I saw on facebook where Elly’s boyfriend sent her a video. I went to check it out and loved it.
Check it out!
Thanks for the link Eric.
Last night, Mom took us out to celebrate Arisa’s birthday. We went to Umami Asian Kitchen in Chagrin Falls.
The menu says that Umami is the “fifth taste”, as in sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Umami is a Japanese word. See the wikipedia article for a description. Also see the “basic tastes” article too.
I see why they call it Asian Kitchen as it’s not really a Japanese restaurant. They take some Japanese foods and make it all their own. For example, they have an Udon Noodle dish, but it’s not what one would expect from a Japanese restaurant. It was really very good. We had Seared Red Tuna, Spicy Tuna Rolls, and Calamari. I had the halibut with sweet potatoes and ginger, Arisa had one of the specials which was scallops (hotate) on Jasmine rice. Ken had the Seared Salmon, and George had the curry chicken entree. Elly had Calamari and Assorted Sushi appetizers as her entree. Mom had crabcakes. I tried everything except the crabcakes and it all was very, very good.
Oh, and Chagrin Falls looks great at night. The whole town is decorated in Christmas Lights. If you get a chance, I’d check it out.

このあいだ、エリー、ケン、ジョージがクリーブランド日本語補修校で行われた漢字検定試験を受けた。水曜日にその結果が届きました。 なんと、３人とも合格。
This last Saturday, Arisa and I headed out to St. Ignaitus High School to attend the JACL’s 40th Japanese American Holiday Fair. I had a errand to run at Micro Center and so we were running a little bit late. We got there probably about 2PM.
By the time we got there, it was packed. I’d say close to a hundred folks or so were there. The Mame Taiko Drummers were already in action. At the entrance to what I assume is the cafeteria, there were booths with a silent auction, origami, and other things like soap sales.
It was our first “Japanese-American” event, as opposed to JANO, but I’m glad we went.
