Today is my kyukanbi (休肝日), a day when I don’t drink alcohol in order to keep my liver in good condition. Went to a Manhachi Ramen restaurant in Aomori City and ordered “Subuta (sweet-and-sour pork) Set.” The Manhachi Ramen chain originated in Aomori Prefecture.

Took a bath at an onsen hot spring facility in Aomori city called Yuttara Onsen today. Aomori gets a lot of snow in winter, and that limits the options of people’s amusement. So it is common for people in Aomori to bathe and warm themselves up while the sun is still high. People tend to keep early hours because they need to prepare for yuki-oroshi (or snow removal) which might be required the next morning.

My dinner at home tonight. Drank canned beer with grilled mackerel seasoned with salt. Like it. When I drink beer, I don’t eat rice ’cause it makes my beer belly more beer belly.
