baby

Our baby is due on October 3rd, so we will be going to the hospital soon. If you are coming to TeDe, please call to make sure that we are here.

Fall is here!

There are signs of fall in the garden. This is a kind of chestnut. It is called kuri in Japanese. These trees grow naturally all around this area, when the nuts are ready the prickly outside opens up and the kuri nuts fall to the ground. We can hear them popping out of the trees throughout the day. It really makes me feel that fall is here.

Kagura

Last night we went to the shrine in our village to see the Kagura festival. Everyone gathers around the shrine to watch the dancers act out ancient stories through dance and music. There is no speaking or singing. The music is a steady rhythmic drumming and a flute. It is quite a special event. We are so lucky we can just walk down the street to see it.

New Cafe Menu

We have changed the style of the menu in the cafe! Instead of having the same menu every week, we are trying a more spontaneous approach. We added a few new items for this weekend, such as open faced sandwiches, pumpkin soup and homemade ginger ale. We will be trying lots of different dishes throughout the year and will only make food from the old menu occasionally. I am hoping that everyone will enjoy a little more variety in the cafe. Please come visit soon!

tommy guerrero

Hi there. This is Tetsushi. Kristina is usually in charge of the English blog, but since I am the only one who went to the live, I decided to write.
I went to Tommy Guerrero's live in Fukuoka last night. I would never guess that I would see him in Japan. The opening band was terrible and I hated every second of it, but Tommy Guerrero was awesome! It was definitely better than listening to the CD. He played for about two hours. In the end, it was a great live.

2 New T-Shirt Designs

We printed some new t-shirts and ecobags today just in time for the weekend. We will keep working on new designs for this fall and little by little we will put them in the gallery. We hope you can visit soon!

We are making a couple of new t-shirt designs. We tried something different this time and are playing with text. I am looking forward to seeing how the final product turns out.
