The egret rookery along the Sakuragawa River on the Tsuchiura-Tsukuba Border – May
By Avi Landau
One of my favorite everyday experiences in Tsukuba is catching sight of one or more of this area`s numerous egrets ( SAGI in Japanese)- long-legged and long necked white-plumed wading birds, either stalking their prey in the rice fields or streams or flying elegantly overhead, with their necks tucked in and their long legs trailing behind while their slender wings gracefully propel them across the sky. It is something that I never tire of, no matter how often I see it.

A Margaritaville state of mind
Chef Lester Dean makes ‘legacy’ move Chef Lester Dean.
In the middle of a pandemic chef Lester Dean made a huge decision, the result of which means he is now working in a dream position as executive chef at Margaritaville Beach Resort Nassau – a job he considers a “legacy” move, as he didn’t walk into an existing resort, but comprises the team working to open the resort from the bottom up.
Dean is the man tapped with overseeing the resort’s dining outlets. His responsibility runs the gamut, from managing inventory, budgeting, menu planning, training, plating, and all kitchen staff from sous chefs to dishwashers – across the entire resort.
