Today we each had tours related to our vocations so as a Marketing Consultant at an advertising agency I had a chance to visit a radio station and a newspaper.
Touring the newspaper was really interesting. It was similar to the Press Democrat except that everything is done in one building, from writing to printing to packaging.
In the evening my host stopped by one of his restaurant locations. His father opened a deli/grocery store years ago and since then the concept has grown to include 50 locations. I love the selection and that all the food is hand-made and organic!
Then at home we had a traditional dish, Nabe, for dinner. Nabe can include many different ingredients but tonight’s seemed to be all my favorite things in one big steaming bowl.
I learned that Sumiko’s mother made the pickled plums we eat daily and Takeshi’s mother makes miso.

Hi Windy,
As usual your posts absorb my attention and give me grins! Such wonderful photos and notes. Love it. Happy travels and see you soon; can’t believe the 30 days is coming to an end. I am going to miss Japan.

Totally into the dinner. How different are the crab from our Dungeness? Our crab season opens today so there will be plenty of ingredients for your dining pleasure once home.
