Hanshin Tigers Lost the Game against Swallows, Again

At Jingu Stadium, Shohei Tateyama gave up four hits in eight innings and marked his winning streak at 10 since last August. When Swallows' Chang Yong Lim closed the game for his 13th save of the season, the score was Swallows 4 and Tigers 1. Tateyama(4-0) struck out just five Tigers that night, few numbers per game for him; but, he allowed just one run over those innings to get a win. He was not good at his control, surrendered four walks; however, Tigers' horrible offense could not give enough support for their starter Shinobu Fukuhara. Fukuhara(2-3) pitched five and plus strong innings, but he gave up two homeruns and got a loss.

Stadium Food:

Tako Kara(Fried Octopus)

Soki-Don(Okinawa Style Pork over Rice)

館山は制球に苦しみ、むしろ福原の方が良いくらいでした。しかし、阪神のまずい攻めが多々ありスワローズが勝ちました。スワローズの林は完璧な抑えで１３セーブ目。

Omotesando Niigata-Kan N'ESPACE 表参道・新潟館

When you think about Omotesando/Harajuku area, you may think about cool places. For example, night clubs, bars, restaurants, and expensive stores. Since Omotesando Hills were opened, Omotesando has become the hottest place in Tokyo. When I think about Omotesando, I think about Niigata Prefecture. Right behind of Omotesando Hills, there's Niigata's Antenna shop "Omotesando Niigata-Kan N'ESPACE." The 1st floor of the shop is selling Niigata's foods and special products. Niigata is really famous for Sake. They have a lot of good stock of them. Please check their website at http://www.nico.or.jp/nespace/
The B1 floor is their reastaurant "Syoku Raku En." It is really good restaurant with Omotesando/Minami Aoyama atomosphere. I've only been there for lunches; but, the restaurant has a really good mood in there. The Entire room is lighted really sofetly with Jazz music. It is really good for a date.
Mochi Buta Hamburg Zen(もち豚ハンバーグ膳)
Anyway, the Niigata born ingredients are used for the foods in there. I had a Pork Hamburg Lunch(Mochi Buta Hamburg Zen) . The pork, which is really great, is from Niigata. The pork's called Echigo Mochi buta. I drank a litlle bit of Koshi no Kagetora(Sake). As I said earlier, Niigata is really famous for sake. Sake is made from Rice. Many people admit that Niigata has the best brands in rice. That may be the reason their 100% rice sake is really fruity. I also ordered a bottle of Echigo beer, Niigata's Local brand beer, too. I really feel happy when I can eat and drink local brands in a restaurant like Syoku Raku En. I was really happy when I found the Niigata brand beer in the menu.
Echigo Beer Yuuki Saibai Premium（越後ビール有機栽培プレミアム）
Niigata has a famous brand for Tofu. It's Echigo Tofu. The Lunch has a Echigo Dofu menu for "Echigo Dofu Steak Zen." It's really healthy and great.
Echigo Dofu Steak Zen(越後豆腐ステーキ膳）
When you heard that Niigata has local brand pork, you need to try pork Cutlet. "Mochi Buta Tonkatsu Zen" is really great pork cutlet lunch. If you wanna know more about Syoku Raku En, please go to their website at http://niigata-shokurakuen.com/ They have a really great point card system. You can save money with the certain points.
Mochi Buta Tonkatsu Zen（もち豚とんかつ膳）
N'ESPACE has a one more restaurant "Seikouan." Seikouan, operated by Niigata Grand Hotel, is more luxualy(still sounds reasonable price) Japanese (Niigata) restraurant. You can check them out at http://www.nico.or.jp/nespace/tenpo_3.html
表参道や原宿と いうと何を思い浮かべますか？表参道ヒルズがオープンして以降、東京で最もお洒落になったこのエリア。高級ブティック、お洒落なレストランやバー、クラブとかを想像すると思います。けれど、自分の場合は表参道をイメージすれば、何と言っても新潟県です。表参道ヒルズの真裏に新潟県のアンテナショップ表参道新潟館ネスパスがあります。1階では新潟の食材、酒、物産品が販売されています。http://www.nico.or.jp/nespace/
Souveniors from N'ESPACE(ネスパスで買ったお土産）
地下には、レストラン食楽園があります。食楽園は新潟の食材を使ったものを食べさせてくれます。ランチにしか行った事がないのですが、とってもお洒落なお店です。ジャズが流れる店内の照明は落としぎみで、とっても表参道・南青山な雰囲気を醸し出しています。デートにとっても良い所だと思います。
さて、自分が頼んだのはもち豚ハンバーグ膳。新潟名産の越後もち豚がとってもおいしいです。越後ビールの有機栽培プレミアムを一本頼み、越の影虎特別純米酒を少し味わいました。地元の食材はもちろん、地ビールとか地酒とかが食楽園のようなレストランで楽しめるのはありがたいことですね。越後ビールをメニューで見つけたときは、ホントに幸せでした。
越後豆腐を使った越後豆腐ステーキ膳もヘルシーでとってもおいしいです。
豚肉といえば、何と言ってもカツですね。もち豚とんかつ膳はとってもおいしいです。食楽園のホームページはhttp://niigata-shokurakuen.com/ 食楽園にはすごくお得なポイントカードがあります。あっ、と言う間にポイントが貯まってしまい、節約できます。
ネスパスは新潟グランドホテルの経営する静香庵という会席料理などの高級な日本料理(それでも良心的な価格設定だと思います）レストランもあります。http://www.nico.or.jp/nespace/tenpo_3.html

