Dining Bar-uguisu-

The end of last year, I went to a wine bar uguisu. This is one of the dining bars in Sangenchaya. I had never been to a dining bar before, so I was a little bit nervous. 

I thought this was a large bar before I went because it was a popular dining bar on the Internet, but there are only fifteen tables and five counter seats and only three staff. It's a not large bar. Uguisu gives a high priority to wine and vegetables. 

The staff has a lot of knowledge of wine. Before we ordered, the waitress explained about the red wines, white wines and sparkling wines that customers often want. Then I ordered sparkling wine. I drank two kinds of sparkling wine. Both were more mellow than any wine I've ever drunk. The dishes were also nice! We ordered several dishes, and we especially liked the Sauteed Duck. It came with many kinds of vegetables that I've never eaten. We sat at a counter seat, so the staff explained about the vegetables. He said "Today is the last business day of this year, and we'll take vacation for some time from tomorrow, so we used more ingredients than usual." We were so lucky!

For desert, we ordered Cheesecake and Strawberry Shortcake. The Cheesecake had a rich cheese taste. I think it was a good match with the wine. The Strawberry Shortcake was fluffy sponge cake and had a cream taste. Both were delicious.

Uguisu is a nice dining bar. The wine and dishes were delicious, and the interior and atmosphere were good. Above all the staff were polite. I want to go there again, and then I'll try other wine and dishes. There are not so many seats, so I recommend making a reservation if you want to go there.

Movie review -Yo-kai Watch-




Hello everyone. Today's review is about the Japanese animated movie "Yo-kai Watch." This movie opened on December 20 from LEVEL FIVE. "Yo-kai watch" is the title and a key item in the story. This is a very popular animation and I also like this animation because the characters are cute and the story is not only for children, but sometimes it's funny for adults too.

The story's outline
The main characters (Keita, Jibanyan and Wisper) had some trouble and they are saved by Fuyunyan who is a new character. They time traveled to sixty years ago by Fuyunyan's request and they met Keita's grand father Keizo. Then they fought their enemies to change the future.


My impression 
As I thought, most of the story is for children, and some of the material is for adults. The story was not boring, but it was commonplace. My favorite point is the materials. For example, there were homages to popular animation and TV dramas. I think this movie is good for children, so I recommend it if you have a child. However, I have one unfortunate point on an individual basis. That is there was little time for my favorite character, Komasan.
