YUCa’s Diary : Week 16, 2021

Tonkatsu for Lunch. The other day, my family and I visited Yamagata prefecture and had lunch at our favorite restaurant in the Shonai airport. Their signature dish is Tonkatsu and we always choose this!

Do you know Tonkatsu (とんかつ)? I remember that my cooking class guests sometimes misunderstood Tonkatsu (=Fried pork fillet) with Tonkotsu (=Pork bone). There are some tips to make crispy and juicy Tonkatsu. If you are interested in making Tonkatsu at home, please check here!


In Yamagata, we visited an aquarium famous for the best jellyfish in Japan. We were all surprised to meet so many kinds of jellyfish in one day.

YUCa’s Diary : Week 15, 2021

Mario became 10 years old recently! He came to our house just after my husband and I started living together so he is like our first child (even now!). After him, Luigi, Kengo and Sui joined our family. I am sure Mario didn’t expect our family becomes so big! My family believe Mario is a Lucky Dog. Because he has good luck since he was a child and has been bringing us wonderful things in life. 10 years old means about 70 years old for dog. I hope he will eat well, stay healthy and live long. I found a paper put on the wall and it said “Happy Birthday, Mario!”. I am pretty sure that Kengo did that.
