Iwappara Ski Resort

February 16, 2009 · 9 comments

I took a run up to Iwappara for the first time on Saturday, it was also my first snowboard outing for 2009 …. and i loved it.

Iwappara Ski Resort is about 90 minutes by Shinkansen from Tokyo, an easy journey out and back.

It was a pretty average day, a bit overcast and rainy at times.

今年もよろしくお願いします。

As another year ends and the new one begins there’s lots of things out of my control ….. one thing firmly in my control is developing healthier eating habits.

The new “diet” for the want of a better word isn’t a New Years Resolution, it’s a necessity. I’ve smartened my eating habits up considerably in the last few weeks and will continue to refine going forward into 2009.

I don’t think Japan is an overly easy place to eat healthily, not when you love Ramen and eating out every day as much as i do, but stocking the pantry and fridge with some healthy options is a good start.

Low Cholesterol Diet

I’m all ears if you have any suggestions for places to eat and specifically types of food that can be easily bought in Japan that fall into a semi healthy category.

All the best for a happy and healthy 2009 and whatever else you’re striving to achieve.

Isoji Ramen Yoyogi

December 13, 2008 · 8 comments

On route to pick up my dry cleaning this morning i suddenly remembered a Ramen shop i was told about the other night. Isoji Ramen does a mean 味噌ラーメン from all acounts and it doesn`t take much to twist my arm and get in there for a try.

Whoa! was my first reaction as i reared the corner, deep in the back streets of Yoyogi, to see a line usually only found in a much higher traffic area. Line or not, i was going in for a bowl of ramen.
