I thought I would share with you my continuing adventures of trying the different kinds of instant noodles that are available in Japan. Today's flavor is a white curry with cheese.
食べてまだまだ紹介してないカップ麺が山ほどある。今日はマルちゃんのホワイトカレーヌードル(とろーりチーズ味)。
Pretty decent cup noodles, but could use a little more cheese to really call it cheese flavored. Still, as I'm a big fan of curry and cheese - it's a winning combination.
美味しい。でもとろーりチーズ味まで書くならチーズの量をもっとあったほうが良いかも。カレーとチーズ好きな僕には良いコンビと思います。

Hanami 2010 / 花見 2010年
And now for this year's hanami (cherry blossom viewing). As always, my friends and I had ours near Yoyogi Park. On the same day there was another event going on as well - Peace Day or Earth Day or something similar so there were a lot of food booths to choose our snacks from. Of course, a couple of friends brought there homemade items as well. My friends and I are where the little tent is.
Sigara Boregi (Turkish dish filled with minced meat, cheese, and spinach) / シガラボレギ (トルコ風春巻き、具は挽肉、チーズ、とほうれん草)
One friend brought an industrial-sized bag of potato salad / 一人の友達が業務用のポテサラの袋を持ってきた
Another friend brought some fried prawns / 別の友達が海老フライを作った
Not sure what this is but it's sure darn delicious - chick peas and beans in a spicy tomato sauce, courtesy of another friend. We filled pita pocket breads with this - my favorite this year
Samosa / サモサ
An American favorite - Nachos / アメリカの定番スナックメニュー、ナショス
Kimchee / キムチ
Chicken Wings / チキン・ウィングズ
Shumai / シュウマイ
Rino at 2yrs / 梨乃ちゃん参上!
This year's gathering / 今年集まった友達
Next gathering will be for the Thai Festival next month!
さて、今年の花見は毎年でいつもの場所、代々木公園で友達と集まりました。この日になんかのイベントも開催してたので、食べ物の屋台はいっぱい出てました。手料理を持って来た友達もいた。私たちがいるのはあのテントのところです。
But as I mentioned in previous posts - cherry blossom viewing is just an excuse to get together with friends to eat and be merry! So I must share with you what we all ate.
でも花見とゆうのは、友達と集まって、飲んで、食べて、騒ぐ楽しい時間です。ってことで、今年の料理も紹介します。

Cherry Blossoms at Hama Rikyu & the Sumida River (Part 1) / 浜離宮と隅田川沿いの桜 (パート1)
As I've been putting off showcasing more cherry blossoms or writing this year's hanami, the season has already ended and most of the cherry blossoms have disappeared.
More pics of cherry blossoms to come...
あ~あ、桜と花見のネタを直ぐ書いてなかった為、桜はも散った。それでも、撮った写真アップしますね。
More pics of cherry blossoms to come...
桜の写真がまだまだつづく。。。

The Italian Garden in Minato Ward / 港区にあるイタリアン公園
Getting back to my walk on looking at the Cherry Blossoms, I was headed to Hama Rikyu Gardens from the Kyu-Shiba-rikyu Gardens and discovered a small Italian Garden located between the two parks.
