私わたしは今東京いまとうきょうに住すんでいますが、実じつは出身しゅっしんは静岡県しずおかけんの富士市ふじしという町出身まちしゅっしんなんです！「富士市ふじし」といえばやっぱり富士山ふじさん😊 私わたしの町まちから富士山ふじしんがとても大きく見みえます🗻 今日きょうは富士市ふじしの「名物めいぶつ」- その場所ばしょで有名ゆうめいなものを紹介しょうかいします！

まず「つけナポリタン」！ナポリタンは、日本にほんで人気にんきのパスタで、ケチャップで味付あじつけをします。ハムやソーセージ、玉たまねぎ、ピーマンなどが入はいっていて、少すこし甘あまくて食たべやすい味あじです。そのナポリタンをスープにつけて食たべるのが、富士市ふじしスタイル！私わたしが中学生ちゅうがくせいの時ときに新あたらしいメニューとしてできました！

次つぎに「生なましらす」🙌 しらすという小ちいさくて白しろい魚さかなを生なまで食たべます！しょうゆやポン酢ずをかけて食たべたり、ごはんの上うえにのせて生なまシラス丼どんにするのが人気にんきです。日本人にほんじんの中なかにもすこし苦手にがてな人ひともいます(私わたしは大好だいすき)😆

そしてもう一ひとつは「ゆで落花生らっかせい」🎉 「落花生らっかせい」はピーナッツのことですが、富士市ふじしでは固かたくなく、塩しおゆでして食たべる名物めいぶつです。そのまま食たべてもおいしいですし、おやつやおつまみにも人気にんきです。富士市ふじしでも名物めいぶつの一ひとつとして知られています！

Everyone, it’s still January, but the cherry blossom forecast for this year is already out!
Cherry blossoms usually start blooming around March to April, but in Japan, the timing is different depending on the north and the south.

The moment cherry blossoms start to bloom is called 「Kaika」 in Japanese!
And guessing something that isn’t 100% certain yet is called 「Yosoo」.
So in Japanese, the cherry blossom forecast is called 「Sakura Kaika Yosoo」!

First, Northern Japan! Sapporo in Hokkaido is expected around 4/25, Aomori around 4/17, Akita around 4/12, and Sendai in Miyagi around 4/4
In the Tohoku area, April is the main season, so I think you can enjoy it during spring break!
But a lot of people will probably come too.

Next is the Kanto area! Tokyo is expected on 3/21.
After that, in the Chubu area: Nagoya is 3/23, Kanazawa is 3/31, and Niigata is 4/5!
You can really see that the timing is slightly different depending on the area.

And then Western Japan! Fukuoka is 3/23, Kochi is 3/24, Hiroshima is 3/25, Osaka is 3/27, and Kagoshima is 3/26.

In the south, it looks like spring will arrive in late March.
But since it’s just a “forecast,” the dates might change a little from here!
So please keep checking the news!

Where would you like to go for Hanami (cherry blossom viewing) this year?
