How to become a Yakuza Girl
it's one page of my biography in 2005. the recorder was my friend in tokyo, Junko who used to be a M'D of Sakagura. she married with american guy in japan, and got a baby (girl) last year!(super cute!) they are living in tokyo now. Junko and i went to the tattoo studio after got drunk with my other friends in tokyo, it was around 11pm. i decided to get this SAKURA tattoo because i swore to live in NY as real Japanese. (of course not for being yakuza girl...) when i wonder if i should go or not, i see this tattoo on mirror, and make sure my real mind....

restaurant MEGU report
famous ice buddha
grilled sishamo smelt
simmered shiitake mashroom
roasted duck
seared yellowtail sushi and sea urchin sushi
vinegared seafood sunomono
wagyu beef grilled a top hot stone (wagyu is much more expensive than kobe beef)
green tea
bad girls
OH MY GOOOOD!!! i got totally changed my mind by Riyoko's husband's dishes at MEGU. he is amazing!
we had sushi counter seats in front of riyoko's husband Mr.Dan. (he is japanese) we had Dan's special OMAKASE full course dinner with expensive super premium sake KUBOTA MANJU ($180 by bottle at megu). it's expensive sake, but i had to pick something good one because i knew that Dan didn't charge anything for dishes, so i wanted to pay at least for drink. but they refused my offer! it's unbelievable.... i'm sure, the cost was over $800 for 2 people....
all dishes were amazing. i really love their sushi style its very small like Edomae Sushi. Riyoko told me that one of sushi chef who took care of us used to be most famous sushi restaurant in Ginza, Tokyo, Ginza Kyubei's sushi chef. i see....
i didn't take pics all sushi and sashimi, but we had a lot actually.... i MUST DO something good for them sometime soon.... oh my god.
after the dinner, we had just one drink and coffee with Kumi mama and Akane. it was wonerful girls night.

i was born in a deep forest
i was born in a hospital actually though. haha. but this huge beech tree forest, SHIRAKAMI FOREST is in my small hometown Akita, Japan. there is authorized as a world heritage by UNESCO. some big and thick trees are over 400years old. have you seen hayao miyazaki's movie MONONOKE PRINCESS? you will be able to picture the forest in the movie. according to some books and mountain guide people, beech tree gives huge energy to people, if you touch or feel them. so, i touched and felt them a lot, when i visited there 2years ago with my mom, and my deceased father's best friend Mr. Takahashi from L.A.
did i get huge energy from the forest? oh, yeah.
