We tweet about things that are not related to our work.

Skiing
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
We went to Yuzawa in Niigata Prefecture for one night and two days from May 4, taking advantage of the Golden Week vacations.
The purpose was skiing.
We left home at 3:30 a.m. on the 4th.
We arrived at the ski resort a little after 9:00 a.m., taking a break at a service area on the way.
We used to go skiing every week during the winter ski season until I was about 34 years old.
However, We had not been able to go recently, and it had been about seven years since I had skied.
Therefore, I was excited to ski for the first time in a long time.
Even though I had driven a long distance, We immediately started skiing.
This time we went to a ski resort called Gala Yuzawa.
Since it was the end of the season, the snow was sticky and there were not many runs to ski.
Even so, the ski resort was crowded with families.
Perhaps it was because everyone seemed to be enjoying skiing with a cheerful face, as it was the first time in three years that they had not been asked to refrain from going out.

Morning Exercise, Activity
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
I have started a morning activity.
I do a little training and studying before I go to work.
When I was working, I could not make time to be active at night, so I tried to change my life rhythm.
Morning activity is good.
I feel like I can use the time of the day without wasting it.
However, in the evening, I feel quite sleepy.
It seems that human beings are designed to feel sleepy eight hours after waking up.
To avoid poor conditions in the evening, close eyes for a little while when feel drowsy.
Just closing eyes for one to five minutes is said to have a sufficient effect on resting your brain.
When I am so busy that I don’t have time to do so, I just hold it in.
Since I have only been doing morning activities for a short time, I will do my best to get used to this rhythm.

Lemon Soda – RAMUNE
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Ramune, a carbonated beverage often seen at summer festivals.
May 4 is “Ramune Day” designated by the National Ramune Association.
Ramune is a carbonated beverage in a bottle with marbles.
The word “Lemonade” is said to have been converted into the word “Ramune”
Due to the spread of the new coronavirus and other factors, summer festivals and other events were cancelled one after another.
As a result, sales in Japan declined, but in recent years, sales have been strong overseas, particularly in the United States and China.
It appears that exports to the U.S. and China, where carbonated beverages are mainly favored, are thriving.
Ramune, which is opened by pushing down on a marble to “push” it open, ( sound like pushuuuuu ) is said to be gaining popularity as a traditional Japanese beverage.
I am not sure how Corona will be affected this summer, but I hope the sound of marbles being opened at festivals and other venues will echo in Japan as much as possible.

Glowworm-Umihotaru, Parking Area
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Parking Area Umihotaru is located in the middle of Tokyo Bay
Umihotaru is located between Chiba and Kanagawa Prefectures.
It is a parking area in the middle of the Tokyo Bay Aqualine, a 15-km-long expressway that crosses Tokyo Bay.
The most distinctive feature of the parking area is that it is located in the middle of Tokyo Bay, which is different from other expressway parking areas.
There is a bridge called the Tokyo Bay Aqua Bridge in the 4.4 km section from the Kisarazu direction in Chiba Prefecture.
On the opposite side, there is an undersea tunnel called the Tokyo Bay Aqua Tunnel in a 9.5 km section from the Kawasaki side in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Umihotaru is located where the tunnel and bridge connect.
In addition to the general function of a parking area, many people visit Umihotaru as a sightseeing spot.
It is also famous for local delicacies from Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures, such as seafood rice bowls and sushi.
It is also famous for sunsets, sunrises, and night views of Tokyo Bay.
You can access Umihotaru by highway bus from Kisarazu Station and Kawasaki Station.

Pistachio Nuts No. 2
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
I found this article.
【Cargo Data File】Tokyo Customs Summary: Pistachio imports up 60% in volume and value in 2009
According to “Pistachio Imports” compiled by Tokyo Customs, imports in 2009 were up a whopping 60% from the previous year in both volume and value.
I wrote a tweet about pistachios some time ago, and as I expected, their popularity seems to be accelerating.
I have foresight, don’t I (bragging to myself)?
In particular, imports of pistachios without the shells are growing.
The ratio of pistachios imported with shells attached (shelled) to those without shells is 68.8% for shelled and 31.2% for unshelled on a weight basis in 2021.
Unshelled products are mainly used for confectionery.
As I was told, we see pistachio-flavored cookies, cakes, chocolates, etc.
As the weather gets hotter, they would also be perfect for ice cream.
It remains to be seen how long this boom will continue.

”Conveyor Belt Chain Sushi Bar” SUSHIRO
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
I knew it would be coming soon.
Major conveyor-belt sushi chains will finally raise their prices.
In addition to the global high prices of raw materials, the air transportation costs of Norwegian salmon and other marine products seem to have been affected by the recent inability to pass over Russian airspace.
The price increase itself is the first in the company’s 38-year history since its establishment in 1984.
We can keenly feel how much the common people’s friend is suffering.
The increase in price is said to be from 10 yen to 30 yen( U.S. 8 ~ 25 cents), and it will be effective from this fall.
My family is a fan of another Chain Sushi restaurant, but I think it is only a matter of time before they raise their prices as well.
The children don’t care about the price, but I think it will affect their occasional pleasure of eating out.
I will do my best to earn money.

Chicken Meat
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Let me tell you about the appeal of chicken.
Chicken is a meat that is relatively cheaper than other meats and is high in protein and low in fat.
Protein is often thought of as a nutrient that is necessary for building muscle, but it also has the following benefits.
Skin beautifying effect
Prevention of aging of hair and blood vessels
Relief from fatigue
Improvement of immune system
And etc, many kind,
In addition to protein, it contains many vitamins and minerals, including a large amount of vitamin B6.
Vitamin B6 is called a coenzyme.
It promotes the body’s metabolism and has a calming effect.
It is a very important nutrient, especially for women, and helps maintain hormonal balance.
A deficiency of vitamin B6 can cause the following
Anemia
Cramps and swelling
Eczema
Decreased immunity
In addition, recent studies have shown that it is expected to be a food that can prevent dementia.
I encourage everyone to try eating chicken to build a healthy body.
By the way, I eat it every day to make my muscles bigger.
