试图最大程度地提高舒适度的美味咖啡

By Life in Japan

我们为外国侨民的客户提供Nespresso咖啡机。我们正在考虑昼夜如何最大限度地提高我们公寓的舒适生活。

Nespresso咖啡是我们的创意之一。

烘焙过的咖啡应存放在冰箱中。咖啡保留其味道的时间更长。然而,焙炒咖啡可以保存而不变质的时间仅为大约两周。但奈斯派索胶囊咖啡可以保存一年而不会变质。咖啡也很好吃。


Nespresso还有另一台搅打牛奶的机器。为了搅拌和搅打牛奶,我们可以品尝更多美味的咖啡。

Roasted coffee should be stored in the refrigerator. The coffee retains its flavor longer. However the length of time roasted coffee can be stored without deteriorating is only about two weeks.  But Nespresso capsulated coffee can be stored for one year without deteriorating. Also the coffee is very delicious.


Nespresso has another machine to whip up milk. To beat and whip milk we can enjoy much more good-tasting coffee.

The breakfast in Paris is a three-piece set by (1) Coffee, (2) Croissant, (3) Orange juice. Businesspersons in Paris seemed to get vital power by the simple breakfast.

Please enjoy delicious coffee in Japan, too.

Forests in Japan

By Japan Culture

Mountainous area account for 70 percent of Japan. Urban areas like Tokyo or Osaka are mere fractions. Much of this country is still covered by a forest now.

There are few treeless mountains in Japan. Everywhere in Europe there are treeless bald mountains, and on top of that every European tree is very poor. On the other hand everywhere in Japan there are a lot of huge trees.

There are huge trees on the mountains and there are rivers from the mountains. In the lower part of rivers there are an abundant crop of rice field.

In Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples there is a giant tree without exception. Please visit Koyasan in Wakayama prefecture.

If you visit Koyasan, I think  you could find the most wonderful thing in Japan. The forest is the object of worship for Japanese. So Japanese feel fearful of the forest.

Rainforests are being destroyed at an increasingly fast pace. In 2050 all 100% tropical rain forests over the world will be exterminated.

I walked all 1400 km where Priest Kobo Daishi walked 1,000 years ago. It was  the pleasurable time of my life.

On the one hand Japan pursued rapid industrialization, but on the other Japan has a historical culture that people protect forests.

Please actually experience and enjoy Japanese beautiful culture in Japan.

Realtors shall explain about the risk of Flood damage

By 未分類

Japanese government decided to make the explanation of a risk of flood damage compulsory from this August 2020. Realtors shall analyse the risk and report it for customers.

In fact these past years abnormal weather increases all over the word.

In 2018 there was a large scale rainfall in west Japan. The above photo (Kyodo) is Okayama prefecture then. The heavy rain caused the river to overflow its banks. Its damage was not only one day. The houses flooded below the floor continued over one month.

I feel there were a lot of rainfall recent years in Osaka, too.

According to a UN report the frequency of abnormal weather is increasing with the years. It is very likely that heavy precipitation events will continue to become more frequent.

In case an individual house may be flooded above the floor. So a property had better be located on elevated ground. Otherwise a house is build on a ground raised by a stone wall like the house below.

  
In case an apartment when the elevator is flooded and stopped, the upper units of a high rise building will be cut off.

I think Japanese government made the right decision.

After this house hunters should think about the risk of flood damage and realtors shall analyse and report for clients.
