I recently had the chance to catch up with Robby!

You may remember him as one of the creative directors of JDM INSIDER!

Since then, he’s advanced quite a bit and it was great to hang out with him in Tokyo.

Onions and Parsley

This is my parsley plant. He is my food. He lives to provide me sustenance.

僕のパセリちゃんです。僕に栄養を与えてくれます。僕のために生きてます。

That’s why I made this grilled white asparagus appetizer…just so I could sprinkle some parsley on top…

そのパセリが無駄にならないようにわざわざこの白いアスパラの一品を作りました…

But wait,…I grow green onions too!

You just cut the very bottom off and replant everytime. In a few weeks [...]

My Favorite Ramen

One of my favorite things to do on the weekends is Ramen time.

Nothing beats a lunchtime beer with C☆ and some dope Kyushu ramen!

最近は昼間のビールが僕の一つのweekend楽しみになってるんだ。

九州ラーメンとビール…オヤジ達が昼から飲み始める気持ちが少し分かる(笑)

This ramen shop right near my house is the bomb! Check out these gyoza dumplings!

They pack an explosion of flavor!

うちの家の近くにあるラーメン屋。たまたま入った店なんだけど、マジで俺好み。

餃子の味は最高!うめ〜〜〜〜!!

Ahhh, and C☆‘s favorite Negi (onion) ramen.

Beer, Dog, and Park

Sundays are now a special day to relax, recharge and to exercise.

Tintin and C☆ are my partners in crime!

最近日曜日は体と心のリセットする日になってます。

いろいろな意味で充電し、健康のために運動もしてます。

そして一番の仲間はティンティンとC☆です!

Tintin doesn’t care about our agenda at all. He’s just happy cruising around the city.

でもティンティンはうちのプランにはまったく興味ありません…

It’s been featured on TV [...]

My Bday Party

As Golden February moved on, it was time for my Bday party at Medusa in Ebisu.

Golden Februaryも順調に続き、恵比寿のMEDUSAで僕の誕生会が行われました。

I was so happy that everyone could make it out. Usually they are super busy people so it was really heartwarming.

みんな忙しいスケジュールなのにわざわざ出てきてくれました!

The place had multiple aquariums filled with tropical fish, jellyfish and more…

店の中はこんな感じでした〜
