I want to make plum wine for the first time, but I don't know where to buy plums, glacial sugar, brown sugar shochu, and preservation bottles. I would like to do it as cheaply as possible, but I wonder if I can get everything at Donki or Marukai ? Please let me know if you know of anyone who can help me. I'm not sure I can find the ice sugar in particular … If anyone knows just ice sugar, please let me know ! The liquor doesn't have to be brown sugar shochu, but if anyone knows which other liquor would make it taste better if soaked in it, I'd like to know that too. I prefer the sweeter ones !.

Recipe was made 2 years ago after watching Lee's Korean in Japan YouTube and I still use it.
Plums can be found at Palma Korean market, but not recently, so you may want to look on Amazon ? Matsu Take Ume on sale at Marukai. Made with white sugar. Each sugar is available at Marukai, Nijiya, and I have also seen them in China town, but they are not as clear as the Japanese raw sugar. I have seen the bottles at Donq before. It is also expensive and time consuming to boil the bottles and disinfect them by spraying with alcohol.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I don't know if they have it now, but there was a time when they sold green plums at Nijiya. I did not check for icesugar, but it seems to be available at Donki.

I also put on plum wine every two years.
Plums and glacial sugar, and every year I start selling it at Nijya in late May, but
the plums are expensive, so I buy it on Amazon.
(2 lbs. for $ 30th place )
I have also bought the glacial sugar on Amazon at Rock Suger.
The bottles are sold at Donki.
Shochu is made with vodka for me.
Most Japanese canned chu-hi is also vodka based,
I like it.
When the time comes (late May ~ June)
Last year there was a plum wine corner - prominently located in the vegetable corner - of Donkey's.
It was delicious.It can be delicious. This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Does anyone have experience with a minor U.S. citizen child with Japanese parents who entered Japan with only a U.S. passport? I am asking this question in case I can't renew it in time.
I have checked past information and it seems that even minors can stay in Japan as a foreigner with an American passport, but I wanted to know about recent cases. We would appreciate your cooperation.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Many times in the past, minor children have entered Japan ・ short term with only a US passport.
After the pandemic, there was a time when you could only enter Japan with a Japanese passport ( Japanese nationality ) but
now you can enter normally with an American passport.
In fact, last summer, I entered Japan with an American passport to use the JR Pass, and had no problem.
The only difference between the two passports is whether you have to wait in line for Japanese nationals or foreigners ( or visitors ) at the immigration checkpoint at the airport.
The only other difference is that every time I go to the airport, I am told by the airport staff, "Next time, please enter the country with a Japanese passport. I don't know why, but I am usually told that every time.

Thank you very much for your prompt advice, Showa Ototto-san and Pasupo-san. 😃
> Speaking of differences in passports, I am also concerned about the difference between waiting in line for Japanese nationals ( or foreigners ) visitors
at immigration at the airportThis is also a concern, and I would like my accompanying adult ( uncle, from his perspective We decided to have the foreign ( visitor ) queue with an American ) who is an uncle in his own right.
My siblings and I, another Japanese national with an unexpired Japanese passport, got in the Japanese line to enter Japan.
I feel much better now. Again, thank you very much for your helpful information.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

If your child is smart and obeys the teacher, it will be advantageous to send him to Summer, but if he does not listen and is not very smart, it is better not to send him to Summer and, on the contrary, to hide his weaknesses. In summer, everything will be seen through.
You need to make a legitimate judgment of the child in general, not based on the greed of the parents or the opinion of the teacher who is being paid a monthly fee for the lessons.
Good luck 🌈This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Today, a woman we know who lives in the same condo asked us to come and see her because she has been having trouble with electricity for several days, and when my husband went to see her, he found the room in poor condition, with two small dogs and feces and urine left inside the room amidst a garbage dump. She said that her phone and cell phone had stopped working, and it was assumed that she was behind in paying her utility bills and other bills. She used to be a very neat and tidy person, but I believe that she has become unable to take care of herself due to her age. We believe that she is inconvenienced by the lack of electricity, and we would like to know where we can contact in order to receive government assistance for the elderly. I believe that there is a terrible stench coming from the person in question and that he/she is in need of elder care support, etc.

