Hope everyone along the coast/tsunami path is safe 🙏🏼 Heard North America is also in a warning zone.

Long time no see 😅 Happy New Year, everyone! It snowed today~

@MaraWakaJa Glad to hear it’s not cancer!! A month of waiting must have been nerve-wracking :(

@TheStarLi They said I could have an official alias using his name. A lot less paperwork, just need to have something mailed to me using that name. Maybe I’ll do that haha

[Matcha Darling @matchadarling]

It’s been a year since I married my Japanese husband, and still on the fence about whether or not I should take his name. My visa is good for two more years but my US passport needs to be renewed by January. Mostly I’m just worried about the paperwork for everything😅 Any advice?

[Matcha Darling @matchadarling]

@AnEnigmaDave And my last name spelled in Katakana is baakaa 😂

[Matcha Darling @matchadarling]

@AnEnigmaDave That’s what I was thinking! It’ll be better for our kids, especially living in Japan, having a Japanese last name would be better.
The majority of cons are about paperwork, and how to change things in the states (like my bank and student loan stuff) when I physically can’t go.

@Rendezvousasia Unfortunately they said we couldn’t choose a hyphenated name when I asked at city hall :( I just thought it might be a hassle to change my passport later on 🙈

It was beautiful out so we went for a walk and found a beautiful flower field.

I just returned to Japan from a trip in the USA for work and somewhat perplexed how different each country is handling travelers during the pandemic. So, here goes...

@ug_ene Matcha pie sounds delicious!! I love both pie and matcha 😍

[Matcha Darling @matchadarling]

Found at Seiyu: matcha chocolate potato chips.

[Matcha Darling @matchadarling]

@ug_ene Haha どうぞ！🍫🥂

[Matcha Darling @matchadarling]

Dars has champagne chocolate out now. (Alcohol content is <1%).

[Dave in Osaka @DaveInOsaka]

Another amazing show by Teamlabs at Kairakuen in Mito, Japan. It goes until March 31.

[Matcha Darling @matchadarling]

@ug_ene It was good! The champagne taste goes well with chocolate :)

[Matcha Darling @matchadarling]

@TheLLLounge My friend and I were discussing that too haha. It wasn’t until we were drinking the lemonades we realized that it is indeed just cherry. Maybe slightly more... floral? If they use the leaves.

[Matcha Darling @matchadarling]

Shake Shack Japan has new Sakura drinks! I tried their Sakura lemonade and shake. Both were good. From next month they will have a cherry Sakura shake. The shake I had has a very faint Sakura (cherry) flavor mixed into the vanilla based. The lemonade reminded me of tart cherry.

@mynifelheim We tend to be pretty critical of ourselves. Sending you positive vibes!
