Hi, I'm Nao Akimoto.

HOW TO MAKE “Hand-Rolled Sushi”








Difference between “sushi” and “hand-rolled sushi”…?
Sushi is that raw fish or fillings usually are on the rice.
Or dried laver seaweed is rolled side of it. and

I will introduce about Hand-rolled sushi.
This is often eaten at home, because it is easier to make than that type of sushi. Also Japanese people hardly ever make this sushi at home!

Relationship between "Hand-rolled sushi"and "Ehomaki"

We often eat them on February 3rd, because this day is called “Setsubun” which means people throw away their evil thoughts and take the luck.

Japanese people often eat “Ehomaki” which came from (Osaka) West of Japan. If you finish eating all of it closed eyes and without speaking, you can get luck this year.

In East of Japan, people are not familiar with “Ehomaki” custom, so they eat “Hand-rolled sushi” instead, but we’ve never tried that custom using Hand-rolled sushi.
I live in East of Japan, however, I often see “Ehomaki” at many shops even convenience store.

Also Hand-rolled sushi is easier to make than Ehomaki and normal sushi, so people often eat at home.

Little children can enjoy eating through making it.

Thank you for reading and watching!

I hope you will get interest in Hand-rooled sushi.

Happy New Year 2009

HAPPY NEW YEAR ２００９！


I got lots of money!!!!
It is called "Otoshidama"

Parents, grand-parents and relatives give their child money on new years day.
I got about 90,000yen^^ I'm rich.

After new years day, in the cities there were many bargain, so I went shopping with these money, but there were so many people in the city><>

Today I went there again. I got some clothes. Today was not so crowded. I think clothes price will get down more in 1 week. I will be there someday.

Emperor's Day

Today is Japanese emperor's day.

Most Japanese can’t say emperor's name in Japan, including me. This is because that we don't call him and his relative their name.

We call him just "Emperor".

I sometimes hear his name on TV, but it was beginning in news.

We also call teacher "teacher”.

We don't call them their name.

Today, I went to Machida (in Tokyo) to hung out with my friends.

They are my university friends.

I had a part-time job until 4 p.m. after that, I went there.

We went to sweets restaurant.

We ate many cakes.

After, we went to Karaoke.

Do you know "Karaoke"?? I think you alredy know, because it is very famous.

We sing songs like a singer in Karaoki box (room).

We need to pay to use this room.

There are so many songs which are Japanese pops, animation songs, old songs and non-Japanese songs.

I often sing Japanese songs, but actually I don’t like singing><

That’s all^^ Good night.
