    Easy and Healthy Ochazuke

    Easy and Healthy Ochazuke

    It’s warm, savory, and creamy; it’s the perfect dish for a cold morning. It’s the very definition of comfort food. This dish is perfect because nearly anything can go with it! If you have leftover fish in the refrigerator that needs to be eaten or leftover vegetables you don’t know what to do with, you can sprinkle them on top of ochazuke for a quick and easy breakfast.

    The Gem of Lake Hamana

    The Gem of Lake Hamana

    The shrine is small, tucked away among the rocks, and canopied by a leaning pine tree. It’s exactly how you would imagine a traditional Japanese shrine to be. It’s a respectful union of nature and mankind.

    My Favorite Japanese Folktale

    My Favorite Japanese Folktale

    Legend has it that 700 hundreds of years ago, Iwata was plagued by evil demons. Once a year, Iwata held Naki Matsuri, a Crying Festival. A white-feathered arrow would fly into the roof of an unsuspecting villager’s home. This arrow symbolized the next daughter to be sacrificed to the demons. The villagers, afraid of the demon’s curse, begrudgingly put the daughter in a coffin and left it outside for the demons to carry away.

    Easy, Warm As a Hug Pretzels

    Easy, Warm As a Hug Pretzels

    There’s nothing quite like a soft, fluffy pretzel right out of the oven! Since moving to Japan there are a few things that I miss from America. It’s also a lot of fun being able to share my culture with my husband who has never been to America. The first time we made pretzels, we devoured half the batch in one sitting. Since then, this recipe has become a staple in our house.