Lunch at Hiroshima Yume Terrace Kansuitei 歓粋亭

Kansuitei IS my most favorite restaurant. It is located inside of Hiroshima Yume Terrace at Shinjuku Southern Terrace(near Shinjuku Station). Hiroshima Yume Terrace is Hiroshima Prefecture's Antenna Shop. Great place. I mean, really GREAT! I must tell you. I have nothing to do with that prefecture. I've never even been there; however, I've fallen in love with the taste of Hiroshima right after I ate at that restaurant. Their Hiroshima cuisine(food) is really great. I go there to eat at least once a month. I went there to eat lunch with six people yesterday. Their target's Hiroshima Oyster.
Kaki Furai Teisyoku(Fried Oyster Lunch) カキフライ定食
Hiroshima is famous for many sea foods. Their Oyster is really famous. All people, I went to with, ordered Kaki Furai Teisyoku(Fried Oyster Lunch). All of them says Hiroshima's Oyster's really great.
Hiroshima Okonomiyaki Ikaten Nose 広島風お好み焼きいか天のせ
I ordered Hiroshima Okonomiyaki Ikaten Nose. Okonommiyaki is another popular food from Hiroshima. This Okonomiyaki's really great too. I ordered a lunch beer too. I can order first lunch beer for a 100yen($1.00-) with one lunch. Kansuitei's beer is Kirin Ichiban Shibori; but, it's a special one. It IS brewed in Hiroshima!! That's amazing!! Please check their website at http://www.pref.hiroshima.lg.jp/tokyo/index.htm
歓粋亭が自分の一番好きなレストランですね。歓粋亭は広島県のアンテナショップ、広島ゆめてらすのレストランです。広島ゆめてらすは、新宿駅南口の前にある新宿サザンテラスにあります。自分はここが大好きなので、最低でも月に1回は行きます。ホントに素晴らしい所です。自分は広島県と何もかかわりは無いんですけどね。行ったこともないですし。けれど、歓粋亭で食事をした瞬間に広島県の味に恋しました。広島料理も広島の食材も最高です。
さて、今回は知人6人とランチに行ったのですが、その全員がカキフライ定食を注文し、おいしいおいしいと言いながら食べてました。自分は広島風お好み焼きいか天のせをおいしく頂きました。後、自分はキリン一番搾りを飲みました。ランチビールはランチ一つにつき最初の一杯が100円で飲めます。この一搾（one shiboと読む）がこの店で飲める特別なビールなんです。なんと、この一搾は広島県産なんです！！広島産に対するこの店のこだわりにはいつも感動します！！広島ゆめてらすおよび歓粋亭のウェブはhttp://www.pref.hiroshima.lg.jp/tokyo/index.htm　をチェックしてみてください。

