拿坡里義大利麵 / Napolitan spaghetti

拿坡里義大利麵是日本的代表融合料理。是咖啡廳和餐廳的經典菜色。將煮好的義大利麵和洋蔥、青椒、火腿等用番茄醬一起翻炒。依照喜好灑上塔巴斯克辣醬和起司粉來吃。在義大利一般來說不會在義大利麵上用番茄醬。名字的由來有諸多說法,但和南義大利的港都拿坡里沒有半點關係。

Napolitan is one of the most popular fusion dishes in Japan, seen on menus at cafes and restaurants, as well as in the home. Boiled spaghetti is stir-fried, mainly with onion, green pepper or ham and flavored with ketchup. Some restaurants put boiled noodles in the refrigerator overnight and cook to order the next day. Some prefer using tabasco and cheese to flavor it. In Italy, generally speaking, ketchup is never used for any pasta, including spaghetti. There are some stories as to why the name is Napolitan, reminiscent of the port town in the southern part of Italy, Napoli. However, there’s no substance to any of them.


火山展望地・大島亮吉紀念碑 / The Monument of Oshima Ryokichi

火山展望地・大島亮吉紀念碑(位於鹿追町) 位在國道274號沿線上。位在從道路休息站「URIMAKU」往士幌町方向約2公里的地方。在落葉松防風林的後面可以看到東・西NUPUKAUSHINUPURI(阿伊努語當中意味聳立在平原當中的山)的兩座山峰。在沒有遮蔽物的十勝平原上只要吹強風就會塵土飛揚。防風林和廣大的田野就是鹿追的代表風景。

The Monument of Oshima Ryokichi (Shikaoi Town) is also famed as a viewpoint of mountains, with car parking and and an information board. It is located on route 274, approximately two kilometers away from the road station, Urimaku, when driving toward Shihoro Town. Higashi (east) and Nishi (west) Nupukaushinupuri are two mountains; and the name means high mountains on the plain in Ainu language. From this vantage point, a horizontal belt of Japanese larch can be seen over the vast field. This line of trees was planted to prevent strong winds from turning the agricultural fields into dust bowls. The view is typical in the town.




砂川高速公路綠洲 / Sunagawa Highway Oasis

砂川高速公路綠洲(位於砂川市)是付費高速公路的砂川服務區,也可以從一般道路的國道12號開進去服務區。是如同規模比較大的道路休息站般的商業設施。有許多餐廳和商店因許多人而十分熱鬧。也相鄰大型的公園和露營場。也有很多小孩子玩的遊樂設施廣場。

Sunagawa Highway Oasis (Sunagawa City) is a roadside rest stop. It’s not registered as a road station but it’s like a large road station nevertheless. It’s accessible from both the Do-o Expressway toll road and route 12, which isn’t a paid road. It houses restaurants and shops, and a lot of people visit to take a rest from the road, or even as a destination for a day trip. There is a big park with a camping site and a playground in natural surroundings for kids. The playground is called Kodomo-no Kuni, which stands for country of children.







在日本報導備受矚目的新聞4 / Some news out of Japan which might bring some relief for the Corona Virus panic 4

北海道因為是日本最初新型冠狀病毒的市內感染而受到矚目。214日出現被認為在2月上旬的札幌雪祭會場受到感染的男性患者。直至今日,現今雖然在北海道的患者人數有增加,但痊癒的人數也持續增加。至今沒有發生重病患者集中到醫院造成醫療體系崩壞的情況。


Now for some news out of Japan which might bring some relief for the Corona Virus panic
Hokkaido was in the spotlight for Japanese people at the early stage of the Covid-19 outbreak’s patient cluster map. This resulted from the first patient turning up on February 14th after seemingly contracting the virus at the Sapporo Snow Festival which was held in the beginning of February. He hadn’t been to China and no acquaintances related to him had traveled in China either. After that, the number of patients increased both in Hokkaido and Japan-wide. That being said, it has not been dramatic thus far, and the death toll hasn’t skyrocketed like in less fortunate parts of the globe. At the moment, Japan isn’t seeing a collapse of medical services.

Now for some news out of Japan which might bring some relief for the Corona Virus panic
On March 19, Suzuki Naomichi, the governor of Hokkaido, called off the proclamation of a state of emergency which he declared on February 28th. The announcement, which was in effect for three weeks, instructed Hokkaido residents not to hold parties or events where people gathered. Also, all schools were required to close. He decided to call it off because the pattern of expanding numbers of Covid-19 patients seemed to have passed its peak. He added that we should keep being careful not to get a cold and return to our normal lives. Naming it the ‘Hokkaido Success Case’, he announced that the Hokkaido Government would continue to pursue it.

