２０２３年５月６日 土曜日の朝は雨のスタートです。今日は家族がそれぞれの地へ旅立つお別れの日です。昨日は子供と美術館で山本二三展へ行ってきました。
併設の公営駐車場がなかなかの混雑だったので近所の大病院の駐車場に車を止めて入場しました。
山本二三は子供のリクエストで見に行くこととなったのですが久しぶりの美術鑑賞でした。
スタジオジブリと縁が深く、その背景画を描いた方です。古くは、未来少年コナン、風の谷のナウシカ、ルパン三世、じゃりン子ちえ、もののけ姫などなど誰もが知っているアニメにかかわっている方です。
息をのむような写実的な描写～空や雲そして自然の風景や建物、幻想的なものまで様々なものを繊細なタッチで表現した素晴らしい画像をじっくり鑑賞した癒しのひとときでした。
とてもこんな細かく繊細に絵を描くことは自分には難しいと感じたりもしました。その人に向いていることを見つけ、頑張りを向け続ける重要性を改めて感じました。
美術鑑賞の後はマックスバリューでラム肉とキャベツ、シイタケなどを購入し家に帰って焼きそばを作りました。ラム肉の焼きそばもけっこうおつです。
夜は みんなで回転すしの 根室はなまるへ行ってきました。（数年前の動画は下部にリンクを張っておきます。）
ゴールデンウイーク真っ只中ということで16時45分に店についたところ持ち帰りとイートインを待つ長蛇の列でした。とりあえず順番待ちの名前を書いて駅周辺を観光客に交じりながら時間調整。
駅周辺は観光客でにぎわい、本来の姿に戻っていることに安心しました。コロナ直前に出来た駅前の施設も店が入り賑わいを見せておりました。地元産の高級海苔が5千円から1万円ぐらいで売っておりました。きっととってもおいしいと思います。いつか来る独立の？お祝いにでもいただきたいところです。（結構先の話ですが。。）
そうこうするうちに名前を書いた根室はなまるに ようやく順番が回ってきて店内へ入りました。時刻は18時を回っており結局1時間20分ほどの順番待ちとなりました。
人手不足なのかシフトの誤りなのか客の数のわりに店員が少なく、これが待ち時間を作る要因のようです。みなさん忙しそうに仕事に取り組んでおられました。まぁこの時期に暇そうでも困りますしね。
目当てのホタテの二段重ね、えんがわの炙り、しめさば、トロたく、ほっきなどを堪能し充実の最終日となりました。
I went to a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant.
May 6, 2023 Saturday morning is off to a rainy start. Today is the day to say goodbye as families leave for their respective places. Yesterday, my children and I went to the museum to visit the exhibition of Fumio Yamamoto.
The public parking lot attached to the museum was quite crowded, so we parked the car in the parking lot of a nearby large hospital and entered.
We went to see the exhibition at my child’s request, but it had been a long time since I had seen art.
He is closely related to Studio Ghibli and painted its backgrounds. He has been involved in many well-known animations such as Conan the Future Boy, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Lupin the Third, Jarinko Chie, Princess Mononoke, and many more.
It was a healing moment for me to appreciate the breathtakingly realistic depictions of the sky, clouds, natural scenery, buildings, and fantastical things, all expressed with a delicate touch.
I sometimes felt that it would be difficult for me to paint such detailed and delicate pictures. I was reminded of the importance of finding what one is suited for and continuing to direct one’s efforts toward it.
After the art appreciation, we bought lamb, cabbage, and shiitake mushrooms at Max Value and went home to make yakisoba. The lamb yakisoba was quite tasty.
In the evening, we all went to Nemuro Hanamaru, a revolving sushi restaurant. (See the link at the bottom for a video from a few years ago.)
We arrived at the restaurant at 4:45 p.m., as it was the middle of Golden Week, and there was a long line of people waiting to take out and eat in. I wrote down my name on the waiting list and adjusted my time while mingling with tourists around the station.
I was relieved to see the area around the station bustling with tourists and back to its original state. The facility in front of the station that was built just before Corona was also bustling with stores. High quality local seaweed was being sold for 5,000 to 10,000 yen. I am sure it is very tasty. I would like to have some for a celebration of my independence? I would like to have it as a celebration of my coming independence. (That’s a long time away, though…).
In the meantime, my turn finally came around at Nemuro Hanamaru, where I had written my name, and I went inside the restaurant. It was around 18:00 and we had to wait for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
There were not enough waitstaff for the number of customers, which seemed to be one of the reasons for the long wait. Everyone seemed busy working. Well, it would be a problem if they looked bored at this time of the year, wouldn’t it?
We enjoyed our last day of the restaurant, which included two layers of scallops, seared engawa, shime saba, torotaku, hokki, and other dishes.