Kagoshima's Antenna Shop(かごしま遊楽館）

Antenna Shop is the place, where a Prefectual Government promotes itself; such as, tourism, traditional crafts, foods, special products, and business opportunities(for both indiviuals and companies). Most of prefectures have their Antenna Shop in Syutoken(Tokyo and its surrrounded Prefectures). Yesterday, I went to Kagoshima Prefecture's antenna shop(Kagoshima Yuurakukan) at Yurakucho to eat lunch. Yurakucho and its surrounded area have many many antenna shops from various prefetcures. Some of Antenna Shop have a restaurant in them. Kagoshima's has a one too. It's called Ichi Nii San(いちにぃさん).
Kuro Buta Bara no Katsudon Set(黒豚バラのカツ丼セット）
I ordered Kuro Buta Bara no Katsudon Set(Kagoshima Barkshire Pork's Pork Cutlet Bowl), Jidori no Sumimibiyaki(BBQ'd Satsuma Local Chicken), Ikkomon with Soda. Ikkomon(一刻者) is the brand of Satsuma Shochu(hard liquor). Barkshire Pork's Cutlet is very delicious.
Buta Miso(Pork Miso). This tableware is actually a chopstick rest(箸置きと豚みそ).
This restaurant's chopstick rest is really cool. It's big enough to put some Buta Miso(Pork Miso). A chopstick rest should be small. This chopstick rest is not too big; but, it can be put some food on it.
Jidori no Sumibiyaki(地鶏の炭火焼き）

After the lunch, I went to a shop corner and got some Kagoshima foods(picture below) for a gift. If you wanna know more about Yurakukan, please go to thier website at http://www3.pref.kagoshima.jp/foreign/english/profile/gaiyou/yurakukan_main.htmlFrom L to R, Hana Katsuo(Bonito Falkes), Kogane Miso, and candy

アンテナショップは、各県政府が首都圏で開いているお店の事です。メインは各々の県のプロモーションです。就職や企業誘致から観光・伝統工芸・特産品・料理まで、様々な県の自慢を提供するのがアンテナショップです。いくつかの県のアンテナショップには、レストランが併設されています。昨日は有楽町にある鹿児島県のアンテナショップ、日比谷シャンテ・シネのすぐ目の前にあるかごしま遊楽館にランチを食べに行ってきました。ちなみに、有楽町およびその周辺はたくさんのアンテナショップがあります。今回は、いちにぃさんという鹿児島の食材を使った店で黒豚バラのカツ丼セットと地鶏の炭火焼きをいただきました。地ビールが見当たらなかったので、薩摩焼酎一刻者のソーダ割りをドリンクに頼みました。箸置きの中に、生まれて初めて見る豚みそが出てきたのはかっこ良かったです。鹿児島の黒豚、あっぱれというぐらいにおいしかったです。帰りにお土産として、はなかつお・こがねみそ（麦みそ）・アメをショップで買いました。かごしま遊楽館のウェブはhttp://www.pref.kagoshima.jp/yurakukan/index.html

Lions is the Asia Champion for '08

The Saitama Seibu Lions crinched their first Asia Series title yesterday with Tomoaki Satoh' s game winning single in the bottom of the ninth inning to beat Taiwan's Uni Lions. The final score was 1-0. Hideaki Wakui pitched 6 and 2/3 strong innings. Home Plate umpire, whom from KBO, ruled many calls for a favor to Japan's Saitama Seibu Lions. In the bottom of the ninth inning, he didn't call a strike at the at bat of Yoshihito Ishii when it looked like the inning ending strike out ball. After that, Ishii got a walk; then, he scored the game winning run from the first base.

When and the after the ceremony, both Lions teams greeted each other. It was a really good scene. Taiwan's Lions got a many cheer and a standing ovation from even the Japanese Lions fans in the Tokyo Dome. That was really good emotional feeling. I believe the Asia Series is really great international event. I think the Ashia Series is an more important international event than tax money wasting Olympics.

Cheese Dogs & Mentai Mayo Dog(明太マヨドッグ）

Yakitori(Grilled Chicken Stick)

9回裏の石井義人の一塁からの激走で、埼玉西武ライオンズが決勝で台湾の統一ライオンズを１－０で下し、アジアシリーズ・チャンピオンになりました。この日は涌井が先発。6回3分の2を好投しました。この日の主審は韓国リーグの審判が勤めたのですが、終始日本よりの判定をしてました。9回裏の石井義人の打席でもあきらかにストライクのところをボールと判定。結果的に、これが勝敗の行方を左右しました。それでも、素晴らしいゲームだったことに違いはありません。試合終了後のセレモニーでは、両チームの健闘に対しドーム中のファンから温かい拍手が送られました。優勝した日本のライオンズに送られた声援はもちろん、敗れはしたものの善戦した台湾チームに送られた拍手にも感動しました。アジア・シリーズって、非常に素晴らしい国際大会だと思いました。アジア・シリーズが東京にはあるから、税金無駄使いのオリンピックなんか東京にいらねぇよ！と、思いました。

