A winter drive around Lake Hamana followed by a home-cooked meal featuring game meat, perfect for this time of year.
On a sunny Saturday weekend, I took my beloved Maserati Quattroporte for a drive to Kanzanji Onsen in Lake Hamana, where the "Enshu no Karakaze" (a strong, dry wind of Enshu) blows fiercely! Along the shores of Lake Hamana, you'll find attractions like the Kanzanji Ropeway and the giant Ferris wheel...

"Misato Kitchen" - My favorite Western-style restaurant, located next to a quiet park in Handayama.
In the quiet residential area of Handayama in Higashi Ward, Hamamatsu City, next to Handa Park, there was a bakery called "Mawarimichi" in a detached house! The madam who had run the bakery there for about 15 years announced her retirement, and her daughter, Yoko Kanehara, and her husband...

Visit the historic Hamamatsu Goshajinja Shrine and Suwa Shrine for your first shrine visit of the year, combining it with a prayer for protection against misfortune!
As we welcome the New Year, I made my annual first shrine visit to Hamamatsu Goshajinja Suwajinja in Toshimachi, Hamamatsu! This shrine was established in 1962 when the two original shrines were merged, creating the new Goshajinja Suwajinja. The current shrine building was completed in 1982, and the deities of both shrines are enshrined within a single building...

Cooking at home! We're hosting a French chef's cooking class at our house right at the start of the new year!
Chef Nariaki Onoue of the French restaurant "Café & Restaurant Renri" had a hectic time from Christmas through the end of the year, and we are planning to have a New Year's party at my home early in the new year. At that time, I'd like to learn his specialty, "Beurre Blanc," which I've wanted to learn for a long time...

On New Year's Day night, it's "SUKIYAKI"! A taste comparison of two different brands of Kuroge Wagyu beef.
Every year, our family has made it a tradition to spend New Year's Day relaxing and taking it easy! We only prepare enough Osechi (traditional New Year's food) to eat in the morning, so for dinner we're looking forward to sukiyaki! Speaking of which, we happened to be talking about Kyu Sakamoto's famous song "Ue o Muite" (Looking Up)...

Happy New Year! First day of the year! Let's toast with sake while enjoying a celebratory meal of auspicious foods at home!
"Osechi ryori" refers to celebratory dishes eaten during the New Year! "Osechi" is an abbreviation of "osechiku," and it's a blend of dishes eaten at the beginning of the year to pray for a bountiful harvest, samurai celebratory meals, and commoner dishes to celebrate the New Year. Furthermore, during the first three days of the New Year...
