Happy New Year!!
I look forward to having a good relationship with you this year too!

Well, 2022 has started,
I have almost no memories of last year, which went by so quickly (lol)
It happens every year, but each year seems to go by faster.
I'm sure this year will end with no memories left.

Aside from that,
I got to spend this New Year's holiday with my sister and her family for the first time in a while.
This is a special New Year's holiday where we will spend time together in Hiroshima for the first time in over ten years.
This is the first time the children have been together for New Year's.
Last year we couldn't be together due to the influence of Corona,
I have a lot of thoughts in mind.

After all, it's good to have a lively time with your family,
For us, being with my sister's family, which is rich in diversity, is
It's both fun and educational.

However,
My sister's family is Muslim, so
Not only lifestyle habits but also eating habits that everyone knows are very different.
I had some understanding since I lived in Tokyo,
It's not that surprising or difficult, but
However, it is really difficult to find food in rural areas rather than Tokyo.

Pork and alcohol are completely forbidden in Islam.
I think many people learned about it from TV, the Olympics, SDG'S, etc.
To put it more precisely, the place where beef and chicken are produced (strictly speaking, the method of butchering),
There may also be things like seasonings.

In Tokyo, there are many foreigners, so there are many specialty food stores.
As expected, there aren't that many in the region.
So, although we check the ingredients ourselves and choose the ingredients,
Since it's New Year's Day, it's natural that most of the beef is domestically produced.
It is difficult to find meat that Muslims can eat.
Well, it's really a relief that something happened.
Maybe thanks to Allah?

Despite such hardships,
Being blessed with the opportunity to learn things I didn't know,
It also means that there is personal growth.
However, in recent years, you can find out most things by searching on Google.

So,
A halal okonomiyaki restaurant that I'm really happy to have been open since the beginning of the year.
There is a shop called “Origami” near Chuden-mae in Hiroshima.
We also do regular okonomiyaki,
A valuable shop that also serves okonomiyaki using Halal-certified ingredients.
There is a surprisingly unknown fact that ``Utensils used to cook pork are also not good.''
At this restaurant, the food is cooked separately on the iron plate.
It was a huge help!

My sister's family is satisfied and so are we.
Pork okonomiyaki is also good,
Okonomiyaki made with chicken is also surprisingly surprising.
I also discovered that I might like this one better.

We started with a feeling that 2022 will be a year of further growth.
Let's do our best this year too!!
