It is 8:00 a.m. in Japan. Today is cloudy again; the high is expected to be 7 degrees lower.
Japanese people love wordplay based on the sounds of numbers, and often create anniversaries using wordplay. Today is Tofu Day, the date is read as "to" (for 10) and "fu" (for 2).
Today, I drank "#KyoCoffee Maromi Blend (#京珈琲)," a popular product from Kyoto's #OgawaCoffee (#小川珈琲@oc_ogawacoffee)🎶 So delicious😋 "Kyo-Coffee" is a 100% Arabica blend crafted by Kyoto coffee artisans who pour their traditional skills and dedication into every cup☕️ I love Kyo-Coffee💕
I almost never get tsukimi meals, but KFC’s tsukimi chicken sandwich looked really good.
I prefer Hart’s over KFC anytime (Hart’s isn’t in Japan, though), but it was a pretty good sandwich
I plan to write an article about autumn wagashi (和菓子) (Japanese sweets) on Substack next Thursday, the 24th. The display cases at wagashi shops look like this right now, lined with plenty of jo-namagashi (premium fresh sweets) that evoke the feeling of autumn.
The other day, I ate the grilled salted salmon from #FamilyMart🎶 So delicious😋 In the summer, I find myself craving salty foods☀️🎵
Salmon helps beautify our skin because it contains astaxanthin—a powerful antioxidant—and PDRN, a DNA component that promotes cell regeneration✨ I love salmon💕
Yesterday, for a change of pace, I made a #matcha pork stir-fry (#抹茶#豚肉)🍵🎶 So delicious😋
This "matcha pork stir-fry" is a trending recipe that AI analysis has identified as the "ultimate combination" (https://t.co/PV84B6GNgX)🎵 We simply sauté pork belly in olive oil and season it with nothing but soy sauce and matcha powder😊 The matcha’s subtle bitterness and astringency harmonize exquisitely with the pork fat, creating a flavor that is both refreshing and complex✨ It is one of my favorite dishes💕
I am just about to finish a research paper on the main components of wakame seaweed🌊 Once I complete my papers on the main components of konjac, starch, and wood flour, I would like to conduct research on matcha next🎶 I am looking forward to it, as it seems I will be able to work with a beautiful green ingredient💚
