Affordable, chef-quality lunch at a newly refurbished restaurant Enjoy authentic Japanese to your heart's content Neutral Bay is the ultimate place to go if you are craving Japanese food, from traditional noodles or rice dishes to Westernstyle Japanese. You are sure to find most types of Japanese cuisine in Neutral Bay, with plenty of restaurants and take-away stores. In such a competitive battlefield, Kai reopened in February this year with a new slogan, "The restaurant with the authentic chef", and a renewed affordable and quality lunch menu. Kai has a reputation for an uncompromised authentic taste and a desire to bring real Japanese food not only to the Neutral Bay, but eventually to Sydney as well. While this attitude has not changed, their lunch menu has reappeared in a new form that will keep both customers' stomachs and wallets happy! The must-try recommendation has to be the range of donburi (authentic dishes of meat, fish or vegetables over rice) starting from $13.50. Served with a mini-udon, the size of each meal is certainly satisfying. This satisfaction is then followed by the pleasant, nostalgic harmony of carefully selected ingredients and the blend of rice and sauce, which is said to be the foundation of donburi. The fried food is crisp and the cooked meats are very tender, allowing your chopsticks to cut through without any

difficulty. The mini-udon is the ideal and essential match for the main dish. Japanese authenticity can also be created with just bowl of rice and miso soup to accompany the main dish. Pork sh_ga-yaki (stir fry with ginger) is the representative dish and can often be hard to find outside Japan. The pork is fried with onions and chives, mixed with sauce, cut into bite-size pieces and served with rice. Surprisingly, $14.50 includes a tsukidashi (small appetiser) and a chawanmushi (egg custard). It definitely feels like you've been looked after. If you are really indecisive, and just want everything from the overwhelming menu, there is "Kai Special Lunch Set" at $29.50. It's a parade of Kai's classic quality meals, enough to fill anyone at a reasonable price. There are also sushi/sashimi Sets, which makes the decision over lunch just a little more difficult! Driven to continue providing genuine Japanese cuisine, Kai is also introducing dinner course meals from midSeptember. You will be pleasantly surprised that a five-course meal includes an entr_e and a main selection from three different combinations at only $55 per person. Whether it's a filling lunch or an awesome dinner you are hoping for, Neutral Bay is the place to be, day or night.

Yellow Pages・Money & Tax Talk・TV Program about Japan

Under the superannuation guarantee scheme an employer must make contributions into their employee’s complying superannuation fund. The amount to be contributed is currently 9% of the employee’s ordinary time earnings. Contributions are required to be made at least quarterly with the quarters being the end of March, June, September and December and must be made within 28 days of the end of the quarter. Employees are able to choose the fund into which their contributions are made but as an employer you should always check that their fund is a complying fund. You can do this on the Superfund lookup website. As an employer it is important that you determine who is an employee for superannuation purposes. The definition of an employee includes workers who fall within the ordinary meaning of employee but for superannuation purposes also includes

��

people who are employed principally for their labour. This extended definition means that some contractors are employees and as such you are required to make superannuation contributions on their behalf. Also working directors are employees. Once you determine who your employees are, the next step is to calculate their ordinary time earnings. This can be different from their salary and wages. For example, payments for working overtime are salary and wages but are not ordinary time earnings. The minimum superannuation amount is based on ordinary time earnings. An employer is required to keep records to demonstrate compliance with the superannuation guarantee scheme. These records would include the name of the employee, their ordinary time earnings, and the amount of superannuation contributed. Superannuation is also required to be shown on an employee’s pay slip. Failure to pay superannuation can result in the imposition of the superannuation guarantee charge. This consists of the unpaid superannuation, plus interest, plus an administration fee. As a penalty to the employer, no amount of the superannuation guarantee charge is tax deductible. If you would like further information on employer superannuation contributions or any other taxation or accounting issues please contact us.

ちんどん屋舞台の絵本

﹁面白そう﹂を大事に

ちんどん屋を舞台にした絵本「ちんどんやちんたろう」（長崎出版・ 1575円）が刊行された。独特の色使いに加え、「何これ！？」と好奇心をそそる絵柄で、なじみのない世界に子どもたちが興味を持ちやすい作品だ。主人公は小学生の「しんたろう」。友達の「かよ」の父親がやっている下町商店街のちんどん屋の中をのぞき見していると、父親に見つかる。父親の迫力に動揺し、その場しのぎで「ちんどん屋になりたいんです」と言ってしまう。かよと一緒に特訓に励み悪戦苦闘しながら、ちんどん屋の世界にはまっていく…。制作のきっかけは、著者の紙切り似顔絵師チャンキー松本さん（46）のもとに、妻で挿絵師のいぬんこさん（45）の絵がちんどん屋に合うと声が寄せられたこと。作家やミュージシャンら多様な人が出入りする2人のマンションの家に、同じマンションに住む 10歳の男の子がよく遊びに来ていた。「こんな子が非日常の世界に入っていったら面白い

のでは。今は子どもが冒険できる所が少ない」とストーリーを考えたという。絵本ではちんどん屋の事務所の舞台裏も細部まで描き、にぎやかなタッチとなっている。「絵本は駄菓子のイメージ」といういぬんこさんの考えを反映させているという。「自分の子ども時代を思うと、駄菓子のパッケージがよみがえって懐かしい。教育的なことより、子ども目線で描きたかったんです」「『よく分からないけど面白そう』という感覚を大事にしてほしい」とチャンキー松本さんといぬんこさん。「よからぬ出会いや味わったことのない経験が、成長のきっかけになります」と話している。