拉麵沙拉 / Ramen Salad

拉麵沙拉是發祥於北海道的沙拉,也是在地菜色。將各式各樣的配料和拉麵的麵條組合後淋上調味醬汁。是北海道居酒屋的經典菜色之一。在家庭中或學校供餐也會製作。現今一般的說法是札幌格蘭酒店的啤酒館「Big Jug」於1985年時將拉麵沙拉放入菜單中後傳播開的。拉麵沙拉跟中華涼麵是不同的料理。

Ramen Salad is one of the most famous local dishes in Hokkaido, and is unable to be found on menus in other parts of Japan. A variety of toppings like lettuce or boiled egg are used, served over cold ramen noodles. It is traditionally dressed with sauce immediately prior to eating. At izakaya restaurants in Hokkaido, this is typical fare. It’s also served for school lunches and is a favorite in the home. It’s widely recognized that's its origin is Big Jug, a restaurant, in Sapporo Grand Hotel, created this in 1985 and it since grew in fame. Ramen Salad is different from Hiyashi Chuuka, which is ramen noodles in cold soup or sauce.

莫埃來沼公園 (三月) / Moerenuma Park in March

莫埃來沼公園(位於札幌市東區) 的三月因享受冬季的結束的人們而熱鬧。氣溫不像深冬一般的寒冷,特別是在晴天時出遊很開心。在高度約50公尺人工建成的兩座山上,小孩子們玩著雪橇和滑雪。在廣闊的平原上也看到有人在製作雪人。也有看到在步行滑雪,或是穿著雪靴在公園內散步的大人的身姿。

At Moerenuma Park (Sapporo City Higashi-ku) in March many people enjoying playing on the field of snow and manmade mountains. The temperature is naturally not as cold as in mid-winter, and people can enjoy a sunny day, playing in the fresh air. On the two artificial mountains, which are both approximately 50 meters high, children can enjoy sleighing or fun-skiing. On the large field, some make a snowman. On the other hand, there are adults who enjoy cross country skiing or snowshoeing, which is good exercise. This park is a good destination for families with kids this season.



3月中旬的札幌 / In Sapporo in the middle of March

3月中旬的札幌一日當中的最高氣溫為3~5度。在晴天時會感到溫暖,在住宅區也會開始融雪。因為雪溶解的水導致道路的狀態並不是很好。甚至會形成大型的水坑。如同在厚砂地或砂礫上行走般不易於步行。也必須小心從道路飛濺來的積水。最低氣溫會達到零下2、3度左右。夜晚仍然是很寒冷。是冬天和夏天的服裝交替使用的季節。

In Sapporo in the middle of March, the highest temperature during the day is between 3 to 5 degrees. On a sunny day, people feel warm and the sunlight easily melts the snow in residential areas. Unfortunately, walking on the street is much harder compared to other seasons, as puddles appear, and the piled snow gets to be like sand or small pebbles, and one’s feet get easily stuck. Also, pedestrians need to be careful of the water splashed when cars pass by. The lowest temperature falls to minus 2 or 3 degrees, so it’s still cold at night. Local people use both winter and spring jackets due to these weather condition.

姬鱒 / Himemasu

姬鱒是鮭魚科的淡水魚。原產地為美國、加拿大、堪察加半島、北海道的阿寒湖以及CHIMIKEPPU湖。在日本透過養殖廣泛分布於各種湖泊以及河川。雖然紅色的魚肉被稱作鮭魚科當中最美味的,但是味道變質很快。如同其他的鮭魚科魚類一樣,吃法有鹽烤、生魚片和油炸。此外,也可以用甜辣醬汁燉煮或是煙燻來加工。

The Himemasu is a member of the salmon family, sometimes called the kokanee salmon, and is a freshwater variety of the sockeye salmon. They are seen in America, Canada, the Kamchatka Peninsula, and Japan. They do differ slightly from country to country. In Japan, they originated in Lake Akan and Lake Chimikeppu. In the 19th century, they were brought to Lake Shikotsu to be farmed, and later spread in lakes and rivers throughout Japan. Some people say Himemasu is the most delicious of the salmon family, though they are quick to spoil. They can be grilled, deep-fried, stewed in soy sauce and sugar, or commonly smoked as sashimi.




3月3日是桃花節(女兒節),別名「雛祭(HINAMATURI)」。其由來是因為舊曆上這一天是桃花開花的季節。雖然從超過1000年以前就開始慶祝並且不分男女在舉行,但從約17世紀左右被當成女兒節來慶祝。是祈禱女孩們能健康成長的節日。向雛人偶供奉雛米餅和菱餅等,並且享用白酒和散壽司等飲食來慶祝。在超市也會販賣相關商品。

March 3rd is the day of the Peach Festival, which is one of the seasonal festivals in Japanese tradition. The festival, which dates back more than 1000 years, historically signaled the time that flowers on peach trees started blooming in Japan's old, lunisolar, calendar. Around the 17th century, it became a day for girls to pray for good health and growing up. Its other name is the Doll’s Festival. This is because we display special dolls. It’s also common to enjoy special food and drink; hina-arare or hishi-mochi, shiro-sake and chirashi-zushi. In supermarkets or shops, these related snacks and foods in modern styles are sold.
