My favorite Mentaiko.

Do you know "Mentaiko"?


I love putting some Mentaiko on freshly steamed rice and eating them together.

I like best Mentaiko shop is "Fukuya":ふくや in Nakasu Hakata Fukuoka city Fukuoka prefecture Japan.

Costoco SUSHI, tuna only packed.

The Costco fish counter deal SUSHI in their warehouse. I visited Costco Wholesale New town Chiba Japan.

My Evaluation:

My Impressions:
Sushi-Neta, fish thick cutting filett are good fresh, tasty and no smell fishy, and more fillet has not been frozen.
This "Maguro Sushi" is ate easily for kids and womens prefer not have.

   1,580Yen (including TAX)

It's neither good nor bad.

Buckwheat noodle with deep fried chicken :A stand-up eating soba noodle shop

This stand-up eating soba noodle shop location is the JR Abiko station yard.

The shop name is "Yayoiken":弥生軒 that has a item "kara-age soba":唐揚げそば:Buckwheat noodle with deep fried chicken.


It's deep fried chicken put on soba, but soba noodle is not tasty.
This station is located near Narita station using Nalita line for Abiko, if you have a chance.

Built a new bike.

A bike was given to me by acquaintance that the bike was built around twenty five yeas ago.
This bike was built parts overview.
  + Frame : Tange champion
  +Deraler : Campagnolo nuovo record
  +Clank set : Shimano
  +Wheels F/R : Tubular tire wheels
  +Breaks F/R : Shimano

I feel, this bike ex-owner would have used to touring.
I consider, the bike restructure using for my daily workout in my town.
So, I combine that bike and other bike parts.

I change and replace below parts.
   + Remain of the original.
      --> Frame.
      --> Clank set.
      --> Break.
   + Tires and wheels change to clincher from tubular.
      --> Aluminum clincher wheels.(other bike's)
      --> Tires are Continental's ultra sport yellow.(New)
   + Rear sprocket change to single from multi.
      --> Single sprocket.(Other bike's)
   + Nuvo record groupset replace.
      --> Shimano chain tensioner ALFINE CT-S500.(New)
      --> Using chain tensioner is to be able to change front sprockets.
   + Put on, bike bell and light.

      --> These parts was bought 100Yen shop by me.(New)

Replaced Campagnolo groupset is in safekeeping for my future bike.

Uokou(魚耕), fish shop Sushi

The Uokou:魚耕 deal in SUSHI that is the fish shop in Funabasi Chiba Japan.
This shop locate "Shapo" shopping mall of JR Funabashi station.



My Evaluation:
☆☆☆－－


Impressions:
Sushi-Neta, fish filett are good fresh and tasty.
I bought "Nigiri":「にぎり」, but I didn't buy more one upper grade combo that was sold out!
   "Nigiri"  1,389YEN
This shop combo include 20 pieces. Will you full?

The shop open for 21:00, but sushi sold out around 19:30.
I visit the shop about 19:15. The shop hardly has SUSHI stocks, but other items remain sale ex. Sashimi, Saku, hole fish and Himono.
So I bought last minute just before sold out the sush, and they give me deal.
   "Osusume Nigiri"  1,388YEN  ---> 1000YEN(Including TAX!)

Descent point:
The combo was limited Sushi-Neta  various.

The credit card is not usable in the convenience store of the JR Station.

JR(Japan Railways) stations yard are located convenience store "NewDays", but those store is not able to using credit card.
Anyway, you can use convenience store in downtown If you want to use credit cards.

I don't really like use real money in convenience store, because my purse becomes tight by many coins.

Have a good trip in Japan!
