January sweets and events

Wow, I thought I have already published this newsletter in English...
Sorry for the delay.

As I have already announced in some places, I won't be able to have Okonomiyaki Night on Thursdays till the further notice. My condition is still not well enough to push in the evening.
Flue, I believe, gave me a miserable Christmas and New Year period... I ended up getting ant-biotics to concur chest infection.

Instead, I will have the Okonomiyaki Week later this month. So Okonomiyaki can be ordered for lunch.

I have put my resolution "a bit by bit, in my pace", but I haven't managed to get "my pace", yet. I, first, need to find "my pace". It's my first aim this year.

Japan is still in New Year's period till 15th, so I will make so much for celebrating New Year's!
