a blue pyramid we found in our neighbor

we found this beautiful blue pyramid after our kashiwagi class at the late night on 27th, this one might look like a pyramid at the louvre museum in paris. but this one looks more cool because its blue lighted surface. it's a shame, i did not take a photo of the Arc de Triomphe just infront of pyramid. this Arc de Triomphe is also cool and a bold new looking arc! so i tried to take a photo of pyramid thru the arc but could not make it with an arc and nothing to work out. photo:mario is carrying hoops on his shoulder on his bike. reminded me E.T

which side is your spiral ?

When you come to our class and you will know that you are right brained type or left brained type. Because there is a spiral in your rotating. Try rotate your waist either side. Which side made you comfortable to rotate your waist?



This is a fun exercise that tells us if you are right or left brained. Turning clockwise or Anti-Clockwise? If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain. Most people turning counter-clockwise direction.

In our primary class 1 sometimes 1 clockwiser out of 10 anti-clockwisers. As for me,I am clockwiser but Mario is anti-clockwiser. so we switch the students sometimes when we demonstrate. We also switch the hoop rotation frequently.

These are very interesting lists I found below. Let's check them out and find out how they matching you.

Sanma rocks !

Lurrrve Sanma !秋刀魚 or  we can write either way. anyways there is conected with the both charactors but we write and read the same way. Sanma in school comes close to Japan in fall everyyear. In this year, in order to the stream of tide changing by the typhoon, The Sanma in school came much closer to Hokkaido so the sanma are caught in large quantities in this area.



I am appreciated so much that sanma is very cheap about 100 yen for 1 尾(bi)at any markets.


I cooked vinegrett dressing with thin sliced paprika and eringii mushrooms on a sauteed sanma.The sanma has so much oil which is the Eicosapetaenoic acid. sometime people take the oil out hen they cook because the most of J-food is not so greesy. But sanma has soooo much the Eicosapetaenoic acid in itself. don't throw this away, don't wipe this oil out of the pan with kitchen paper like the most of Japanese house wives do. That's why I make a vinegrett dressing for not so oily feeling like ojisan. Depends on how you feel, put sugar little bit or chilli pepper or basil powder. I prefer to put a little bit of shoyu so that it would go with gohan better.


Fresh sanma does not smell and is very clean. It is not so difficult that you can choose fresh ones at the supermarket. This is the most important thing to pick clear pretty eyes with a yammy sanma and it should not get scraped or no wounds on the sanma body. Cut a head and in a half of body without your loss and cut it like a samurai ! (it maybe suitable to say to chop it off but i feel like to say to cut it off like using a Katana.) And to open up its belly with a cut it into the horizontal line through its belly to get the insides which is very tasty to eat but it tastes bitter, so don't hasitate to throw the insides away. The insides and blood make very stink afterward if you don't clean up well. Put some salt with your finger tip on an opened belly of each cut sanma. Put 1 tea spoon of olive oil and saute some cut sanma on a frying pan with a small heat otherwise they go so easy to get burned black because of the sanma oil. After the sanma being sauteed, put sliced vegitable in a same pan without clean up because the sanma oil is very famouse, so much good for the triglyceride and the metabolic syndrome.  now ready to serve and eat it out !

Maji-WooMaee-y'all!

Namaste ! Tokyo Hoopies

So many peps are going to Namaste India Festival at Yoyogi ko-en every year !This year, they expect that there will be participated 100000 people thru the festival being held. A guy at an Indian restaurant in my neighbor said there will be 7 curry restaurants available at the somehow peaceful area around the stage as you know if you've explored Yoyogi ko-en.



I am so starved to curry with nan and maybe some tandor chicken, ice creme, and more chai, lololol. One of my girlfriend owns a a curry shop, kinda stand like under Shimokitazawa station.


There is a very nice Indian guy cooks gorgeous curry and tandor chicken, especially they have a heavily look stove behind the counter for their original yummy nan ! He usually chats with his warm smile and a nice Indian accent Japanese, and to put some nans against the wall of stove alternately. Some sort of back and forth behind the counter as a 3 stars kitchen master.

I have no infomation to visit this hidden place at this moment ! Only one thing I can tell is that this counter restaurant is hidden under the Odakyu Shimokitazawa
station.

First of all, we thank our precious God to be given us a huge chance to bring the Hooping and the Hoopdance as a first bring to Japan and to become a first hooping and hoopdance instructors in Japan.


Even though we are the very first bring hooping, hoopdance and the professional hooping class to Japan, there seemed any other hoopers except us in Japan at that time. Hula hoops has been a kid's toy for a long time since the mid 50's as the same situation as its wherever in this planet, and there is one more thing which is for the adult interest especially trend dietter who is always looking for a new diet material. But we wanted to spread over Japan and to teach hooping and the hoopdance so we did.

Then,we had started to look for our space for the hooping and hoopdance in this kind of barren land or we should say a dried up sponge!

We finally came to the open our hooping beginner class on May 12th 2007 in Shinjuku Gyoen Tokyo. We got succesed our beautiful class, and had gorgeous students with a perfect groove in our hoopstoreTokyo debut !
