Obon De Gohan

 

I went to a retaurant called Obon De Gohan which is in Tokyu Square Musashikosugi with my mother and my youngest sister. Tokyu Square is conected to both JR Musashikosugi Station and Toukyu Toyoko Line Musashikosugi Station so it is very easy to access.

The appearence of the retuarant is in gentle japanese cafe style and has a good atmosphere that makes it easy for every one to go inside the restaurant.
The light in the restaurant were very warm and makes the whole place comfortable.My mother liked the chair and table that were simple ad homely which was very comfortable to seat on too.
There were groups of families and old people but mostly there were many ladies .
We went to the restaurant on January 3, that many people were shopping at Tokyu Square for the sale and stuff so it was noisey and a bit crowded.
The reataurant does not have a door and it is not completly separated from the shopping area which made the noise of the crowd louder than the backmusic playing inside the restaurant. Which spoilt the comfortableness.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 




 
















The waiter who sered us was a very nice lady with a great smile and friendliness.But when we wanted our orders to be taken we had to call out 3times till one of them could come by to us.
The restaurant itself is not that very large but because of the crowd and noise was one of the reasons why this happened.

Obon De Gohan has a wide variety of dishes that you can select from. You can choose your main dish from different ranges of categories as

A Video Review

I and my partners were given this video to review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr46II-6Sj4
 
 
・What is focused on in the review?

The video was focused on chinese restaurant and each dishes tastes were been discribed in various kinds of expression. And the review especially forcused on the retaurant and the atmosphear at the first that gives a good impression.

・How does it differ from the written review in the presentation and content?
  What features does it have in common with them?

The video and written review is quite the same in style and what the forcus on. The written review has the chef in it and the video review has the chef introduced too.

・Is the review neutral or partisan?

I think the review is more in a side of partisan.

・Are the chefs,owners,managers, or retaurants staff featured in the video? Do you thinkthis was helpful in proving useful imformation about the restaurantor did it make the restaurant review too baised.

Yes. The chefs , owners and the retaurant staff is featured in the video I thought that it gives us more information of the Restaurant and by knowing thier working sprit and service can be vey attractive.

・Notice weather the voices of the speakers are monotonous or have a pleasing emphasis on certain (key)words and phrases. How does that affect your understanding and enjoyment of it?

Most of them were using the word "thick" for the soup they drunk at shin shin restarunt and they way the discribe the taste of the dish makes it imaginable.

Restaurant Review

Happy New Year!!!!! Hope this year will be a super great year for all of you:)
Its been a long while since my last post:)

Restaurant Review

Me and my other two partners who are Risako and Miyo were given the artical of Dirty French
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/10/dining/restaurant-review-dirty-french-on-the-lower-east-side.html?ref=dining&_r=0

Does the reviewer show any special "insider" knowledge of the chefs or the retaurants's plans for the future?
  
 Yes. Its writen how the chefs named the retaurant and how the chose to anounce it and thier plans of opening more of thier restaurant.

What is the writing style of the review ?
It is writen in flowery language with expressions that are not easy to understand. Reading it made me think that maybe it is more understandable for people who well know the taste of french.

Does the review include a convenient grid so that the reader can see, at a glance, such  facts as the restaurants location, the price range of menu items, wheelchair, accessibility,etc.?
 
Yes it does. The address is written down with categories as
 ATMOSPHERE ,SERVICE ,SOUND LEVEL ,RECOMMENDED,DRINKS AND WINE ,PRICES,OPEN,RESERVATIONS,WHEELCHAIR ACCESS.

・What did you learn about the values of the reviewer and cultural values through this view?

The taste and the apperance and atmosphere were quite on the point  by thereviewer but I could not find the cultural values through it.

・Based on the review , would you and your partner like to try this restaurant? Why or why not?

I would love to try this restaurant because I thought it might be good reading the review of the category I wrote in the third question. And I have never eaten french so I would like to experience the taste of it.

The video I chose related to my Food book "Bulding Houses Out Of Chicken Legs Black Women ,Food & Power" is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMasQn95fvc
Its a recipe of African Chicken stew . The food book I read is a about African American women who
used chicken as  a tool for thier economy freedom and indepedence and other kinds of roles.
So the book is mainly related to chicken ,so I chose a video to show you how in which way in africa they make chicken stew.
