Artichoke

There are still many unknown tasty foods in the world.

世界にはまだいろいろなおいしい食べ物がある。

Take this cactus for example…and I don’t think it’s peyote.

このサボテンもその一つです…が、食べてもブッ飛びません…

And one of my favorite foods! The boiled artichoke!

これです!俺の大好物の一つ!茹でARTICHOKE!(あざみ)です!!

It doesn’t look very appetizing I know, but don’t let the cactus looks fool you!

全然おいしく見えません…サボテンですね…

After boiling in salt water [...]

In N Out

Once place I wish was in Japan.. In N Out. This privately owned franchise mainly exists in the Southern California area.

ロスでは定番のバーガースポット, IN N OUT! ロスにしかないチェーン店。

Here’s the inside…but don’t eat too much or you’ll end up like everyone in here!

店内はこんな感じ…でもあまり食べるとこの人達みたいになるよ!

Since the company is super Christian, they have psalm numbers printed [...]

Gullivers Prime Rib

Everyone knows Lawry’s prime rib with the spinning salad bowl.

But for a few who are lucky enough to go to OC, there’s Gulliver’s Prime Rib.

プライムリブで有名なLAWRY’Sなら誰でも知ってると思うけどOCの人はみんなGULLIVER’Sでしょう!

Right across from John Wayne Airport, I’ve been coming here since I was a kid.

John Wayne空港の向かい側にあるこの有名レストラン…子供の頃から来てる。

The Gulliver’s cut with house salad is the only thing [...]

BBQ at home

I grew up in Corona Del Mar ,CA, a section of Newport Beach.

今日はCorona Del Marの実家でBBQです!Newport Beach市の中にある街です。

It’s obviously right near the beach and very “California”

とてもカリフォルニアっぽくていい感じです!海の真ん前なのでいつでもリゾート気分!

The weather is usually nice and it makes you want to go outside or take a drive.

この雰囲気もLAでしょう〜?

This is the street in front of my [...]

Catching up with my good (oldest!?) friends…

I recently had a chance to catch up with one of my best friends from childhood. Matt and his family, Pamela, Adrian and Quinn have been close with us forever and it was something that was long overdue.

I went to go visit them at their new house nestled in the San Bernadino mountains.

最近幼なじみと会ってきました!

MATTとその家族: [...]

My GTR

I went to go visit my old friend Eddie “The Power Doctor” Kim at Dynamic Autosports.

I can’t even begin to tell you how many memories I have with Dynamic.

Let’s just say it’s one of the oldest and original JDM tuning shops in the US.

Many magazines and manufacturers owe their success to this shop.

今回は親友のチューニングショップ DYNAMIC AUTOSPORTSにきました!

日本車JDMチューニング界では超有名〜。

大学の頃からの付き合いなので久しぶりに来れて嬉しかった。

Crab Cooker

Japan has good crab but it can be expensive…that’s why I always come to the CRAB COOKER whenever I’m in LA!

Established 58 years ago, this place is known for good seafood at a cheap price.

日本の蟹もうまいけど高い…だからロス行くときは必ずここに来てます!

CRAB COOKER.

58年前から営業してて、おいしいシーフードを安く提供するので有名。

This one is located in an old bank from the 1936.Even the fish is stored inside [...]

The Best Mexican Food!

This is one of the best Mexican food places in So Cal…Alejandros!

It used to be an Albertos but the flavor is still the same. This place is packed at night with locals, students, and drunk people.

OCで一番うまいと思うメキシカンフード!

アリハンドロスで〜す。

ローカル大学生の常識でもあり、夜はいろんな人で賑わってる。

This is my favorite! A Carne Asada Chimichanga Burrito!

It’s a deep fried burrito that’s not on [...]

The Party Pad

It’s been 2 yrs since I’ve been back…

2年ぶりに見るこの家…

Yes, this is my Irvine party pad that I left behind to move to Japan. It’s a small 3BDR house I bought in 1999.

はい、初公開です!僕のアメリカの家で〜す。日本に引っ越す為に置いていった物件。1999年に買った3ベッドルーム+2バスの一軒家。

It’s not the biggest or most expensive place in the world…

特に広くもなく、値段も高くないけど…

But as my friends will tell you, we had [...]
