Hi, this is the website for “0yen! Japanese Lesson”. The lessons are usually done on Wednesday night and Saturday afternoon. Exact times and room numbers are shown in this web site, please check them out and come to my class. The classes are taken place in “CROSS PAL NIIGATA” in Ishizuecho, Niigata. The instructor has finished “Japanese Language Teacher Training Course (420 hours and above) and passed the “Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test” administered by the Japan Educational Exchanges and Services on October 22, 2017.

Last night I went to Haerbin Canting (hā ěr bīn cān tīng, 哈尔滨餐厅, Harupin Sancho, Halupin Sancho, Harubin Sanchou, Harbin Restaurant) for my dinner. The restaurant is located in Furumachi. Please google the following latitude and longitude.

37.924173,139.045419

It is Furumachi but one or two blocks north of the main street Masayakoji on which the buses run. This red thing welcomes you.

I ordered BBQ pork on steamed rice, 750 yen. Sake was “Kikusui” ichi-go (means 180ml), 320 yen. In total, my dinner was just 1,070 yen. Don’t you think it’s reasonable? Steamed rice is hidden under the BBQed pork. Actually the pork was a little salty, which may not be good for your health but good for “an accompaniment” of Sake. I liked these “a lot of Onion”. Zaasai on the left is also a little salty, I prefer less salty side dishes. But anyway, I should not say any complaint because they are working hard all the night.

When I paid and left, I asked the lady of the restaurant whether or not Harbin is the city that holds the ice festival in this time around. She said yes. I have never been to Harbin, let alone the ice festival. But I just thought I would like to visit and look at the objet d’art made of ice in Harbin someday. And I thought she should be missing her hometown.

昨晩行った、食べ歩き３軒目は中華料理の「ハルピン餐庁古町店 」でした。夜９時頃行ったのですが、他のお客さんはいませんでした。お肉が食べたかったので、焼肉飯￥７５０にしてみました。タマネギたっぷりは悪くないです。お酒は毎回紹興酒だとコストがかかりますので、今回は菊水にしました。一合￥３２０は安いと思います。合計１０７０円。韓国料理より安いのは、確かです。お店の人に、氷祭りがあるのはハルピンですか？と聞いたら、そうだと言いました。きっと、故郷が懐かしいでしょうね。

Anyway, last night I went to Sumire (すみれ) which is a Korean restaurant in Furumachi.  The lady who runs Sumire had worked in “Matsuya” for 15 years. She said now she has got used to her new restaurant, Sumire. Sumire is a Japanese word that means “lily”. The sign board in front of the restaurant says “Old Matsuya” with the new name “Sumire”. The restaurant is located on the following latitude and longitude. Google them! and go eat her Korean food!

This is the second time for me to come to Sumire. Last time I ate Sundup Chige. This time I ate Chidimi with beer. She gave me salty sea weed with sesame oil which you can see upper right in the photo. This restaurant is clean and has nice atmosphere. And you can enjoy talking to her. Recommended.

新年明けまして2回目の食べ歩きは、韓国家庭料理「すみれ」、旧松屋さんにお邪魔しました。特注？で１人前のチヂミを作っていただきました。手間は普通サイズと変わらないでしょうに、ディスカウントしていただき、本当にありがとうございます。韓国海苔はサービスでした。これでは客単価が小さすぎて申し訳ないから、冷麺（ネンミョン？）でも追加で頼もうかとしばらく悩みましたが、いかんせん、胃袋のサイズは１人分で、食べ過ぎはできません。また行きますよ～。

But learning in my class brings you warmth and comfortable experiences of Japanese language learning. The instructor has finished 420 hours Japanese teaching training course and has got a certification of Japanese teaching.

Anyway, tonight I went to Toushouhanten (腾翔饭店) for dinner. Black vinegar pork course was 780yen, and 180mm Sake was 520 yen. In total, it was just 1300 yen. The good news is that you don’t need to pay tip in Japan. This makes my life easier. The restaurant is located on the following latitude and longitude. Google them! and go eat their Chinese food!

明けましておめでとうございます。2019年最初の食べ歩きは、本町商店街の南側の出口にある中華料理の「騰翔飯店（とうしょうはんてん）」でした。前回の酢豚よりちょっと見た目黒い、黒酢豚定食を食べました。やはりスマホではきれいな写真が撮れないです。騰翔飯店さんには今年もお世話になります。どうぞよろしく。
