In Japan, people often say, “You can understand a sushi restaurant by tasting its tamago.”

Tamago, sushi omelet, at a sushi bar is like the restaurant’s signature — filled with the chef’s skill, care, and philosophy.

Kuba, our trainee sushi chef is making this everyday now!

Come and taste our tamago yaki for yourself! 😋🍣🍳

見習いシェフのKubaくんは、寿司屋にとってとても大事な玉子を上手に焼けるように頑張ってます。

Japanese film festival 2026 started🌸
So happy to see “Ripples of Physis” is on screen again this year it’s in Chester Beaty Library following the Galway film festival 2025!

When I met Sanae-san, the producer of “Ripples of the Physis” at Irish event in the end of 2024, she was saying that “I want to show my movie in Ireland✨☘️!”
It’s happened twice and audiences in Ireland loved it 🥰

Hope we can have more opportunities to see her movie in Ireland.
Movie is about the pursuit of beauty that humans instinctively perceive as beautiful. The pattern, nature, universe and its connection.

The Japanese film festival just started traveling in Ireland 🇮🇪 🇯🇵
There are some steering in too! Don’t miss it!! 😊

2024年の年末に名古屋でのアイルランド関係のイベントで出会った素敵な女性  #河合早苗 さん
インテリアデザイナーというキャリアを持ちながらも夢を追いかけて映画を作った経緯をお聞きし、「今度はアイルランドで上映したい」という言葉にインスパイアされ、とんとん拍子で実現してしまいました!!✨✨✨

去年はゴールウェイ映画祭で。
今年は日本映画祭の一環として
ダブリン、チェスタービーティライブラリーでの上映でした。

またアイルランドで上映される事を祈っております🙏
見るたびに新たな発見がある、観れば観るほど美しい映画です。

河合さんが京都・唐帳さんの唐紙をきっかけにパターンの美しさについて長年疑問に思っていた事を探究した映画です。
人間が本能的に美しいと思うものとは。

世界一美しい本と称さる「ケルズの書」(ダブリンのトリニティカレッジの所蔵)に出てくるうずまき模様も取り上げられています。

上映はその「ケルズの書」から目と鼻の先にある由緒正しい美術館で日本のコレクションをたくさん所蔵している、チェスタービーティライブラリー。

不思議なご縁に引き寄せられているような感覚。そしてその連続。
またこれから楽しいご縁にも繋がりそうです!

残念ながら今回のアイルランドでの上映は終わってしまいましたが、
また別の機会がある事を祈っています!
アイルランドでの日本映画祭は始まったばかりです!
各地での上映もお楽しみくださいね〜🤗

Last weekend I felt like everything I had done had finally come to fruition after all
🌸 🌸🌸🌸🌸

Was challenging weekend but here is what we accomplished in three days:

"Akumakon🧛‍♀️"
A non profit anime event run by students of the University of Galway.
It has become one of Ireland's most iconic anime events.
The first event in 2011 attracted 200 visitors, and this year it attracted 3,000 people from both Ireland and abroad!
The venue was filled with excitement as both adults and children wore cosplay.
At the closing ceremony, it was announced that 16,000 euros had been raised for charity! Akumakon guys worked very hard!

The Japanese culture corner, presented by Japanese residents, was also a huge success. It was wonderful to see people so excited about Japanese cultural activities.

Also very happy to see everyone eating sushi with Nori so deliciously.

Akumakon became a place meeting new friends as well as old friends. This is great😊😊😊

"Hosting Lunch Meeting for Japanese Ambassador 🇯🇵 🇮🇪 "
Great honored to serve new ambassador Mr&Mrs Miyagawa, Deputy Mayor of Galway & officials from government. 2027 is the 70th anniversary 🇯🇵 🇮🇪
Our Chef Paddy👨‍🍳 made elegant Omakase emphasizing on Irish seafood 🐟 🍣 ✨

"Valentine's Day Dinner 🌹"
It was our busiest day yet. happy to be selected for our customers special day! ♥️
Our happiest WA SUSHI team worked together as one.🥇🎉

"Market 🍣 "
Started working from 5am instead of 7am for this special day. Made over 1000 rolls for this weekend!! Maybe Nana👩‍🍳made half of the rolls 🍣 🤩
Market team did a great job selling despite the hail stone 🌨️💪

I can not mention all of the peoples name here but it was an amazing experience to work with all and achieved such great results👏👏👏👏👏

Tonight, I will allow myself to say, "well done! " with gratitude to everyone who worked with.. we worked hard and grown together and each of us has become professionals and achieved such wonderful results. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🫶