#3 Dear nuiloamama
Sorry for the late reply. It took a while for this consultation topic to be reflected on Vivinavi after I posted it, and in the meantime, I had a lot of problems, so I called 911 and asked for advice. Then I found out that the police and fire department (救急) had a history of several cases where she had collapsed on the road and was taken to the hospital, and that they had tried to support her from the state, but she was adamantly refusing to do so. She trusts us and listens to us, so we got between her and the staff sent by the state, and today she finally convinced us to accept state support. We were having trouble knowing how far to intervene since they are not our relatives, but we were relieved that we managed to bridge the gap to the support group. I will keep the information you gave me in case something similar happens again in the future. Thank you very much.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Vivinavi HawaiiAbout Green Card Application

- まいたけ
- 2024/04/29 22:15
I am planning to apply for a marriage based green card in the US.
I went to the SSN office today and applied for my social security card. I told them that I wanted to change my name to → First name+Middle name(maiden name)+Last name(husband's last name), but they told me that at this stage I cannot put my middle name, so I should come back with it to change it when my green card comes.
If I am due to receive my social security card in 2 weeks and then apply for my green card, if I put the social security number I got on the application form ( my new last name without my middle name ) and my green card without my middle name Is it possible that my green card will also be without my middle name?
If that is the case, I am thinking of saying no social security number on the form.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I didn't have a number when I applied for my green card because my SSN was made after I received my green card.
Same thing, I got it by marriage. It may be different than already having one and not being able to get in, but in my case I had no SSN.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I had SSN card with Japanese name because I had SSN before marriage and I kept my SSN and applied for green card with
Japanese surname ( maiden name ) in my middle name and received green card with First Name+Middle name[(maiden name+Last name(My husband's surname ))
I received my Green Card !
After that, when I ADD my name to my husband's bank account, I changed my SSN name to the same as my Green Card, but it was easy to change.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I entered the country on April 1 this year under ESTA and got married in Hawaii with my boyfriend who is from Hawaii. I filed an I-130 to apply for permanent residence and USCIS sent an email to his email address saying that they received it, but I have not received a letter. I am entering the country under ESTA, so I only have 90 days to apply. ? If so, what should I do next? ? Since May has already passed and I am running out of time to stay on ESTA, I was wondering if anyone has applied for permanent residence under ESTA as well? ! 🙇 ♀ ️

I am a green card holder.
I am applying for a re-entry permit for my child to go to school in Japan. ?
I would appreciate it if you could give me a reference of the reason for the application and the period of time stated in the application.
I asked my lawyer to help me and it cost me $1500 not including the application fee. Since the paperwork was simple, I am wondering if I should ask an attorney or apply myself.
I am hoping to get advice from someone who has experience.

Ten years ago,
my son applied for a Reentry permit to go to college.
The reason for applying was to attend school.
He got a permit for 2 years and then extended it for 1 year.
He could have extended it for another year, but he did not apply for it because he had decided to go to graduate school at that time.
He resigned himself to the fact that he would have no choice if it was taken away from him, and
My husband obtained citizenship in case it was taken away.
My husband became a sponsor and got his green card again
Strangely enough, we lived in Japan for 3 years and came back to Hawaii twice a year, and we have been able to keep our citizenship without being blamed by immigration.
We applied for the permit by ourselves both times.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Thank you for your quick response.
I guess we all think the same way.I am relieved.
I also decided to stay in Hawaii in case of emergency.
Since I haven't decided which country I will be based in, I decided to forgo citizenship so that I can continue to live in Japan as before.
I still feel that I can apply for re-entry by myself, right?
It is very difficult because there are many things I don't understand, but I am relieved to hear an experienced person's opinion.

I mailed the clinic payment with a check, but it has been about 10 days and it still has not been debited when I look at my bank account. I called the clinic and asked if they received the check properly, but they said they don't know since they are asking the Billing company to do so, but they will inquire next week.
How long does it usually take for the check to be reflected ? I am worried because it has been too long since I paid by mail.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I think it is up to the accountant working at the clinic to decide when the clinic will put the check they receive into their account.
I have paid various clinics with checks, and some were very slow, such as the one that was debited more than 2 months after I mailed it to them.
I was also concerned and called them, but the person who answered the phone gave me his name and said not to worry, as the system has recorded that you called me.The point is, if they have a record that you are willing to pay and that you have properly sent the check, I don't think the clinic will impose any penalty on you.
If you called, please note the date and time of the call and the name of the person who answered the phone so that if you do not receive the mail, you can prove that you intended to pay and that you checked with the clinic.
I am not a fan of paying by check mail either.
If you receive a bill and the clinic does not have an online credit card payment portal, you can call the clinic directly and ask if you can verbally pay by credit card over the phone ? and they will accept the card payment over the phone. Some clinics will accept credit card payment over the phone.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation.

> I overheard information that you don't have to file a declaration.
It's a simple American system, but not a good or bad one.
Without an SSN, you can't register with Uber or Lyft, and
since filing a W9 is mandatory, the income is automatically reported to the IRS once the 1099 is issued by Uber or Lyft.
And if the income earner does not report it, the unreported surcharge and penalty will come around the time you forget.
The IRS is scarier than an immigration officer, so there is no way to misrepresent your income.
W2 is not issued for less than $400, so it is usually less than $400.
I have never used Uber or Lyft, so it would be nice to hear from someone with experience.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)
