been there yet, please do.

What I want to introduce about Japan!

 Hi, I'm Nana.

Today, I want to introduce about Matcha. I have a reason why I want to introduce about it, of course, Matcha is so famous as Japanese food and drink in the world and it has long history. 

At fast, Japanese missions to Tang China has brought seed of green tea to Japan. And then, in 1191, cultivation of green tea started in Uji, Kyoto prefecture and custom of drinking Matcha has been spread in Japan by Eisai. In addition, a culture of green tea has been developed by Sennorikyu in Azuchi-Momoyama period. So finally, it has become popular in the world in 2015 by introducing Gyokuro, which is one of the Japanese green tea.   

Now, not only Japanese but also foreigners enjoy drinking and eating Matcha, especially we can enjoy them in Kyoto, Gion and Uji. Matcha sweets are the best I recommend. If someone don't like to drink green tea, you can eat ice cream and sweets. These are great smell and tasting deeply. 

On the other hands, culture of green tea is getting famous more and more for foreigners because this culture is elegant for them and some of them thought this culture is about skill and precision. 

From these things, I want to know about history of "Matcha" and you should taste it and enjoy Japanese green tea. 

Unique Japanese Facilities

 A capsule hotel is an accommodation with a bed for one person in a box-shaped room. 

In 1979, the world's first capsule hotel opened in Osaka, and it has since spread throughout Japan. It's reasonably priced and has good security. So if you want to stay in a safe place with low cost of staying, I recommend it. 

Originally, they were just simple facilities for sleeping, but now there are stylishly designed and unique capsule hotels with samurai and ninja themes. 

It depends on the hotel, but many capsule hotels provide each person with a bath towel, face towel and nightwear. Basic hygiene items such as soap and shampoo, toothbrushes, and a hair dryer are available in the common area for your comfort.

However, many of the capsule hotels don't have food. So eat out, or use convenience stores and supermarkets. In rare cases, some facilities have a restaurant.

I want international students to introduce about Japan - Kyosuke Nakamura

    Hello, My name is Kyosuke Nakamura. Yeahhhh!!!!

    I want many international students to introduce about Wadaiko. It is one of the traditional musical instruments in Japan. It looks like drum but the sound and materials is different with drum.

    Wadaiko is used when summer festivals and events are held. Wadaiko is made from hard woods. So the sound is heavier than drum and resonate with us. In addition, Wadaiko has a long history as a traditional musical instrument.

    When I was in elementary school, I have played the Wadaiko for three years. (In two pictures, Kyosuke plays the Wadaiko! He is so cool!!) While I played the Wadaiko, I increased my concentration. I think the ability to concentrate by playing it connects to my life. 

    If you'll come to Japan, please watch the play of Wadaiko! I think you will be impressed!! Thank you for reading my blog.
