My feed was hungry.
Pulled over at a highway service area in Yamaguchi Prefecture for kawara soba: green tea noodles cooked on a hot roof tile.
July 2025 🇯🇵
Wouldn’t it be nice if every hump day looked like this?
Throwback to the 3rd Wednesday in February when Samantha was in INDIA 👯‍♀️ my early morning chat sesh and my regular good night, we’re literally proof that cross continental friendships do work if you both do 🌍
What was supposed to be a quick coffee in Tokyo while I was learning how to run an Indian restaurant in Japan somehow stretched into three hours turned lifetime friendship.
We even forgot to exchange business cards that day.
My conduit to Japan, and my partner in this Indo-Japanese life we keep building together, always seasoned with a balanced blend of masala and umami.
Happy birthday, Miki-san ❤️🇯🇵🇮🇳
Someone asked for one single Sri Lanka highlight, expecting a restaurant or a hotel recommendation. I have a few of both (and an equally long wishlist), but my immediate answer was Blue Beach Island.
Purchased in Goa, devoured in Sri Lanka.
Thank you Rika, Reiko and even Kaji (!) for being such insightful, entertaining travel companions.
I love how this work of fiction gives you a way into Japanese culture — the way people think about flavor, appetite, restraint, pleasure, and what food actually does to us. That too, as told through the complexities of being a woman.
Butter may or may not have been the reason I ate so much toast this trip, but it definitely belongs on your reading list.
