Haruma Miura was a Japanese actor, singer, dancer and musical star. He just turned 30 this April but he decided to depart our world by himself on 18 July. At this moment, no other information other than he committed suicide and he is no longer with us is available for us. Apparently, he left a note in his diary implying his desire to die but we do not know when exactly he left that note. His manager visited and found him dead in his apartment as most unlikely Haruma did not show up for the drama shooting without a notice. This most unbelievable news traveled fast throughout Japan on Saturday […]

You can find a 7-eleven convenience store almost anywhere in Japan. But do you know they have a good selection of sandwich snacks and sweets? They are not so expensive but the quality is very high. We would like to recommend their Egg Salad roll sandwich when you want something light to bite. It is just over 100 yen, 120 yen + tax to be precise. The egg mayonnaise is very soft and creamy, the volume of the filling is quite generous, and the roll bread is very soft and light. It is just a right portion for a snack: definitely a healthier snack than a chocolate bar or potato […]

Ringer Hut is a kind of fast food restaurants you can find almost any shopping areas in Japan. They serve Chanpon raman and Sara-Udon, deep fried thin raman with toppings.

Although it is called udon, the noodles are unlike standard udon. They are deep-fired and each udon is much thinner and very crispy. One portion of noddles is […]
