Ever since @yokochin153604 (Twitter) posted Renkon Tsukune I forgot how much I loved them. Made some tonight along with Hayashi Rice. Perfect for a chilly evening!

Yesterday I went to Tori no Ichi market at Hanazono shrine. The line was insane! The atmosphere was fun. I definitely will be going to a different shrine next year though.

Excited for this tomorrow. I always seem to miss it each year!

Yesterday I stopped by Aoyama Itchome to see the Ginkos!

It’s been 10 years or so since I’ve been. Long ago it was a little busy. Yesterday the crowd was similar to Sakura on the Meguro River!

Late morning pick me up. Matcha so good that there is no bitterness at all, even a hint of sweetness. With one of my favourite snacks, Hakata Torimon.

It’s truly an honor to know @tiffanyrossdaleofficial. She’s turning her dreams into reality while giving a voice, inspiration, and hope to minorities across Japan. Watching her documentary #WeExist at the Shibuya Diversity Film Festival was such a proud and moving moment.

Strange dinners can occur when you’re cleaning out the fridge and freezer for the week.

Wings with home made hidden valley ranch dressing and veggies.

Family style spaghetti and meatballs.

It seems Japanese people like the first photo. And non Japanese people like the second. Which one do you like?
