Yumiko（California U.S.A）SAMA✨ Good mornevening !🌅🌃 Yumiko SAN's pink gazania is rare. It's a gentle and nice color !🩷😄👌 I also took photos of yellow and orange colored gazania at 'Innoshima Flower Center ' on October 24th.💛🧡🌿 I didn't have time to look closely because I stopped by there while cycling along the Shimanami Kaido.🚵💦🌊 （76km cycling from Onomichi to Imabari in one day） Have a nice day with flowers !🌺🌞✌️
Good evening, Yumiko! My Green snap photo, Thank you for always giving me a lot of “likes”. thank you! 🍀 And I’m happy that you always reply to my heartwarming messages ✨ I think Shohei Ohtani is also happy that he decided to play for the Dodgers, where such kind-hearted people like Yumiko live ⚾️✨
here we go! Tomorrow all at once Will he become a world champion? ? ✨🏆✨ Mr. Otani! Tomorrow is a home run! ⚾️✨😊✨
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. lovely Yes. I saw your photos. Nice ones. Wow 😮 you went 76km/day for cycling. Unbelievable. Respect 🫡 Now, take care of yourself. No pain~! Have a great day. with our smiles 😊😊
@太陽の塔 I have just saw your photo. “namatamago”, in 🇺🇸 nobody takes it. That’s the culture. You know…one day I wanted to eat ‘sukiyaki’, I prepared by myself. everything and eggs. It was very rare I made it. *trust raw eggs 🥚 or not!?
@ユミ Thank you for a message. Good! Now, your daily thing became normal. I know…having a trip ~ voyage ~fine. And after that ~. Good to come back to normal day ~. Have a great day! with smile 😊
@ダリア Thank you for a message. That’s great! I eat onions 🧅 everyday. Salads 🥗 Here I eat…apples, mango, banana, grapes, persimmon(kaki). My Orange 🍊 tree will be ok to eat around December ~. I will have 100,~ all my friends are waiting for my oranges. Nice to talk to you. Let’s have a good day together! with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko SAN for your prompt kind reply !😄👌 There is no pain at present.🚴♂️💦🦵🙆♂️ 10/30 was the day of TKG (Tamago Kake Gohan). That is to say, the day of raw egg on rice.🥚🍚🥢 I really like TKG. 😋🤗 I think the combination with soy sauce is especially good.🧂 You say "In USA🇺🇸 nobody takes raw egg." and "That's the culture.", I think so too, but essentially "Food knows no bordors."🌏🥘🍣🥚🍜😊 I think delicious food is delicious.✌️ Please recommend eating Sukiyaki with raw eggs for the people around Yumiko SAN.😋 I think the right road for preparing food is found in the bringing out of NATURAL flavors.🌞🥚👌😋 Have a nice day with delicious food and beautiful flowers !🌮🍝🍲🌺🌸🌼 ファイト！📣📣LA⚾️🏟️✌️
@ユミ Good morning! 🌞 Nice weather at your place?! It’s getting cold here. I wake up at 4:30am and turn on the heater. Winter is coming. Let’s take care of ourselves. Have a nice day! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. That’s right. That’s why…when I go back to Japan 🇯🇵, ‘what I want to eat’? “Tamago kake hohan”. “Sukiyaki”. ~ Three month a go ~ A dozen of egg 🥚costed $6.00. Because the chicken 🐓 farm problem. That’s today in USA. How is your day? You have taking a rest from your cycling 🚴♂️. You did a great one! Let’s have a good day together. with our smiles 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Happy Halloween ! 🎃☠️😱 Thank Yumiko SAN for your quick reply.😄🤗 I'm fine today. I'm doing good as always.🏃💦 Having said that, the cost of 77yen for one egg is too expensive in USA🇺🇸.💸🤭 The problem of chicken farm is "bird flu", isn't it ?🤔🐓 Good food (TKG or Sukiyaki) is a thing you remember !🍚🥚🥩 Don't be frugal with your money.💵 But never waste a single meal. Let's eat !😋 Let's have a good day !🌞✌️
@ユミ Thank you for a message. It’s…17°C now. When I wake up, it’s 8°C. Winter has come. Let’s take care of ourselves and go for today and tomorrow! with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. lovely Today I eat only boiled eggs(yude tamago). 👍 safe/it’s USA today. 😋when I go back to 🇯🇵, Yakitori. Sukiyaki. Syabusyabu. (Fugu)/season. Sushi. Okonomiyaki & Monjya. Unagi. Tonkatsu…a lot more. * yes I will gain at least 10 pounds. 🇯🇵 JAPAN How is your day? Let’s go for a nice one! with our smiles 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening. 🌅🌃 Thank Yumiko SAN for your kind message. 😄👌 In Japan, yakitori and okonomiyaki are delicious. And takoyaki is especially popular in Osaka. 🐙😋 It is said that every household has one takoyaki grill and one hot place for okonomiyaki in Osaka.🏯🗼🌞 There are three things that I think are the most delicious in this world.✌️ 1️⃣フグの白子🐡 (Fugu no shirako) Pufferfish milt 2️⃣羅臼産のキンキ🐟 (Rausu san no Kinki) Kinki fish from Rausu 3️⃣クジラの尾の身🐳 (Kujira no onomi) Whale's tail meat That's all.🤗 Have a nice day with delicious food !😋😄🥘🍣🌮🥩✌️ So long.
