These rice baby grow up and become delicious shining white rice!

Niigata bland rice is the best in Japan.

this week's stages

I was in Niigata prefecture this week.

Our orchestra played in gymnasiums of elementary schools for educational concerts.

We had 3 concerts a day~~!!!!

1st stage 9:00am~ 2nd stage 11:20am~ 3rd stage 2:00pm~

I became healthy because I woke up at 6:00~6:30 every morning. hahaha...

Gran Torino

It was a beautiful movie.

GREEN TEA

My grand mother sent me the first tea of the season.

The tea leaves are softer, and the tea tastes fresh and the smells good.

You can enjoy it only this time of year.

Fukushima

We had the last concert for TKWO's northeastern tour today in Fukushima prefecture.

I drove to Fukushima last night. 

After the concert, I stopped at the Nasu highlands rest area on the highway.

There are farms near there, so you can buy milk, cheese, bacon, beef croquette, etc...

And I saw beautiful sunset!

Onsen!! (Hot Spring)

Dai Onsen in Hanamaki Iwate. I went there with my coworkers after a concert.

I like a rural hot spring resort like this.

The onsen was great!!

TKWO concert tour

I've returned from a concert tour of northeastern area last night.

We played in Hachinohe Aomori, Hanamaki Iwate, Kurihara Miyagi, Sendai Miyagi.

I thought it was colder than Tokyo, but it was hot there!

This is a road in Sendai. The main roads in Sendai are wide and there are a lot of zelkova trees on the both side of the roads. Those fresh green leaves were so beautiful.
