Sachifukuya - Japanese Restaurant

Today, I will introduce Sachifukuya in Machida. Sachifukuya is a Japanese restaurant that serves traditional healthy Japanese food. It's located in the Machida Tokyu TWINS on the 8th floor. I often visit Machida, but this was my first time to eat at this restaurant.

 

This restaurant is quiet and has a relaxed atmosphere. The menu items are mainly the set meal of meat or fish, boiled rice with tea and a bowl of rice. We can choose either polished rice or whole grain rice. This restaurant provides fish dishes in season for a limited time. Therefore we can taste the season while eating. I ordered Chirimenhime Don. Chirimenhime Don is dried young sardines on rice. Grated yam, miso soup and a pickle are included in this menu besides the bowl of rice. In addition, this restaurant has an all-you-can-eat campaign of cod roe now, and we can eat as much as we like. The price of this menu is 980 yen. Please look at the photograph. I think this price is cheap with this quantity. We can eat other items for around 1,000 yen, too, and we can have another serving of rice and miso soup.

 

We went to this restaurant as a group of five people on a Saturday night, but we were able to sit down soon without waiting long. There are a lot of seats in the restaurant, so I think that reservations are not necessary. The shop is all non-smoking, but you can use the smoking area on the same floor to the left of the shop. You can pay in cash or with credit card.

Movie Review-Hairspray

I will review the movie “Hairspray”. I learned of this movie last year. This movie is a musical movie that came out in 2007. The director is Adam Shankman and he did the choreography, too. His masterpiece is a musical movie, “Rock of Ages”. Nikki Blonsky and Zac Efron who are famous for the "High School Musical" series appear in "Hairspray". John Travolta, who is famous for “Grease”, plays the woman with a big body in special make up.

Tracy is a high school student who dreams of  appearing on an extremely popular TV program. She is ideal for both dance and fashion, but she is really fat. She catches the eye of the host of the program, and her appearance on the show is decided. However, she gets in trouble with the mother of her rival.

I watched this movie and was made to think about discrimination against African-Americans in America. Probably there is no discrimination against African-Americans in Japan, and there are few opportunities for us to learn about it. So I’m glad to be able to know about this with music only a little. I thought that the Japanese should respect people of all races and live freely without minding the color of the skin. There is much bullying because of looks recently in Japan. Confidence disappears in one’s self image because of the bullying and news of suicide doesn’t die out. I think that it is important that people love themselves. This movie can tell us that the world doesn't change even if I mind the public eye. This movie tells me to have confidence in myself.
