Kazu's Food Blog

Recently, a Ramen restaurant has opened near my apartment. I was eager to try it out, so I took the opportunity by doing a first-time restaurant review on this blog. The restaurant is called Men-ya Nishi Muku Samurai ( 麺屋ニシムクサムライ ), and it is located near Hatagaya station (Keio New Line). For those who are interested in visiting this restaurant, here is the exact address: 2 Chome-56-1 Hatagaya, Shibuya City, Tokyo 151-0072 I ordered a white chicken broth Ramen with additional sliced pork (Char-Siu Tori Paitan Ramen, チャーシュー鶏白湯ラーメン ) and a sliced pork bowl (Char-Siu don, チャーシュー丼 ). The price was 1600 yen in total.   First, I had a sip for the Ramen broth, and as I was expecting the broth was somewhat creamy . Like a Tonkotsu broth (pork-bone broth) but not as strong flavor as Tonkotsu broth is. Then I tried the noodles. Not too thick, relatively soft noodles they were but nothing was very special. Now it was the time to give it a little kick with the other ingredients. ...

On the 2nd week of the English course in my university, we had a nice picnic day during the class but I forgot to mention it in this blog, so here we go. For someone who has visited this blog by surfing internet (if there is any), the man in full-black outfit on the picture above is me .  Each of us brought at least 1 food, some bought and others cooked themselves. Since our professor is vegan, I cooked a vegan chili con carne for the picnic. It turned out to be a great combination with the tortilla chips that one of my classmates brought. All of the other foods were very tasty too. After a nice meal session, we had an activity session . The professor brought juggling equipments with him, and many of us gave it a try. I tried it too, but it was way harder than it looked and I was only able to manage 2 jugglers by the end of the class. I'd love to try it again if there's an opportunity. The picnic was very fun, and I wish we could have another session of those, maybe outsi...

On the 5th week of my English course at Aoyama Gakuin University, each of our classmates did an analysis on the assigned award-winning food blogs, and I'd like to share the outcome of my own. The food blog I analyzed is called pinchofyum . If you're interested in visiting this award-winning food blog, here is the link . Purpose Pinchofyum originally started in 2010 as a casual hobby of the creator, and it has now grown into a full-blown business . Which means, the purpose of this blog is primarily for making money , although she may be still running it for the sake of self-satisfaction since the creator is also sharing bits and pieces of her life on the blog.

For the World Food Day assignment, I searched about Russia's activity on the internet. Unfortunately, I could not find much about Russia's activity itself due to the flooding information of Russia-Ukrain war related articles, but that is also a strongly relevant topic when it comes to world hunger. Thus, I am going to introduce you all what I found during my research. Is Russia helping world hunger? As of 2023, the answer was no as far as I researched. Russia's Ukraine invasion has largely disrupeted world's trading , along with the reduction of agricultural production in Ukraine. This could have or maybe even did damage the economy and food distribution in vulnerable countries related to this trading. At the United Nation's Security Council, Russia was pressured to revive Ukrainian grain shipments and avert the global food crisis by developing countries, western nations and even its ally China. However, Russia didn't give any effort to make things better . I...
