You can still eat a noodle bowl (Udon or Soba) for 390 yen ($3.00) in Tokyo. What can you eat for $3.00 in the US? Forget higher wages, when the price off everything is expensive, it offsets all the money you can make. $3.00 bowl of noodle is in the middle of Tokyo. It is just amazing.

This was one of the dished they served at the restaurant I ate last night. This steak dish is for for two people. This was one of the 7 dished we enjoyed last night with my friend for over 25 years. I think Wagyu is not meant to be eaten like wester steak but Japanese small dish like this.

One of the best ways to control salt in Japan os to eat boiling pot dinner. Among the many boring pot dinners, one of the lowest salt dish is Shabu Shabu. Our partner is Japan, took me to a great Shabu Shabu restaurant near Tokyo Station.

![Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. ...]()
PSPINC's Application Service
In my last newsletter, I talked about Pacific Software Publishing, Inc.’s support services. This time, I’d like to talk about some of our application services, which we offer in addition to our hosting and support services. Application services, also known as SaaS (Software as a Service), refers to Internet-based software. Here are all the application services we currently offer:
Click It Audio
This service embeds an audio file as a QR code or an icon on a website or blog. When a user clicks on the icon online, it plays the audio. By providing an audio link, you can convey your message through audio, especially if it seems like reading a lot of text is tedious.
With Click It Audio, you can also display the audio file as a QR code (see reference). When scanning it with a smartphone, it’ll play audio. You can even use these audio QR codes on product labels or business cards.
Pass Wizard
Pass Wizard is a password manager that stores your passwords, account numbers, passport numbers, and other sensitive information in the cloud with the highest encryption capabilities. You can store up to ten passwords for free.
Or you can upgrade to our Pro plan, where there isn’t a limit to the number of passwords you can store. Our Pro plan also gives you the ability to invite family and friends to your account. We’ve even reduced the fee for adding such members, and invitees can also store an unlimited number of passwords. In addition, the Pro plan offers even greater security with multi-factor authentication (MFA) either through SMS or an authenticator app.
You can access Pass Wizard through a browser, so you can use it on any PC, tablet, or smartphone connected to the internet.
NewsMAIL
NewsMAIL is a SaaS-type service to send email broadcasts, which PSPINC launched 26 year ago in 1997. There’s no need to purchase a package, and There is no need to purchase a package, and you can pre-purchase as many emails as you need to send, and send them out. It’s the oldest software we offer at PSPINC, and we still use it to send newsletters, like this newsletter you’re reading right now.
You can send NewsMAIL broadcasts as text, HTML mail types, or as designed templates. In addition, as a Spam countermeasure, we’ve included a one-click unsubscribe function to deal with fraudulent emails.
MegaMail
MegaMail is a large file transfer system package PSPINC launched in 2004. It’s now offered as a SaaS. This system combines email and file-transfer functions by storing files on a server and emailing the link to the destination to enable downloading. You can even also use the password functions for peace of mind.
Opinion Stand
Opinion Stand is PSPINC’s user opinion collection system. It can collect customer opinions on up to five levels, from 😡 to 😀. It then collects opinions and provide them as statistical data. Also, you can even collect information as a questionnaire at trade shows when you use Opinion Stand on a tablet.
ImaMenu
This is an online menu creation and display system that we created after getting customer requests. Web browsers can display the created menu, but it can also be opened with a QR code. In the future, we’d like to create online order capabilities and integrate with restaurants’ accounting systems (POS) as needed.
C-Sagaseru
This is a coach introduction system we launched 18 months ago in Japan. There are currently over 370 coaches registered. This system is versatile and currently operates another portal for hairdressers, we can customize it as an industry-specific referral system to suit your needs. We encourage coaches to register for the system, as well as those looking for coaches. There is no cost to contact or sign up as a coach. We hope you will take advantage of this system.
Those are all PSPINC’s SaaS products. You can sell these systems as a distributor or modify the system to provide services under your own label. Please contact me if you are interested.

One of the most popular place to visit by foreigners in Japan is not a shrine or temple, or no historic places. It is a convenience store (one 24 hours). The concept has started in the US but it has grown in Japan. It is amazing how clean and orderly and inexpensive items are. I wish we had something like this in the US.
