Chilled Tokyo
We still don't have snowing but really cold days here Tokyo.
Ah...I want to be a bear then I can sleep till spring to come :p
But we have 'Kotatsu' and 'Nabe' to get through this cold days!
Do you know them??
'Kotatsu' is a low table attached heater inside and covering with a blanket.
It's so comfortable and I often slept in the Kotatsu :)
And one more thing, we can't forget about 'Nabe' ;)
'Nabe' is a Japanese Hot Pot and we have a lots of kind variety of that.
We going to put lots of vegetables and pork or beef, seafood, chicken, anything okay!
This picture which I found in internet, this is 'Kimuchi Nabe'!
It mainly cooked with Korean pickles called 'Kimuchi', and I love it.:D
It's so easy to cook and healthy and also too tasty...!!
It just good and let's have a 'Nabe party' ;)
Comments
I have never tried a kotatsu, but one of my favourite scenes from Azumanga Daioh is where Oosaka is adicted to Chiyo-chan's kotatsu.
I don't know if you have seen it? It's very funny!

Hi Stu san!
Is that from anime?
I have not seen it and wondering what it is..?
I think you will like Kotatsu anyway ;)

Yes... from Manga and Anime.
Wikipediaで「あずまんが大王」を読めますよ。あずまんが大王は面白くてとても楽しいでとおもいます。

I see, thank you Stu san ;), I just wondering you can get that manga in UK??

We can get it in the UK, but it is translated into English. There are lots of explanations where the joke needs you to understand Japanese language or culture!

That's good isn't it!Manga and Anime are good stuff to learn language, even a culture ;)
