Christmas Trees Are a Big Small Business

Christmas trees are so big business! In last year, about  27-million farm-grown Christmas trees were bought nearly $1-billion by American people. But also this business is small one because it takes more than 15,000 Christmas-tree farms to produce that annual harvest, family-owned businesses with longstanding ties to their land.

I haven't  known this business. But,I thought it's the important business for christmas and also it's diffecult and hard. Maybe I'll image the business when I see christmas tree everytime!

Food project (restaurant review)

"Moriichi" in Jinbocho 
It's a restaurant of sushi boats : kaiten-zushi.
The restaurant is my really favorite one. I have been to there about 30~35 times for 3 years.
This restaurant is the best kaiten-zushi in Jinbocho.

I can say about the restaurant...
1, The atmosphere
    friendly and  relaxing  mood
2, The service
    customers can order sushi anytime, and choose a kind of sushi on a plate. So you can select
    defferent kind of sushi on the plate. If you are student you can get discount 10% when you show student's
    ID.And everybody can get coupon of a cup of misosoup if you answer a questionnaire.
3,Some of the menu
   I recommend you Abocado nigiri and Bintro nigiri. Of  couse everyting is good! please try many kind of
   sushi at the restaurant!
4,The taste, feel, and smell of the food
   A rice ball of sushi is sour , but the rice ball of the shop is more mild than the other one because they use
   red vineger. So It's more match with fishes.
5,The cost and portion sizes
   You can any two pieces of sushi on a plate for 135yen.

I would like to recommend anybody except couples because it doesn't have romantic mood.
