What’s orange and makes your mouth water?
My top 3 favorite fruits have been the same for over ten years. The best fruits ever to me, especially in Japan, are watermelon, Asian pear (?) and persimmon. Obviously I have had other delicious fruits like peaches, mangos and strawberries etc, they remain to be my top 3. I am a dedicated woma[...]
It’s pretty. It fits. It’s fate!
I bought two kimonos recently. Yes, I am a big spender. Being a “giant” for a Japanese female at 169 cm or 5’6.5’’ (I do claim that half inch!), it is always difficult for me to find used kimonos that are perfect fit. I guess there is the same problem with any vintage clothing [...]

SUMO!
Sumo is one of those things that is so familiar to us yet we rarely go see live. But those who have seen the actual match always tell me that it’s completely different from just watching it on TV. Now that May’s Grand Sumo Tournament is on (until this Sunday), I finally decided to m[...]
Ghost slope!?
So, the Ghost Slope. I was walking in Takanawa/ Shirokane area the other day, and made a turn onto this narrow street to take a short cut. There, right in the corner, was a wooden sign with the name and the episode of the hilly street; Yuurei-zaka, literally meaning ghost slope. Well, the woode[...]
Eat 4, 6 or 8 octopus balls at Gindako
I love Gindako, but I always thought 8 of those decadent octopus balls were too much for me. So, the other day, I made my visit for the first time in a while to the branch in Roppongi, to kill some time and fill up my stomach, and there I found options of 6 or [...]
Step into a little izakaya!
Glowing lights of bar signs in small side streets, yokocho, used to seem somewhat obscene and old man-ish to me, like it’s not the place I should ever go. But now that I’m grown up and legal to drink (and enjoy drinking… maybe too much), these small bars in sides streets seem full of special [...]

Ippudo in Tokyo is for Meat-eating Non-vegetarians!
I was hanging out with my friend from Canada the other day, who was visiting Tokyo with two of his good friends. One of them currently lives in New York City, and was apparently dying to make a visit to Ippudo here in Tokyo, as it was one of his favorite restaurants in New York. [...]
