I just made a pretty good meal and had to take notes so I can make it again. I should take picture next time and I should post up my other dishes (I only make few) on this blog as well…
Ingredients

12 supermarket frozen wings
1-2 tablespoon Soy sauce
2 tablespoon Sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
a little (olive or […]

This is just too absolutely interesting… and too strange!
Are the Japanese actually Jewish? Nippon TV’s “Mino Monta’s Japanese Mystery” show had this very interesting (aside from the sensationalism) theory that the “Japan’s roots may be in the lost Israeli clan and the lost ark of the Covenant, that once held the 10 Commandments, (of […]

So, big news is that Kosuke Fukudome, a stud outfielder/slugger of Chunichi Dragons -my home town team- just filed for free agency. Losing star player is a sad news for my home town team. He has said to be hired San Diego-based Octagon Baseball as his agent and looking to come across the […]

Sushi Dinner! — Photo by Daigo.

I just came back from two week vacation from Japan. It was nice to see all my family and relatives again. We ate very well. I have documented the food I ate in a flickr album. It makes a pretty awesome slide show.

We were […]

In keeping with my JapaneseBallPlayers.com website sprit, I root for all and every Japanese athletes competing in the US. We just recently witnessed a devastating defeat… I am not talking about Ai Miyazato and Shiho Ohyama in the US Women’s Open golf, nor Ai Sugiyama’s defeat by Maria Sharapova in the third round of Wimbledon. […]

This whole Virginia Tech shooting is making me feel, how do I put it, very uneasy. I read late last night that the gunman was an Asian in a AP story (I believe), and today it was announced that he was Korean. I strongly believe that race or ethnicity of the gunman had anything to […]

It got me thinking after I had a pretty interesting conversation with my colleagues about Daisuke Matsuzaka’s nick name, Dice-K. His name, Daisuke, does sound the same as Dice-K, so pronunciation is correct, but I had a little trouble with the use of it. Example, they are using it in a sentence like “Welcome to […]

There you have it, folks. He throws gyro!
Matsuzaka talked to press at the press conference in Ft. Myers yesterday, and the last question was “do you throw gyro?” His answer: “I knew I was going to be asked that question and I thought of few way of answering… I am going to say this, ‘I’ll […]

It’s all over the news: North Korea tested nuclear wepon this Monday, and I can’t stop reading about it. The more I read, the more I get scared.
As I ‘ve writtten before, I am strongly against changing Article 9 in the Japanese constitution. I wondered if this “fear” of North Korea, (as real as it […]

May is Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month. I guess it is to mark two dates: The first Japanese immigrants arrived in the United States on May 7, 1843 and the completion of the transcontinental railroad, a hard work by Chinese workers, on May 10, 1869. Amazing to think of Japanese people coming to US in 1843, […]
