Those of you who have crossed the ocean to come here to Los Angeles and Japan
are always concerned about something related to your travel between Los Angeles and Japan.

If you have anything to say or questions, please feel free to write.
I'll try to write "something" as well.

Example ：
What means do you use to call when you return to Japan?

Which seat on the plane do you prefer, Aisle or Window, front, back,

Which airline do you think has the best food?

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

and so on and so on

This is Baikinman. For some reason—perhaps a mix-up—I haven't been able to post my writings lately.

I believe it started around 2009—excluding the pandemic period—and whenever I travel to Japan once a year, I walk the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, dividing the full circuit into roughly one-quarter sections and completing about two and a half circuits so far.

To be continued...

I haven't traveled to Japan yet this year.

Did I go last year? My memory isn't so clear—my dementia is getting worse.

I remember meeting up with four friends from junior high school at the ticket gates of Kunitachi Station on the Chuo Line in Tokyo

and going to a nearby restaurant.

According to K, who organized the trip, he tried calling everyone on the list from the old class reunion roster, but

either most of them had changed their phone numbers or those numbers were no longer in use,

so he couldn’t reach anyone. Well, it can’t be helped—we’re all over 80, after all.

I thanked K for all his hard work.

When you’re over 80, even if you’re still alive, you’re practically an alien—it’s so sad...

＞ The ticket gates at Kunitachi Station on the Chuo Line in Tokyo

That said, I imagine many of you don’t know exactly where “Kunitachi Station on the Chuo Line” is located in Tokyo.

To begin with, people usually read “Kokuritsu” as “kokuritsu,” right? But it’s actually pronounced “Kunitachi.”

Even I, who was born and raised on the eastern outskirts of Tokyo, used to pronounce it “kokuritsu” until around middle school.

Sorry for the pointless comment.

アメリカ人の義母と私の子供から見て誰が伯父•叔母に当たるのかの話をしていた時に、Auntyに当たらない人でもAuntyをつけると、丁寧な言い方になると言っていました。
私は義母の事を名前だけで呼んでいるので、ちょっと失礼だなぁと思われているのかと少し心配になりました。
Aunty Uncle 付ける付けないと義母の呼び方について、うちではこうしてるなどご意見頂きたいです。

アメリカで義母を呼びかける時は名前で呼ぶことは、
全然失礼ではなく一般的だと思います。
義母の方からmomと呼んでねとか言われた時はそう呼べば良いです。
日本だと義母に名前で呼ぶ方は余りいないと思いますが
アメリカですから日本に当てはめなくても
大丈夫ですよ。

I think the ramen shop in Pacific Square was "Daisuke".
The portions were American size and I was full.
I remember there was also an udon shop somewhere with the same name.

Men-Bei ！ That brings back memories. I used to love the Stamina Don. My daughter lives in San Jose, and she sent me a photo.
It showed the owner of Men-Bei hard at work. The restaurant is called Men-Bei Ramen. The address is 1349 Coleman Ave, Santa Clara, CA 95050. If I ever have a chance to be in the area, I’d love to go there and try the Stamina Don.

Is that Santa Clara, CA 95050?

That's a little too far.

Even getting to Gardena or Torrance can easily take an hour if the freeway is crowded.

Oh, ！ so Menbei moved to the Bay Area, huh? I checked Yelp, and sure enough, the owner is ！

. By the way, if you use Street View to step inside Hakata Ikkosha, it’s actually Menbei （ lol ）
. It brings back so many memories. I used to love their mapo rice and gyoza.

入口のドアに”CLOSESING　September 28, 2026”の張り紙がある写真を見つけました。メッセージは「これまでたくさんのお客様に足を運んでいただき、皆さまとの出会いと、共に過ごした時間に 心から感謝をお伝えしたいと思います。長年にわたりMEN BEI RAMENをご愛顧いただき、 本当にありがとうございました。」との事でした。もしかしてトーレンスに戻ってくるのかな？
