This is the place where Fusanosuke writes about her love for Japanese language and anything that relates to it.
いらっしゃいませ! 日本円での買い物を 日本語でどうぞ
This is Bergen (Norway) in June 2010. A wonderful place. At the fisher market they have special locations for Japanese tourists where they can buy fish with Japanese yens and where the personnel speaks Japanese! Tons of Japanese tourists are roaming the place and the prices are all in NorKr, Eur, USD and Yen!
Pretty bento boxes are pretty. Especially neko bento. Not that I'm into making sophisticated lunches, but I still can appreciate an idea of pretty lunch box ))) The Japanese shops in Düsseldorf have definitely broarden my horizons of pretty things
弁当 --べんとう-- bento (Japanese box lunch)
Wakame ramen - a delicious noodle soup with the seeweeds. I had this portion in the ramen shop in Düsseldorf. It was really tasty, though to my dismal I did not really know how to eat it and not to make a spectacle of myself for horrid table manners. Good thing that it were a business lunch time and next to us there were Japanese salary men who dealed with the ramen with such a specatcular skills. I picked up their techniques of using spoon and chop-sticks )))).
若布(P); 和布(P); 稚海藻; 裙蔕菜 -- わかめ(P); ワカメ-- (n) (uk) wakame (species of edible brown seaweed, Undaria pinnatifida)
In Düsseldorf we had a lunch at a very lovely place. This is the banner of the little ramen-shop.
The service was very nice and I had a chance to use the words 別々で and 緒で.
From
別々でお願いします -- べつべつでおねがいします -- We’d like separate checks please.
一緒で、お願いします -- いっしょで、おねがいします -- Please, make it one check.
I like the German versions better: 別々で -- Getrennt and 一緒で -- Zusammen.
In our case it was 一緒で -- it is always nice to treat someone for a lunch )))).
