Today, I attended the 100th anniversary celebration of my university’s alumni association.

It was a beautiful day filled with history, gratitude, and inspiration.

I had the chance to meet a well-known TV announcer who hosted the event, as well as an award-winning novelist who is also an alumna.

Speaking with such inspiring women made me feel deeply proud to be part of this community.

We also heard a story about the time when Their Majesties the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Emerita visited the school when they were Crown Prince and Crown Princess. It reminded me of the long history behind the place where I once studied.

I studied English there, and now, 30 years after graduating, I am fulfilling my dream of publishing a cookbook in the United States.

It felt as if the seeds planted during my university days have finally begun to bloom.

At the end of the event, I even won a special anniversary gift in the raffle, which made the day even more memorable.

I’m grateful for where I came from, and excited for where this journey will take me next.

Cabbage Instead of Chips? The Ultimate Japanese World Cup Snack

Forget greasy chips—this is my favorite healthy Japanese game-day snack for watching the World Cup. Fresh cabbage is chilled until extra crisp, then dipped into a bold garlic chive sauce made with smoking-hot sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame seeds, and a touch of chili pepper.
It’s light, crunchy, refreshing, and full of flavor—the perfect snack to enjoy while cheering for your team!

ingredients:
1/2 bunch of garlic chives (or spring onion)
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
pinch of chili pepper

Every year, I tell myself, ā€œI don’t need more green plums!ā€
And every year, I lose the battle the moment I see ume at the grocery store. šŸ˜‚
They are only in season for such a short time, so in Japan, this is the season when many of us get busy making syrups and preserves.
My favorite is Ume Sour.
Sweet, tangy, fragrant, and so refreshing. It is exactly what your body wants during Japan’s hot and humid summer.
Ume Sour Base
2 lb (1 kg) Japanese green plums, or ume
10 oz (300 g) rock sugar
4 cups (960 ml) rice vinegar, or any vinegar of your choice
Let it sit until the sugar dissolves and the ume flavor infuses into the vinegar.
To serve, mix 1 tablespoon of the ume sour base with fizzy water.
So refreshing!
Actually, In Japan We SMASH Cucumbers! (Tataki Kyuri) šŸ„’šŸ’„

Instead of slicing, smashing the cucumbers creates rough edges that allow the savory garlic, ginger, and sesame soy sauce to cling to them and absorb instantly. It’s super crunchy, refreshing, and pure addiction! Perfect for hot summer days. šŸ¤¤šŸ»

2 Japanese (or English) Cucumbers
惻Dressing
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
a pinch of chili pepper
white sesame seeds

Happy International Tea Day!

If you want to truly enjoy matcha, choosing the right one makes all the difference.

How to prepare matcha in an authentic Japanese way!

Today, I’m using premium Matcha Otome by

Beautifully smooth, with natural sweetness and a gentle bitterness.

Sift the matcha into a tea bowl, add 70°C water, then whisk in a quick zigzag motion until a delicate foam forms on the surface.

Simple, calming, and one of my favorite daily rituals.
