Happy Chinese New Year!



そして2月といえば、日本では節分ですね。

節分と言えば、豆まき。
そして、炒った大豆を自分の歳の数だけ食べる。

炒った大豆って、香ばしくて美味しいですよね。

子供の頃は、もっと食べたくって、早く大人になりたいと思ったものです。



And also, it is "Setsubun" which is a New Year in "Old Calendar" in Japan.

In Japan, people throw Roasted Soy Beans against Devil to sweep away bad spirits.
Then, they eat as many Soy Beans as the number of their age.

You know, Roasted Soy Beans are quite tasty with full of flavour!

When they are kids, they wish if they were older as they want to eat more. 




冬の夜長を、編み物あみあみ過ごすピータン。

ピータン、なかなか多趣味なのよ


Long winder nights are time for knitting.

Pidans have quite a lot of hobbies which keep them busy.

PANKICHI-KEN 24 : Life as a Managing Director





ぱん吉軒の常連、社長。
今日もほろ酔いでおやすみ中。
まあ、いつもの事ですな。

でも今日は、ちょっといつもと違うことが起こります。
今日我々は、社長の生活を垣間見る事になるのです。


Shacho-san (AKA Managing Director),
who is one of regular customers at PANKICHI-KEN,
is tipsy and sleepy as usual.

But, something which is not as usual will happen today...
Today, we are going to have a glimpse of how the life of MD should be.. 
Let go and have a look what will happen at Pidan Odyssey!

PANKICHI-KEN 23 : Means of Delivery - 2




 あれ以来、ぱん吉軒の事がまだまだ気になる警官ホリ。
今日も元気にピータン横丁を巡回中。
でもやっぱりぱん吉軒が気になるのを、ついつい前を通ってしまうのです。
今日は、出前に出かけるシュウくんと鉢合わせしました。
Police Constable Hori is patrolling Pidan Alley.
Since his first encounter with Pankichi, he cannot get rid of
Pankichi-ken from his mind.
Without knowing himself, he found himself in front of Pankichi-ken.
There, he bumped into Shu-kun, who has just left the restaurant for a delivery....
On foot.
Why on foot?

PANKICHI-KEN 21 : Shu-kun's hat - 2



ぱん吉軒の見習いギョーザ職人、シュウくんのシューマイ帽。
の上にのってる丸いものが、みんな気になってしょうがない。

 ある日みんなでさわってみたら、けっこうフツウ。
でも、シュウくんはそうは思っていないようです。



An apprentice Gyoza-Dumpling maker at Pankichi-Ken, Shu-kun
is always wearing a "Shumai Hat", which has something round on the top, 
which everybody at Pankichi-ken is so curious about.

One day, the colleagues at Pankichi-ken gathered and tried touching it,
and found it out to be quite mediocre...
However, it seems Shu-kun strongly believes otherwise...

2019年。明けましておめでとうございます~!



明けましておめでとうございます。
今年もピータンをよろしくお願いいたします。
2019年、イノシシ年早々、ピータンはうり坊と友達になったよ!
それにしても、ってカワイイなあ。
  
A Happy New Year to you all!
2019 is a year of wild boar.
Pidan has made friends with a "Uri-Bo", which is a wild boar piglet.
He is so cute, isn't he?


そして皆で、初日の出にお祈り。
今年の初日の出はつるっとしていてピータンっぽいなあ。


Let's go to see the first sunrise of the year and make a wish!
Pidan's feel vaguely familiar with the sunrise.. 
It has certain resemblance to Pidans, doesn't it?