Lazy Day & Late Night Yose at Shinjuku Suehirotei

I had done nothing yesterday. I did nothing. I tried to have no stress for a day. And, I did it!! I ordered the Hot Hokkaido Potato Gratin Pizza from PIZZA-LA. I love pizzas. I also love cheese and gratin. It was really good combination of cheese and gratin. Some of Pizzas in Japan uses Mayonnaise for the Pizza sauce. This is one of them. It's really good for me. I think I can say that the pizzas with Mayo is Japanese Style Pizza.

Outside of Shinjuku Suehirotei

At the night, I went to "Rakugo” at the Shinjuku Seuehirotei. Every saturday night from 9:30-11:00 p.m., there's "Shinya-Yose" at there. You can watch Rakugo, traditional Japanese verbal entertainment show, for just only 500yen($5-). You can usually watch & hear 4 stories at the night. Rakugo-ka(lone story tellar), who gives a performance at the "Shinya-Yose" is considered as a younger, unexperienced, or not famous. Even though they are not that famous, it means nothing to me. Some of them are really great. They give me good laugh. Rakugo has two story types. They are "Koten Rakugo," or "Shinsaku Rakugo." "Koten Rakugo" is a traditional story, which is even from Edo Period (400 years ago). "Shinsaku Rakugo" is a new and original story, which written by the Rakugo-ka. Tonight's Hayashiya Kikumaro did a really great "Shinsaku Rakugo." It was about un-lawful bicycle parking in Setagaya ward. That's really funny. Katsura Saishi's "Koten Rakugo" about beautiful women make three men cry in their lives was good one too.

Inside of Shinjuku Suehirotei

After the Rakugo, I usually go to Japanese style standing bar. Suehirotei locates at the area(Shinjuku 3cho-me), which consists of many kinds of bar especially famous for standing bar. I had a glass of beer and a dish of pork oden(picture below).

Pork Oden

昨日は、久々に何もしませんでした。ホント,意識してストレスなしで過した一日でした。ピザーラからあつあつ北海道ポテトのグラタンピザを注文しました。ピザが大好物なうえに、チーズもグラタンも大好きな僕には最高の組み合わせでした。このピザのソースはマヨネーズソースですが、これは日本のピザにしかないソースだと思います。

夜は、新宿末広亭で深夜寄席を見ました。深夜寄席は毎週土曜日の夜9時半から11時まで行われていて、木戸銭わずか500円で4つの落語が聞けます（稀に内ひとつが講談の時も）。自分は落語について詳しくはありませんが、とても楽しいものだと思います。深夜寄席に登場するのは二つ目にあたる落語家のようで、いわゆる有名でなく機会に恵まれない若手ですかね。けれど、真打もいいですけど、噺家がおもしろいかどうかに家柄や階級は関係ないわけで、二つ目でも良いものは良いです。昨夜は、古今亭ちよりん（女性）、桂才紫、林家きく麿、柳家右太楼の4人でした。桂才紫の古典落語も良かったですが、何と言っても林家きく麿の新作落語が可笑しかったですね。タイトルは分かりませんが、世田谷区の違法駐輪自転車の管理に関わる人たちというおバカな内容で笑いっぱなしでした。古典落語も大切ですが、こういう新作落語ももっともっと評価されないとダメですね。

末広亭は新宿三丁目に位置していて、このエリアは居酒屋やバー、特に立ち飲み屋が多いエリアです。深夜寄席が終わった後は、立ち飲み屋で一杯飲んで帰るようにしているのですが、今回はビール一杯と豚肉のおでんを食べて帰りました。立ち飲み屋の良い所は安くておいしいところで、プレミアム・モルツがグラス一杯400円。それにおでんの盛り合わせも400円でした。安くておいしいんだから、もっと食べて飲んでも良かったなと思いつつ、食べすぎ飲みすぎも体に悪いのですぐに帰りました。

Kishi Got a Win in a Asia Series Game

Since his complete game shout out in Japan Series, Takayuki Kishi has been established himself as one of Japan' s top pitcher. To me, he ranks as same pitcher as Darvish Yu. Last night, he pitched another great ball game for the Saitama Seibu Lions. He allowed just five hits and one earned run in eight strong innings against Taiwan's Uni Lions at the Tokyo Dome. Saitama Seibu beat Uni 2-1.

