Thai restaurant, sieving Vietnamese coffee and banana cake. Inokashira park in Tokyo. Oasis in the disgusting state of emergency.

Okinawa steak. 300g 2000yen. Reasonable. Soft and yummy. But quality of rice, salad and soup is not so good, people say. For me, acceptable. Only one branch in Tokyo. Long lines in most of the time. For Japanese, the notion of steak was expensive. 5000yen at least. I wonder if the popularity of Okinawa steak will last.

Tokyo has been in the state of emergency for suppressing the coronavirus spread, where all restaurants and bars have to close by 8 pm, which is really strict for them. Many restaurants in Ginza had already got bankrupt. For survival, remaining bars and “izakaya” have to rely on lunch service. These lunch cuisines are of one of wine bars in Ginza.

The number of patients in my dental clinic near Tokyo station has been 80 percent of that before corvid 19, which means we are still in a dark tunnel where we can not see an exit. The vaccination has just started for medical staff. My turn will come soon.

God bless Tokyo and the world!

Watching the same show, but from a different seat which means “from different angles “ gives me quite different impression from each other. Every time, I found new things which I couldn’t realize before. I respect Takarazuka actresses’ efforts, dedication, passion in this coronavirus’ harsh situation. Controlling breathing after speedy harsh dance performance and perspiration after the show, showing smiles, look very touching, which has been attracting many people.

Takarazuka Revue, Snow Troupe, starring Futo Nozomi and Maya Kiho. I was moved to see their passion of getting over challenging circumstances by the coronavirus, where all audiences are checked body temperature at entrance, wearing masks, no talking. No orchestra, vacancies of the first front guest seats to take distance from performers, restricted number of performers, closed all restaurants in the theater.

Souvenirs from my patients from foreign countries. Top(a foreign exchange college student from Myanmar), center left (a researcher of biology in Tokyo university from Bolivia), center right (a researcher of economics from Mexico), bottom left (a tourist from Cuba), bottom right (a tourist from Sri Lanka). Of course, all were presented before Covid-19. Thanks them all.

“Omurice” and “pilaf” are commonly used in English?

Having lunch before theatergoing.

Missing dental hands on seminars caused by coronavirus. When can I learn more? Zoom lectures are boring.

How to use scalpels in a surgery, how to bend a wire for orthodontic treatments etc can be learned from practice using jaw models and pig jaws. Using my own hands, training my hands eye coordination is must before applying new skills for my patients. Knowledge is not enough. Having no chances of techniques in dentistry is stressful.

Osaka, a business hotel on Yodobashi camera building, next to Osaka station.

Good reading and relaxing space in the lobby.

HIIT(high intensive interval training) by burpee, only 4 minutes excercise, is making me fit.

HIIT(aka Tabata training) consists of 20 seconds workout(burpee in my case) , 10 seconds rest, 8 repetitions, just 4 minutes in total.

Before knowing the training, I swam 1500m, 5 times a week. It took 27 minutes. I think HIIT is better than long distance swim to keep me fit.

My heart rate after HIIT was 148/min on this day. The heart rate should be 80 to 90 percent of 220 minus your age (60 in my case), which was enough, 92 percent.

If you are too busy to go to a sports club, only 4 minutes excercise, which is hard though, may change your life.

You can do that anywhere even though it’s a small space without training tools.

Gyoza, in general, dumplings with minced pork and vegetable stuffing, is art of cooking. These ones used canned mackerel in brine in stead. There is wide variety of imagination for gyoza, no rules, just creativity, critical thinking to typical one. I don’t want to lose taste which is one of signs of corvid 19 infection, which is spreading in Tokyo.

Japanese “soba “noodle, buckwheat noodle. Egg, chicken rice box with “nori”, dried seaweed. Miso soup, salad, set menu, 13 dollars.

Relatively low calories, lower carbohydrates than other types of noodle, they say.

The taste of buckwheat noodle is highly technically sensitive of a specialist who has a long experience and talent.

You can rely on reviews on the website to some extent, but there were some restaurants which I thought I would never come again after trying. The only thing you can believe is your tongue after all.
