I like Tokyo Central's weighed fish !
I sometimes buy it for dinner.
But today I wondered
if the weight of the container is subtracted ?

When I bought fish at another store once,
it was an expensive sashimi, ? and when I weighed it,
the thing under the fish that absorbs water was included in the weight. I found that the weight of the fish included the water-absorbing material that had been pulled out from under the fish. It was heavy with water.

Thank you for the details and explanation ✨
Next time I buy a weighed one, I will weigh it at the store, go home and weigh it again, then compare it with the receipt … before I eat it!

I always try to eat it after weighing it, but when I get home I forget and eat it!

Please let me know your results too!

Tokyo Central would not be subtracting by the type of container.

Nijya-san must have given us a specific number, 0,5, because he is subtracting the weight of the container.

Tell us, Tokyo Central!

Normally you would think that the weight would vary from container to container. It would be strange to assume that it is not subtracted.

I came to PCH Tokyo Central today and noticed it was next door to Best Buy. I had been coming here at night in someone's car, so I couldn't see it clearly and misunderstood. Sorry about that.
Also, the contents of the quantity sales were very different from the main store. Nijya Torrance and Tokyo Central PCH Torrance have a lot of fried foods.

It is reported in the news that retail prices in Japan are about double what they were last year due to a rice shortage.
Last year's harvest was up from the previous year, yet it is not on the market. California rice is also being imported, but not enough to bring down the price of rice.
So MAFF announced the release of the stockpiled rice, but it has been slow and has not actually been released, but today they finally made a concrete announcement.
According to the announcement, the amount to be released is 210,000 tons, which is the same amount as the 210,000 tons said to have disappeared somewhere, which is a good decision.
Those who are hoarding rice for speculative purposes need to be made aware that they are not making money.

My phone has English specs but I can read Japanese. Since yesterday, Japanese comments on instagram are in Japanese for a moment and then immediately change to English on their own.
I'm having trouble googling how to set the language to Japanese only. I'm not used to using the Japanese language and can't understand Japanese when I set it to Japanese specs. I want to read the specifications as they are in English and not translate the Japanese. Can someone please tell me how to do this? Please help me.

are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

Which airline do you think has the best food?

Which mode of transportation do you use to get to the local area?

I accidentally forgot to buy tickets for this summer.
I always bought them on Black Friday, but things have been going on since last year and it slipped my mind, so I panicked and looked up LAX → SFO → Haneda → Local seems to be the cheapest. I am anxious with my child as I always fly only via Haneda.

I wonder if there will be different tickets if I wait a little longer ? Is it only going to go up from now on ??

You know, in the old days, before Uber and the like, expatriates with H visas from big companies used to get caught for drinking at cabarets
A police car would be waiting hidden by the cabaret, and they would pick out a nice car and catch them
But I don't think they had any problems with their visas. I was warned not to get in the car if I drank, and to return home if caught.

It was a long time ago, around 1930, I was running a flower shop in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. Three years later, for some reason or other, they returned to Japan, but when the three of them were still alive, ( I found information and books of the flower shop in my childhood ) and the address.
It was a pre-war address, "332 E. first street, Los Angeles Calif.
However, since it is an old address, I can only find "maybe here ?". Because when I did a GOOGLE search, it was in front of the Sakura Hotel.
The address of the flower shop was "under Ohayo Hotel" from there.
I am having a hard time finding out where the Ohayo Hotel was located and if it was possibly the predecessor of the Sakura Hotel.
I am planning to visit Los Angeles in the near future to see my grandmother's roots, which were Japanese-American. ( I'm not sure if it's inside Skid Row, but )

Perhaps there is a 90+ year old person who has lived in Little Tokyo since childhood, and if memory serves, there may be a chance.
If anyone has any information, please let us know.
By the way, the name of the flower shop my grandfather owned at that time was Tei ( MIKADO )

The problem is that we specialize in American cars ~.
Usually, visas are granted to people who have skills that American people don't have.
It is hard to believe that foreigners know more about American cars than Americans.
Sponsors might be willing to sponsor a store with many Japanese customers if they really need a mechanic who can speak Japanese. I don't think so.

Not many companies issue Working Visa

Dear rxp and everyone
thank you for your replies.
I have applied for DV2026.
I will do some research.

In a manner of speaking, I am a mechanic, but I work in Japan ( specializing in difficult problems that dealers and other stores have been unable to solve, mainly new model vehicles ) mostly computer and electrical .
We are working in the same environment as the dealers in the home country, from the acquisition of information to the facilities, by contracting with a US manufacturer GM FORD CHRYSLER USNISSAN USTOYOTA.
If your skills are recognized, you may be able to work somewhat. Of course, I can do all mechanical repairs.
I run an automotive engineering company, so management relations are good, and I contact the US daily to gather information and import cars and parts.
My English is at an everyday conversational level and I am training with a dedicated teacher.