Takayuki Kishi
I watched this game from the back of the Home Plate at the Upper Seat. It was part of the General Admission(2,000yen). It's really great view with good seats. You can even find out what kinds of pitches a pitcher throws. This area has a steep slope. That may make you little bit scary at first; but, you'll be ok after an inning. This area is actually Season Ticket Holder Seats for the Giants Game. Unless you're Season Ticket Holder, you cannot watch the game from there. It's cheap during the Asia Series; so, I recommend this area for watch the series.

Cheese Dog
I ate two kinds of Hot Dogs last night. I believe the Cheese Dog(420yen) is the best food in Tokyo Dome. Concession foods in Tokyo Dome are not that good; however, their Hot Dogs are different story. While Yokohama Stadium's Bay Dog uses Wisconsin's Johnsonville Sausage(The Best Sausage Brand in the World), Tokyo Dome's Cheese Dog is really good. Even though Tokyo Dome's Sausage is not Johnsonville, its melting cheese makes this stadium's dog really special. I also ate the Dog with chopped and grilled onions and Hunny Masterd on it(440yen).

Pari Pari Onion To Hunny Masturd Dog (Chopped & Grilled Onion with Hunny Masturd on the Dog)

日本シリーズでの完封以来、埼玉西武ライオンズの岸は日本のトップ・クラスのピッチャーになったと言ってもいいのではないでしょうか。ファイターズのダルビッシュと並び称されるべき投手になったと思います。アジアシリーズでの初先発となった統一ライオンズ戦でも1点は失ったものの、抜群の安定感で勝利投手になりました。

この日は自由席券を購入し、2階席のバックネット裏で見ました。なかなか見ごたえのある良い席です。投手の球種が良く分かるし。ただ、前の方だとちょっと傾斜がキツイのが最初は怖いですが、慣れれば平気になります。この席は巨人戦だと年間予約席なので、なかなかチケットを手に入れる機会がない所です。アジアシリーズでは2,000円と比較的安い値段設定なので、お勧めの席です。

今日のスタジアム・フードは東京ドームでは一番おいしいチーズ・ドッグ（420円）。それにパリパリオニオンとハニーマスタード・ドッグ（440円）です。

Swallows vs Carp

Ken Takahashi couldn't hold three runs lead, and the Carp lost the fifth straight games on Sunday. On the other hand, Swallows won the forth straight games. It was Yukata( Japanese traditional summer cloth) Night and the Fire Works Night at the Jingu stadium. There were a lot of people out there. It was cool to ware Yukata on hot summer night. It was really fun to watch Hanabi.

Fire Works(Hanabi)

Yakisoba(Fried Noodles) & Tokyo Raamen(Tokyo Style Raamen Noodle)

French Fries & Miyazaki Ji-Dori (Grilled Miyazaki Chiken)

昨日は浴衣DAYと花火ナイターって事で神宮球場に行ってきました。浴衣を着るのは幼稚園以来でしたがいいっすねぇ。日本の夏でした。いつもの通り、食べ物もたくさん満喫しました。

Chiba Marine Stadium

After the Lions and Eagles game on Saturday, I actually went to Chiba Marine Stadium to see the game between Hawks and Marines. My friends kindly offered me a ticket to see the game with them; however, I arrived at the stadium around 8pm. It was fifth inning. That was the first time I came to that stadium since 1998. I am surprised that it had huge crowd that evening. I'd tried to buy some foods from concessions; but, either I had to wait really long lines, or they were out of stock. Although I really wanted to eat Philly Cheese Stake, one of my favorite, they are sold out. I also couldn't get foods from concession stands at the Seibu Dome 'cause of the long lines and I didn't wanna miss a thing. I've learned that if I want to enjoy foods from the stadiums, I really need to get there early.I got a cup of beer, cheese ball, and Yoshihisa Naruse's recommended Marine Dog, which doesn't contain any sea stuff. They use Marines original designed cups for foods and drinks. I believe it is not that usual in the Japanese ballpark. The desings of cups were so cool that they would be collectable items. 　

Marine Dog recommended by Naruse

A cup of Cheese BallsA cup of Beer

I saw really unusual things. Benny Agbayani hit two triples in that game.