@ユミ I know…we have some trouble on our body. It’s easy to get hurt our back(senaka), hips(koshi)… We are getting aged. (toshi o totte) Still~ let’s go for today and tomorrow! I will be with you. with smile 😊
@太陽の塔 😋I feel so happy to talk about Japanese good which I have not hot here. When I went to my Fugu-place. Tora-fugu, Taisho-fugu. I usually ordered both of them. Ankimo, Shirako. Soon or later I will be back to Japan 🇯🇵. (kujira)/when I was young(1980s),I like to order Kujira-Bacon at (robatayaki)/you know, it was my favorite. After a while, we couldn’t see and eat. You say ‘tail meat’! 😋 How is your day?! I saw your a dozen of posted flowers everyday. I think you are the one of the most posting person/day. Respect We will have a good day today and tomorrow! with smile Have a great day! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko SAN very much for explaining that to me so nicely ! 😄👌 Yumiko SAN are fluent in Japanese about food.😋👌 I will talk a little more about my top 3 favorite foods.🤔🤗 1️⃣フグの白子 The taste of pufferfish milt is a hair's breadth of tofu (Kinugoshi-tofu)、but it is absolutely scrumptious.🐡 In countries where pufferfish cannot be caught, sheep brains are eaten.🤍🐏🧠😋😱 2️⃣羅臼産のキンキ Kinki fish is a deep-sea fish and can be caught outside of Rausu Hokkaido, but they vary in size, and the Kinki fish from Rausu is large and has an exquisite taste. 🐟😋✌️ 3️⃣クジラの尾の身 Whale's tail meat is delicious, as is fatty tuna, because both are parts that move a lot. So the oil coats the meat well, making it delicious when eaten as sashimi. 🐳🐟🥢😋👍 In Japan, as the saying goes "花より団子" (Dumplings rather than flowers).🌺🙅♀️🍡🙆♀️ The discovery of a new dish dose more for human happiness than the discovery of a new star.(by Brillat-Savarin)🌟🤨🥘🙆♂️ Have a nice weekend !🌞✌️
@がっちゃん Good! Everyday is coming. It’s becoming cold now here. It’s 65f(18°C) in the morning when I wake up(4:30am~). I turn on the heater ~ it’s too early? I feel cold ~ maybe getting older! 🥲 Winter has come. …where was it in Autumn? I think it’s still here 🍂. How is your day? You have been working well recently. Good concentration! 👍 Have a great day! with our smiles 😊😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Lovely 🥰 *Kinki fish/ I used to eat a lot when I was in Japan. “Kinki no nitsuke”, “Kinki shioyaki”. 😋 Still remember Today we can have less “kuzira”. How is your day? It’s getting colder. Let’s take care of ourselves. Have a great day! with smile 😊
@がっちゃん Good! You have your individual time. It makes you happy~ forever. I started on an electric blanket. “zukan sokunetsu” …My mother always told me. My room…it was cold, no heat. Just foot warmer and blanket on my legs. To study at my desk(always). My happy feeling was, when I went in my bed, it’s so warm ~I called “thank you”. It was 1970s. How is your day? See U 👋 with our smiles 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko SAN for your fun message. 😄👌 Wow, I'm jealous that you were eating so much of my favorite Kinki fish.🐟😋 Kinki fish and other fishes are best grilled. 🔥🙆♀️ But Fugu(pufferfish) is best cooked in a hot pot.🐡🍲😋 What do you call pufferfish hot pot dish in Japanese ?🤔 In Kanto, it is called Fugu-chiri but in Kansai, it is called Tetsu-chiri(てっちり). And in Kansai pufferfish sashimi is called Tetsu-sa(てっさ).😊 In Japan, pufferfish are called guns(てっぽう). This is because if you get hit by the poison of a pufferfish or a gun, you will die.🐡🔫😇🙏 Have a nice day with delicious food.🥘🍴👍 By the way, what do you think of the US presidential election ?🇺🇸🤔🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 Mr. Donald Trump became the president of 🇺🇸. 224(Harris)/292(Trump). He is 78 years old great hit. How is your day? I see your flowers. Nice ones. Have a great day! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko SAN for your compliment !😄👌 My understanding of the meaning of your sentense "I miss them 〜 " is ①のがす let loose ❌ ②なつかしい nostalgic ⭕️ ③会いたい want to meet 🔺 Does it match ? 🤔🤭 Have a nice day with flowers. So long !🌞✌️
