Karcher cleaner

We bought a Karcher steam cleaner by internet shopping.
It was around 29000 yen.
Before we started the hostel 2 month ago, the building was used as a "business hotel" for 20 years.
As we succeeded the building right after they quit running, we couldn't have enough time to do a large scale cleaning.
Of course the cleanliness condition was not very bad because it was running. However, we thought we must clean more.

Today we cleaned the wall and the banisterin the stair hall.
Surely it is powerful.
We tried the jet nozzle when cleaning the banister.
It was too strong to do it and some parts made by stone got scraped a little.
Very strong and dengerous.

We will try to clean carpet in western style rooms to remove persistent bad smell by  ciggalet tar.

Futon cover

We have new futon (Japanese style bedding) covers now.
It is light brownish two-tone colour and I expect they make atmosphere of the guest rooms more relaxing.
By the way, the comforters are down quilt.
We look forward to welcome you with the comfortable nights in Hana Hostel.

Curry marathon Day


Last weekend, we cooked a lot of curry and served for guests.
The choices were:

Japanese style mild Chicken curry
Seafood (shrimp and squid) curry
Vegetarian hot curry

The event started at noon and ended at the next noon for 24 hours.
So it is curry marathon.
 
When we serve meal for foreign guest, we have to mind something.

Some guests don 't like hot food.
Some guests are vegetarians.
Some guests don't beef, pork or some of particular meat for religious reason.

Considering about those things, we ended up cooking the 3 curries.
We will have another food event soon.
Hope to share home made taste with you.