心優しい友人のカップルが招待してくれていたので、土曜の昼に所沢でデー・ゲームを観戦した後に千葉マリンスタジアムに行きました。マリンスタジアムは落合の現役最終試合を見て以来でした。ライオンズの試合が終わったのが17：30頃で、そこから１８：００開始のマリーンズ戦に行ったので、球場に着いたのは２０：００頃でした。球場の食べ物がほとんど売り切れか長い行列に並ばなければならなかったので、あまり買えませんでした。それでも上の写真にある成瀬推薦のマリンドッグ、もちもちチーズ（とかいう名前のと）、ビールを買いました。マリーンズ使用の容器はおみやげに持って帰りたいくらいかっこいいと思いました。

Enjoy Saitama! Onsen (Hot Spring) and Lions Baseball (Seibu Dome Food)

Yesterday, I went to Chichibu(west part of Saitama Prefecture) to go to Onsen(hot spring). I went to Bukou Onsen, near Yokoze Station of Seibu Chichibu Line. It was really nice.
Entrance of the Bukou Onsen(Chichibu, Saitama)
I left the Onsen early than I wanted 'cause I wanted to see Lions vs Swallows game at Seibu Dome(Tokorozawa, Saitama). It was the first '08 Inter League game for Lions. Lions have some promotions for Inter League games. They have Inter League only Jersey. At the Dome, Concessions have Inter League only menus. That's my target for today's game other than Kaz Ishii pitched for the Lions.

Kyuukyoku no Kuro Buta-Don(Pork Bowl)
The pork of this bowl is raised in Saitama. Its rice is blended 50 brands of rice(Can you tell what kinds of rice they are using by just watching the right side picture?). The Saitama Pork is really tasty. I wasn't sure about blended brands' rice; but, this one was really good. I just didn't know blended brands' rice could be good as this one before. You can eat this during Inter League only, and it's limited for only 30 serves per game.

Pork Stick(Buta Kushi Yaki)
This one is really nice baked pork. You can eat this entire season.

I also ate Katsu-Jyuu(Pork Cutlet Bowl) , Tori Kara-Age(Fried Chicken), and Frankfurt Sausage(Sausage Stick). All of them are really great, as always at the Seibu Dome. But, I really ate too much. Two rice Bowls and three other Tsumami(Side Dishes) for a game were too much for me, they were great taste though.

I was so amazed by the home run of Craig Brazell to tie the game in the 5th; but, Lions lost the game after Chikara Onodera gave up a run in the 6th.

今日は埼玉を満喫しました！秩父で温泉に入った後、所沢でライオンズの試合を観戦。交流戦限定メニューの究極の黒豚丼を筆頭に、球場フードもおいしかった！この日は豚づくしって感じで、黒豚丼の他に豚串焼き、熱れつ亭のかつ重、フランクフルトを食べました。豚以外には、熱れつ亭のから揚げを食べました。ライオンズが負けたのは残念だったけど、最高の一日でした。

Lions Classic

Wow! Saitama Seibu Lions will have special promotion for this summer. It's Asahi Super Dry Lions Classic. It's a basically tribute ivent for then Nishitetsu Lions. Nishitetsu Lions was old Japanese baseball team located in Fukuoka. Their prime was in the 1950's. Lions web site says they will sell special goods such as uniforms and caps. A uniform Jersey for this summer is so cool. You can check it at the Lions web site at http://www.seibulions.jp/expansion/lions_classic/index.php They will also sell special tickets. A special ticket will be including a souvenior (ex a Nike uniform jersey) with unbelievably low price. Seibu Dome will also have special foods. Please check the web site above for more information.

埼玉西武ライオンズが西鉄ライオンズ時代の歴史を振り返るイベントをやるそうです。かっこいい復刻ユニとかのグッズ販売とか限定フードとかあるみたいです。楽しみです。

Swallows against Dragons at the Jingu Stadium May 15, 2008

Daniel Rios, warming up in the bullpen at the Jingu Stadium

Daniel Rios pitched for Swallows that day. I saw him for the first time. He pitched really strong first inning with three Ks; but, he lost the game. Even though he pitched good (just gave up two runs), that's enough for the Dragons. Masa Yamamoto of the Dragons recorded 3,000 innings pitched for his carrer when he left the game.

If you wanna enjoy stadium foods at the Jingu Staium, I really and strongly recommend you to go to out field area.

ダニエル・リオスが好投したものの、山本昌が自身の通算３，０００投球回数を勝利で飾りました。