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko SAN for your quick answer.😄👌 I understood that "Yumiko SAN couldn't meet them so much."🤔😋🐡🍲🍣 Yesterday was the first day of winter "立冬(Rittou)" in Japan.🇯🇵 So it was very cold this morning. 🥶🏔️ I heard we had the first snowfall on Mt.Fuji yesterday. This first snowfall day is the slowest day in recorded history.🗻❄️🌨️☃️ Isn't it cold in California ?🌴 Let's be careful not to catch a cold. 🤧😷😊 Have a nice day with flowers !🌺🌼🌸🏵️🌞⛳️✌️
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Lovely! It’s becoming cold. When I woke up, it’s 65f(18°C). I turned on the Gas-heater till it becomes 72f(22°C). Yes! We will have a good day today and tomorrow together! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko SAN for telling me about your condition.😄 Mornings in California are a bit cold 18 degrees.🥶😢💁♀️👌 Here we have set up an electric carpet and futon dryer.🌬️☺️😆 I hope Yumiko SAN have a warm weekend.♨️🧖♀️✌️ So long !🌃😴💤
@太陽の塔 Lol 😆! Yes. I have electric blanket, foot warmer, Chair-warmer. Fine! …you know I am getting older, I need my body warm all the time. When I swim, the temperature of the water is ONLY 79~80 degrees. 🥲 It’s too cold but I have to go in. 💪 ‘Never give up’ How is your day? I see your flowers a couple times a day. Nice ones. Have a great day! with our smiles 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko SAN for your helpful message.😄 In Japan, there is a commercial of a capybara taking a bath.🐀♨️😊 Capybaras, which are native to South America, do not like the cold. That's why they like baths.🥶🙅♨️🙆♀️ No matter where you go in Japan, you can find hot springs.🚙🧐👌 The large number of hot springs in Japan is closely correlated with the country's high concentration of volcanoes. The hot water mainly wells up in the vicinity of volcanoes.♨️🌋🧖♀️✌️ California also has many volcanoes, so I think there are also many hot springs.🤗 During the cold seson, let's take a bath in a hot spring and let's relax !🌞✌️ Have a nice day in a hot spring !😴♨️👩🌴
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. lovely I have never heard about hot springs here in California. I do not know~ When I go back to Japan, I will stay at Hakodate. Because my graveyard will be there. “Yunokawa-onsen”, I had a great time. Right now I have no plan to go Japan. Once, I decided to go ~ I stay in Tokyo for 14 days, in Chiba for 3 days, and Hakodate 10 days. Still I will swim everyday. 👍 How is your day? You are busy to see lots of cute flowers. Fantastic 👏 Have a great day! with our smiles 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko SAN for your onsen information !♨️😄👌 California has the following hot springs①〜④, but there aren't so many hot springs.🤔😊 ①Sycamore Mineral Springs ②Wilbar Hot Springs ③Franklin Hot Springs ④Travertin Hot Springs etc.🧖♂️🧖♀️🤗 Yunokawa Onsen in Hakodate is famous for good spring in Japan.🇯🇵♨️ The maple trees are illuminated, creating a fantastic view of autumn leaves.🍁🍂🌃🌌⭐️ As for food, sea foods such as squid, hairy crab, and salmon are delicious.🦑🦀🐟😋✌️ Ah, I want to go to Hakodate, Hokkaido again !✈️🚙💨 Have a nice day in onsen with delicious foods.🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. lovely Yes. When I go back to Japan 🇯🇵 and stay at Hakodate for 10 days. I will let you know. Maybe we can see there. 😊 In Hakodate, during staying, I still want to swim for one hour. I go to the city swimming pool. It has 50m swimming pool. What a nice one! In the morning, I go to the “asaichi”. And I stopped by my favorite house(today’s fresh ones). I order ‘ika. Ikura. Amaebi. Uni. Toro,Maguro…😋 …I am becoming hungry! How is your day? It’s becoming cold. Take care of yourself,yeah. See you~ with smile 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Good mornevening !🌅🌃 I really appreciate your courteous response.😄👌 When Yumiko SAN get back to Hakodate in Japan🇯🇵, please let us know.✈️😊 I would like to go to the morning market in Hakodate. I want to eat sushi, made with squid, salmon roe, shrinp, sea urchin, fatty tuna etc.😋🍣🥢 I'm going to Kyoto, home to Japan's representative nightlife destination to watch the dance. 👘🌃🌞 So I'll take tomorrow off. 🕯️⛩️🙏 Well then, good night !😴🌞✌️
