・ Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, consumes a large amount of dumplings. Every year, I have been fighting with Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture.
Hamamatsu City dropped to 2nd place in the purchase price per household of Gyoza announced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications on February 8, and Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture became the first in Japan in 2021. (Hamamatsu Economic Newspaper)
Hamamatsu City was ranked first for three consecutive years from 2014 to 2016, but Utsunomiya was ranked first in 2017 and 2019. In 2020, Hamamatsu returned to the top spot. Both cities have monopolized the 1st and 2nd place for many years, taking the position of "the best city of Gyoza in Japan", but Miyazaki City destroyed its stronghold for the first time.
The Hamamatsu Chamber of Commerce and Industry has created a homepage to promote "Hamamatsu dumplings" to the world.
This site mainly introduces stores where foreigners can eat with peace of mind here in Hamamatsu.
Introduced in 30 languages such as English, French and Chinese. You can also select Tagalog.

・ Recommended to stop traveling to the United States and Japan ... Raised to "Level 4", the highest alert level.
On the 7th, the US Department of State recommended that the US people stop traveling by raising the level of travel alert to Japan, where the infection of the new coronavirus is spreading, to "Level 4", which is the highest of the four levels. Until now, it was "Level 3", which requires a reconsideration of travel.
Click here for comments with many "Good" for this article.
It is good to raise the alert level, but please take proper control of the US military. Too they are not disciplined. It's a sealed place inside the base, so be more careful than any other place. I think the US military in Okinawa is doing it right now, but they don't keep wearing masks. It seems that other restrictions on going out have been lifted, but he is not conscious. I think it is fine to refrain from traveling in Japan, but I would like the guidance of the US Forces Japan.
In addition, I do not want to be called a travel alert level 4 to the United States, which has a large number of infected people. Also, since Japan is not accepting foreigners from overseas at all, "it doesn't hurt or itchy."
・ The Metropolitan Expressway "preventive road closure" is also available after the 10th of the fear of heavy snowfall in the city center.
There is a risk of heavy snowfall in the plains of the Kanto region later this week. The Metropolitan Expressway announced that it may carry out preventive road closures after the 10th.
From early dawn on the 10th to the 11th, there is a risk of heavy snowfall even in the plains of the Kanto region due to the effect of the low pressure system passing through the south side of Honshu.
In response to this, the Metropolitan Expressway announced that there is a possibility of "planned and preventive road closure".
The entrance may be closed even if the road is not closed.
Due to the heavy snow on the 6th of last month, the Metropolitan Expressway was gradually closed to traffic after it began to snow, but the car was stuck for a long time.
Before, when I was working in Yokohama, I went home to Shizuoka with my friends every weekend. In mid-February, it snowed heavily and I was stuck on the Tomei Expressway.
If I leave here around 8 pm, I will arrive in Yokohama around 10 and a half, but on that day, I returned to my apartment around 6 o'clock in the morning.
I think the "preventive road closure" carried out by the Metropolitan Expressway is a necessary measure. Even if you do not close the road, it will be effective if you close the entrance. But why is it the weekend when it snows heavily in the Kanto region every year?
・ This morning, the Manila Shimbun reported on the election of the Vice President, which started yesterday.
