地球規模の特売 GLOBAL DEGREE SALE

通りかかった下町の生地屋の軒先をなんとなくパチリ。ビーチグローブボールにSaieの文字。たぶんｌ（小文字のエル）にチョンと飾りをつけたんだろう。普通に読むと「せいぃぃぃ」みたいな感じ？　と、女性もののコートのタグに目を移すとGap　１０００円とあるが、これは「販売価格と通常の卸価格に驚きのギャップがあるよ」といいたいのかな？
In front of a local fabric store, a beach ball globe is hung with a sign that says "Saie"....  Perhaps the writer wanted to write "Sale". But what is more surprising is the tag on the womans jacket. It says "Gap 1,000 yen". I suppose it means "We sell at a very low price that there is a globe size Gap between what you see at other stores!"....

鵜！？ a cormorant!?

木曽川では鵜が水中に潜って魚を捕る習性を使った釣りがあるが、見たことがない。それが、先ほど皇居の水辺で微睡んいるではないか！？　当然鵜飼は見たこともないので知らない鳥だが、どうしても「鵜？」と思いパチリ＆ググッ。どうも「鵜」みたいだけど、はて～。
Kiso River that runs through Gifu-Ken is well known for "Ukai" or "cormorant fishing". I never saw one before but somehow I had an instinct, "should this be a cormorant?" So I shot photo and Googled CORMORANT. And yes, this bird seems to be a "cormorant" that dives into water to catch fish. Long time ago, cleaver people realized its behavior and introduced into their fishing technique.

遠赤外線 FAR-INFRARED

石は何も望まずひたすらにくべられたまま。しかし、真っ赤に燃えることで、沢山の人を幸せにしている。肉焼き屋のコンロの石はなんて頼もしい！
Little rocks are laying here in a cooking stove at a barbecue restaurant no matter what. It takes a very important roll by burning its self in high temperature making guests happy. How powerful these little rocks are!

八丁目の道 Hatchome St.

これは何の駄洒落だ・・・。
This is difficult to explain.... But it looks like the letter "Michi" or "street", in Japanese....

お冷 <２> Iced Water

つけ麺に「熱タレ」ってあるの知ってたら頼んでたよ…。　麺が冷たいのは普通のことなのかな？　熱～いタレに少し冷ための太麺は、インパクトがあってよさそうだね「葵さん」。　次は卵入りにしよっと。
水はただの水道水だな…。
"TSUKE MEN", one style of Japanese noodle was something new to me. It is like a "ZARU-SOBA" - a traditional Japanese soba noodles - you dip noodle into a soup, or "TA-LE". If I knew the "TA-LE" could be warmer, I originally ordered that! Dipping rather cold and thick noodle into warm "TA-LE" would be something enjoyable. Next time, I will order "TSUKE MEN" with egg "Aoi-San".
Water from the tap is not so attractive....

お冷 <１> Iced Water

日暮里駅周辺に竹の子三本。うち一本に出来たラーメン屋。正確には近くから越してきた。もっと正確に言うと、もっとあるのかも？景虎さん。僕はラーメン好きだけど、特にラーメン通ではないので、評論はしません。ただ、お水の氷がかわいいな、と思って。
Kagetora, a newly moved ramen shop in Nippori (on the first floor of one of those 3 new buildings) serves decent portion and quality ramen. Although I will leave the judgement to Ramen Freaks, I'd like to say that they serve cute ice-cubes in their water.