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko SAN for your kind message ! 😄👌 The weather is nice today.☀️ Today I'm going to Kyoto to watch a play.👘🌇🌃 See you later.🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 How nice! I remember…”Gion Matsuri” in April. I visited there two times in a row. It’s was a nice memory. “Ryoutei”, I had one place. ‘Okamisan’ was the great person. She (moto-geisha)was so friendly and attractive(in ~1986)I still remember~ Time passes so fast. How old I am! How is your day? We will have a nice day together. I still watch your photos. Nice ones! 👏
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko SAN for your polite reply message.😄👌 These women dancing with such elegance are maiko(舞妓) and geiko(芸妓)ーfemale entertainers who perform traditional Japanese music and dances at exclusive parties.🍶🎶🎤👘👩 But many people still think gaisha(芸者) is the word for a prostitute.😞😢 As for kagai(花街), it’s difficult to translate these days.🤔 Many dictionaries still use 'red-light district' or the old-fashioned term 'pleasure quarters(歓楽街)'.🙅♀️🙅♂️😊 Maiko's large ornamental hairpins called kanzashi(簪) are modelled on seasonal flowers and changed every month. And their kimono desighs should also convey a sense of season : maple leaves(紅葉) in autumn.🍁🤗 Now, Let's enjoy the autumn leaves !🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 Thank you for an enjoyable message. lovely I remember…backing to 1970s… “Geiko” in Ginza. We had to wait…at least 15 minutes to get the seats for the next stage. Great ladies ~ show their appearance on the stage. I(we) have a nice cocktail for 30 minutes. In those days! You, too. You have had a lot of experiences. I can tell that with your photos. Keep going on! I will be with you. Gave a great day! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko SAN for your telling me about your experience.😄👌 Yes, I have had a lot of experience in Japan and abroad.🤭🌞✌️ So long.😴💤🌃🎠✨
@太陽の塔 That’s nice! I think we are the same age~ or you are a little elder to me. Anyway our story matches. Because of our age. My age is familiar on GS. They know. I was born in 1958. 66 OLD woman. I feel I am getting older~ (shikata nashi). How is your day? Good day together.
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko SAN for your heartwarming message !😊 My mental age is so young that I could pass for 35 years old. 🤭😷😎🌞👌 My belief is gratitude and challenge.🙇♂️🤔 It's hard to keep doing the easy things with all my might. Have a nice day !🌞✌️
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumiko SAN for your acknowledging my age.🤭👌 It's a mistake to think the same time flows for everyone.🤔 Is the passage of time truly an absolute ? Or does it depend on our perception of it, on what we are experiencing as we travel through it from birth to death ? Time seems to pass more quickly for old people than for the young.😄😁💦 We will be together !🌞✌️ Have a nice day !🤗
@太陽の塔 I do understand what you mean. 😄 It’s ok! You are senior to me. (5~8years). Anyway we will have a good time to see our flowers. 👍 Nice day together! 😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Wow ! I'm not senior to you. (5〜8years).😆 We are the same age or I am 1 year elder to you.🤭😊😄 Ah ! I fell into your tpap.😫😭 Anyway our story matches to see our flowers.🌺🌼🌸🌿 I walk slowly, but I never walk bachward. 🌞✌️ by Abraham Lincoln. 🧔♂️
