Tom and Amber in Aoyama - Harajuku
My Art-historian friends Tom and Amber stopped by on their way to Aomori from the U. S. Yukimi and I took them out for dinner and explored the streets of Aoyama and Harajuku on their second night in Tokyo.

Okonomiyaki-pancakes Hiroshima Style
I made a weekend trip to Hiroshima. Here is how to make Okonomi-yaki Hiroshima style.
1. Spread a thin crepe then put shredded cabbages
2. Put noodles, sprouts, seafood, meats whatever you like on cabbages
3. Flatten with this silver cover
4. Spread sauce and green powder over okonomiyaki. It's ready now!

It takes about 10 minutes by ferry boat to get to Miyajima.
