My son and I went to Saizeriya. It was my first time to try squid ink pasta. My son was surprised by the black color of the food.

I used the Aqua-Line, a road that crosses Tokyo Bay. I'm sharing the view from Umihotaru, the rest area located in the middle of this road. It's surrounded by the ocean, but since it was night, it was pitch black.

I went to Chiba Port Tower.
It's not as good as Tokyo Tower or Skytree, but it wasn't bad.
By the way, it is 113m high.
The trees are starting to look like winter.

It's a three-day weekend here in Japan. I'm currently in Chiba, right next to Tokyo, for a drive. I plan to enjoy the views of Tokyo Bay from the Chiba side.

The wine I usually drink is Carlo Rossi from the United States.
At my local supermarket, it costs 550 yen for 720ml. It's a reasonable and delicious wine.

It looks like we're finally ready to harvest the radish. It took a while, probably because it's the wrong time of year.

I didn't have much of an appetite, so I had yudofu (boiled tofu) for dinner. My fever still hasn't gone down, so I'll be staying in bed tomorrow too.

I came down with a high fever. 38.5 degrees Celsius (101.3 degrees Fahrenheit). I was diagnosed with the flu. Influenza is spreading in Tokyo. Please be careful.

I didn't have time to cook dinner, so I went to Gyoza no Ohsho. This is a fast-casual Chinese restaurant. My 8-year-old daughter was unhappy that the shop wasn't for girls.

I made tomato soup. The ingredients are onions, green peppers, carrots, lotus root, enoki mushrooms, and sausages.
I made this with leftovers from the fridge, and the flavors came together nicely.

I sowed seeds of leafy greens like mizuna, komatsuna, red sorrel, and radish that can be harvested in the fall.
Even though it's fall, some days the temperature hits 27 degrees, and I just noticed that they've sprouted.
