Chirashi Sushi at Niji Restaurant

Do you eat raw fish? From the time I was hired in Sanyo, a Japanese company based in the Philippines, I have tried eating raw fish, sushi and sashimi. But honestly speaking, i am not happy eating them haha. But I do eat a little, just try to taste them.

If you're looking for a nice place to eat fresh, delicious and reasonable fish, this is it- at Niji restaurant in Angeles Pampanga. They always serve you with nice dishes of the season. Do you know that the chef's recommendation is assorted sashimi plate? Well, it's up to you what to order. They got many selections.

The last time we visited Niji restaurant, we tried CHIRASHI SUSHI, covering the rice with slices of various raw fishes. Our Department's general manager ordered some Odon, okonomiyaki, kimchi, and others.

Fortune Teller in Japan

Do you believe in fortune teller? Have you tried checking out what could be your future, in your career, love life, health, family.

When I went to Mount Akagi in Japan, we went to the shrine and there was a small box there where you could read your future. All you have to do is to drop 100 yen in the slit of the box and pick a paper where your future is written on it.

And so I tried. It tells me to have a good future. I will have a harmonious relationship with my family and my career will be good as long as I will work hard. Since I have a good fortune, I kept the paper with me.

A Japanese friend told me to hang the paper if it says bad fortune. You have to leave the paper to let the Divine responsible for reshaping your fortune or not to let bad things happen.

First Time in Bacolod Chicken Inasal

Chicken inasal is not my favorite. But I am just so curious why there's a lot of people eating in Bacolod Chicken Inasal. Because of curiosity, I tried and tasted their inasal recipe.

Bacolod chicken inasal is a food chain in the Philippines best known for its inasal. Inasal is a roast chicken which is served on skewers.

Not only chicken inasal, they've got different of Filipino viands too. They also serve different desserts and merienda. The whole family will surely love it, I guess.

What I like in this restaurant is their plate covered with banana leaves, like living in the past.

At MOS Burger, Japan

MOS Burger is a fast food restaurant chain in Japan, which is known for its standard hamburger. Actually this hamburger was their first product when the company was founded.

Two nights before going back to Philippines, we had the chance to go to MOS Burger. Thanks to Kashiwase-san of Sanyo Gunma Design Center. He recommended the mixed berries (like yogurt). We had our dessert here after we dine in Yoshinoya.

Exploring Mt. Haruna

We climbed Mount Haruna by car last July 28, 2012 together with GDC Layout designers. Mount Haruna is located in Gunma prefecture. I think the crater lake-Lake Haruna-and the central volcanic cone Haruna Fuji at an altitude of 1,390 meters is what makes Mt. Haruna a great tourist spot. Lake Haruna is very good for recreational boating and the trails that is maintained in the surrounding area makes visitors to enjoy hiking and biking while viewing seasonal flowers.

Hachiouji Nouen in Gunma Japan

My former boss in PDC Development Department has invited us for lunch. He recommends having a yakiniku in Hachiouji Nouen, located in Gunma Japan.

Yakiniku is a japanese term for grilled dishes or we can simply say Japanese barbeque. I like yakiniku much because beef are so yummy and so with those vegies. I can't help but adore every bite of our yakiniku.

This is a great place to take your friends and family. Because of its tasty yakiniku, this famous farm is always crowded. The meat is always extremely fresh and you'll be overwhelmed. In Hachiouji Nouen, expect the best of the best. You can compare no where of its quality and quantity and the good atmosphere. It's absolutely the best!

Beisia Shopping Center in Japan

I love visiting Beisia everytime I go to Japan. The reason why I want to always check the store out is that they've got good selections of clothes and shoes, aside from having groceries at the same time.

Beisia is a shopping chain store with many stores in Japan.It's a one stop shop! In today's visit, I bought a short pant and have some groceries too.

Kojima Electronic Store

One of my favorite hangout when I'm in Gunma Design Center is Kojima located near Sanyo Denki plant (now Panasonic). Kojima is a mass merchandiser of home electronic appliances. They've got good selections of digital camera, video camcorder, printers, digital frame, sound system too! I also like trying their massage chair. I felt so relaxed and rejuvenated afterwards.

Tsutaya DVD Rental Near Panasonic in Gunma Japan

Have you ever tried renting DVD's when you visit Japan? I've tried once, I think, but not this time!

In Japan, Tsutaya is the largest DVD and CD rental, game and book store in Japan. They've got many stores around the country.

There's a Tsutaya store near our company. And during the weekend, I go there for a look but I never rented any DVDs. Instead, I just take some photos!
