The Ohsho chain was featured on TV the other night. According to the show, business was slow a few years ago. Then business picked up, and it is even better than before. How did this happen? The company decided to do two things. First, it created a place called “chori dojo” where shop managers from all over Japan come and learn how to cook better. Secondly, it started a new type of Ohsho called “Gyoza Oshsho” which has a different atmosphere and tries to attract female customers. I just checked their website and found a Gyoza Ohsho at a shopping mall near Nagoya. (by a reader)

I went to the Jozankei View Hotel with my family. My room was great, and I had a lot of fun! I went to the hotel pool with my little brother, and we had a great time swimming and playing with a beach ball. Then we went to a restaurant. It was an all-you-can-eat buffet so I chose my favorite food: steak, French fries and sushi. After that, we went to the shops, took a big bath and went back to our rooms. I was full, so I went to bed early. The next day, we had a buffet-style breakfast, too. I ate so much that my belly almost burst! I want to stay there again on my next vacation. (by a reader)
