>951 Thank you for your comment. I tried to write something for other board, but it failed. Hmmm. Is it impossible to post 2-Ch from abroad? #I am in Germany now.
Speaking of Germany, I have a teleconference meeting with a famous German company every Tuesday. Soooooooooooo tired today! They speaks English well, but their German accent is very thick! I think I'm getting used to it though.
>953 Thank you for your kind reply. I gave up to post...
I am just curious about a news-article from Japan, which says Yoshinoya will stop selling GYU-DON very soon. Since I get back to Japan soon, I am very looking forward to have Japanese foods. Sushi, Ra-men, and Gyu-don!
>>956 Ah, I'm afraid Yoshinoya isn't supposed to serve gyudon for the moment. It's up to the Japanese goverment whether Yoshinoya can start selling gyu-don.
>954 I have been here for two years, and the life is wonderful! As you guess, the tast of beer is nice! Very dried climate is one of the reason of the good taste, but the most important point is thickness and freshness, I think. The thickness comes from the taste of malts, and the freshness comes from the quality of hopfen (sorry, I don’t know the English word).
>955 Almost German people can speak English fluently, but yes, some of them have strong accents. In my experience, the most awful English speaker is Indian. They speak too fast with strange pronunciation!
>957 Thank you for you responce. I am disappointed…. I agree that BSE is a serious problem. I hope Japanese government puts much pressure to American government to solve the problem.
>>960 I see on the morning news that Yoshinoya will continue to sell Gyu-dons only at some race tracks in Japan. So you can still enjoy it there. But it's price will be rise to \500 ! Oh my gosh!
>964 Thank you for you kind reply. I am afraid that race tracks (for car racing?) are not familiar for me, and it is too much to go a race track only for taking GYU-DON. I am going to wait until Yoshinoya starts GYU-DON again.
Hello hello, Is someone here? I am who wrote the subject about GYU-DON yesterday. My interest still remain on this matter. A news-article in asahi.com said that TODAY is the last day of GYU-DON in Yoshinoya, and so many people come and enjoy the LAST GYU-DON. Have you already had the last one? How was the taste?
I am very impressed the advertising method of Yoshinoya. Several years ago when the first BSE was reported in Japan, most of people hesitated to eat beef even which is imported from non-BSE country such as NZ and Austria. But this time, so many Japanese people like to go Yoshinoya to have GYU-DON that is made from beef imported from BSE country. How Yoshinoya promote this FEVER! How can it be possible!
This fuzz is a great loss for Yoshinoya, but at the same time it also has an advertising effect. I think Yoshinoya is looking for the next stage. This is not the end of the world for Yoshinoya. People now knew a lot more about Yoshinoya by watching these bad happenings on TV and newspapers. I'm sure they will make this a good opportunity to improve their products and become even better in the future.
>976 Thank you for your comment, and I agree your opinion. It is a big business opportunity for Yoshinoya.
But I still wonder why Japanese people changed their idea for BSE. The first BSE shock was not long time ago. And at that time, almost restaurants including Yoshinoya lost considerable numbers of customers. But this time, many people want to go to Yoshinoya to eat GYU-DON. The change is drastic, isnt it?
>>978 I think that is because Japanese people tend to move according to the atmosphere which they create. I don't think they changed their idea toward BSE. The atmosphere here this time was created by the media. I guess there are lots of people who avoid eating beef. But the media do not tell people about it this time. I guess that's because this time they are focusing on the fact that Yoshinoya is running out of beef. The fear still persists, I guess.
