South Indian cuisine


My favorite Masala Dosa


There's nothing more to say than mmmmm.... mmmm... goooood!


...all fast gone!

I have 2 South Indian restaurants that I think are best in Tokyo. Dhaba India and Nirvanam. It's hard to say which is better because both are great in its own way. Everytime I have food here, I feel like I'm back in India. It's that authentic and good!

東京で一番おいしいと思う南インドレストランが2軒あります。ダバ・インディアとニルバナム。どちらもそれぞれの良さがあるのでどっちが一番とは言えないけれど、ここで食事するたびにインドにいる気分になります。本場を思わせるくらいおいしいんです!

Stickboy Tries Yoga



This is an animation I made last year for an event for the agency I work at. Each of us had to make our own film to express who we are and what we love. Well, aside from my passion for making things, I am pretty much devoted to my daily yoga practice. So what I made is this short stop-motion animation with Stickboy. Looking back, I recall how I shot each frame in a crunch at 2 AM to meet the deadline but considering it to be my very first animation, I still love watching it and makes me happy.
I hope you enjoy it too.

このアニメーションは去年私が勤めるエージェンシーのイベント用に作りました。社員がそれぞれ自分や好きな事を表現するショートフィルムを作ったのです。大好きな創作活動以外にも、日々のヨガの練習が私にとってとても大切なので、Stickboyを使ってストップ・モーション アニメーションを作ってみました。振り返ってみると、切羽詰まって締め切りに間に合わせるために夜中の2時にフレームを一枚づつ撮影したのを思い出すけれど、初めてのアニメーション作りにしては何度みても私を幸せにしてくれます。みなさんも楽しんでください。
