Pocky and Calbee

I’m not an avid consumer of Pocky, as hard as that might be to believe. I’m not a pocky fan or one of those people that create a shrine for Pocky. I look at it realistically and think…
“well, it’s a biscuit stick dipped in frosting”
I think the last time I had Pocky was mm….5 years [...]


Fish and Cats

I went to Kitayama lunch one day. This is what happens when you’re bored.

Ebi tails for the eyebrows.

I scooped out the pulp of the lemon and replaced it with wasabi.

Then you spread the wasabi around and peel apart the ginger so it is completely flat (no wrinkles!), and lay it around. A work of art.
Then [...]


Foot pads

I got these foot pads from a store in Little Tokyo awhile ago and I kind of forgot about them.

Then I found them and it sat there for awhile. I finally found a time to use them (was in high heels walking around avidly for about 4 hours) and so I put them on.
These were [...]


Informative Video

I made this video a few weeks ago. I’ve noticed that most people don’t know what some emotes mean. ^_^ or -__-” so I made a video explaining them.

Yummy Tuna Bowl

Last week, I tried this bowl out and it was soooooooooooooooo yummy. And only like….$5 something! There was another one topped with crab meat, but…..sometimes that kind of crab meat just tastes salty, you know? So I got the tuna, and it was sooooooooooooooo good. Sooooooooooooooooo good. In the next few days, I was dreaming [...]


Cheese Bit

These are…ooooooooookay. They are very light though, and I’m guessing they are more healthy than your average American brand salty chip. These are more like puffs in the shape of tiny chips.

1/3 of the package is 6g of fat, 140mg of sodium (pretty good I think), and 2% Calcium, woohoo!


Huntington Library

I went to the Huntington Library today! I’ve been there lots of times, but this time seem more fun than before. My favorite part was the atrium because they have a lot of new exhibits to look at there were more hands-on experimenting. You can smell and feel plants, and look through the microscope!

This is [...]


Mitsuwa love

There are so many home-ec things at Mitsuwa that are so tempting to buy. Those Japanese people really know how to make things that look so efficient and clean! You buy it and you want to think “This will really work! Look how wonderful it is!” and they really pay attention to their packaging. I [...]


Japanese Sweets

One of my favorite things to do at Mitsuwa is to try out the novel treats they have at the market. Here are some of the new ones I’ve had:

Mocchiri Fucchyo and Shyowa Fucchyo. Or is it Futsuchyo? I can’t tell if the tsu is silent because I have no idea what it means. <: [...]
