Yokohama Ie-kei ramen

With the opening of "Yoshimuraya" in Yokohama in 1974, Yokohamaya type of ramen became known in Kanagawa prefecture and later on the whole of Japan. Pork bone soy sauce broth (including chicken) that is boiled for long hours with plenty of chiyu (chicken oil) added is one of its unique characteristics. You can also customize the ramen according to your preferences such as more flavor, more oil and firm noodles, with the basic 3 pieces of laver, spinach and pork slices. The most common thick noodles come from "Sakai noodles" manufacturer, but many shops also use noodles from "Ohashi noodles", "Maruyama noodles" and "Marutomi noodles". The number of disciples of "Yoshimuraya" owner, Yoshimura Minoru who have succeeded the shop's authentic taste exceeds 300, and the main branch of "Yoshimuraya" has an average of 1500 customers waiting in line daily. There are 8 shops that are formally recognised as having the same lineage, namely "Sugitaya", "Hajimeya", "Kanniya", "Oodoya", "Matsuriya", "Yokoyokoya", "Takamatsuya" and "Atsugiya" .

LIPOVITAN FINE NEW CM! 井上真央

青空広がる清々しい休日。こんな日に家をまるごと洗ったら、さぞ気持ちいいだろうと閃いた井上真央さん。
愛犬達とともに、元気におそうじを開始します。
さわやかな太陽を浴びながら、バケツで水撒き、ブラシでゴシゴシ。そんな元気で楽しく、
思う存分におそうじを楽しむ井上真央さんを通じて、リポビタンファインが持つ明るい元気を表現しました。

デッキをブラシで明るく元気に磨くカット。
うれしそうな表情を浮かべ、シャーッシャーッと
ブラシのこすれる音でリズムをとってみたり、
デッキ中を元気に駆け回るちょっとおちゃめな

井上真央さんでした。

撮影の合間、井上真央さんは共演者のウィンディ、
ガジローと楽しそうに遊んでいました。
積極的に井上真央さんと遊ぶウィンディを、
少し遠くから羨ましそうに見るシャイなガジロー。
雲ひとつない青空の下、井上真央さんのおそうじを
手伝えて（？）ごきげんな二匹でした。
                                           

井上真央さんが屋根の上からバケツで元気に
水を撒くカット。あたたかな太陽と、
肌をそよそよと撫でる潮風を感じながら、
さわやかな笑顔でバケツを構えます。
屋根の上でも動じることなく、むしろ元気
いっぱいに水を撒く井上真央さんでした。

Hearts Desire Surprise Inside Cake

INGREDIENTS (8 servings )

For the recipe Hearts Desire Surprise Inside Cake
For the Heart:
Dr. Oetker Cake Release Spray
125 g Margarine (4 ½ oz) softened
125 g Caster Sugar (4 ½ oz)
Medium Eggs x 2
200 g Plain Flour (7 oz)
10 g Dr. Oetker Baking Powder (2 tsp)
Dr. Oetker Bright Red Gel Food Colour
For the chocolate cake:
115 g Margarine (4 oz)
115 g Caster Sugar (4 oz)
Medium Eggs x 2, beaten
5 ml Dr. Oetker Madagascan Vanilla Extract (1 tsp)
100 g Plain Flour (3 ½ oz)
25 g Cocoa Powder (1 oz)
5 g Dr. Oetker Baking Powder (1 tsp)
For the Decoration:
75 g Dr. Oetker Fine Cooks Dark Chocolate (3 oz)
40 g Unsalted Butter (2 ½ oz)
PROCEDURE

1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C Fan, Gas Mark 4). Lightly spray a 7cm (2 ¾ inch) deep, 450g (1lb) loaf tin with Cake Release Spray. To make the heart centre; Put the margarine in a bowl with the caster sugar and eggs. Sieve the flour and Baking Powder on top. Carefully mix all the ingredients together then whisk for a few seconds until well blended.

2
Mix in sufficient Red Gel Food Colour to make a vibrant shade (you will need approx. 90 drops), and spoon into the loaf tin. Smooth the top and bake for about 1 hour until risen and firm to the touch – a skewer inserted into the centre should come out clean. Cool for 5 minutes, before turning on to a wire rack to cool completely.

3
Put the cold loaf cake on a board and slice off both crusty ends. Cut the loaf into 7 slices. Using a 7.5cm (3inch) wide heart shaped cutter, cut out 1 heart from each slice – keep all the trimmings for cake pops or truffles. Place on a tray lined with baking parchment and freeze the hearts for 30 minutes.
4
For the chocolate cake, wash out the loaf tin and re-apply Cake Release Spray. Put the margarine in a bowl with the caster sugar, eggs and Vanilla. Sieve the flour, cocoa and Baking Powder on top. Carefully mix all the ingredients together then whisk for a few seconds until well blended.

5
Thickly spread some of the cake mixture over the bottom and sides of the tin, making sure it is completely covered. Arrange the sponge hearts, upright, down the length of the tin, closely together so that they support each other.

6
Carefully spoon the remaining cake mixture on top of the hearts, gently tapping the tin on the work surface to help the mixture settle round the hearts. Make sure the hearts are well covered in cake mixture to help create the surprise.
7
Put the tin on a baking tray and bake in the oven for about 50 minutes until risen and firm to the touch, and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tin, and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.

8
To decorate, break the Dark Chocolate into a small, heavy bottomed saucepan. Add the butter and 15ml (1 tbsp) water. Heat very gently, stirring occasionally, until melted together and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside for about 20 minutes to cool to a thick, coating consistency.

9
Put the loaf cake on the wire rack over a tray. When the chocolate mixture starts to thicken, spoon over the top of the loaf. Gently tap the wire rack on the tray to spread and smooth the icing on top, letting it drip down the sides of the cake. Leave to stand in a cool place for several minutes to allow the icing to set before transferring to a serving plate. Your cake is ready to slice and surprise!
