Charred Corn Onigiri

TGIF! It’s been a long week in our neck of the woods and I am looking forward to a less-busy weekend. It has been awhile since I shared an onigiri recipe for you, so I’m rectifying that today! I love the flavor of charred corn, and after finding some beautiful corn at the store recently, […]

Los Angeles can be dirty, smelly, noisy, and crowded, but it can also be bright, colorful, friendly, and delicious. Despite the grime and some of the unmentionable smells that you might run into, there are some wonderful spots. Earlier this month we visited an area that I hadn’t visited before—the Piñata District.

We are currently in Japan! (I can’t tell you how giddy that makes me to type that!) Mr. Fuji had a 2-week business trip to Tokyo and about halfway through his trip he found a really good deal on tickets and booked a trip for the rest of us to fly out and meet up […]

*This post is brought to you in partnership with Nasoya. I’m a huge fan of fermented vegetables, whether it be dill pickles, sauerkraut, Japanese tsukemono, or Korean kimchi. Since going plant-based, I have had less to choose from in the kimchi department. The classic kimchi recipe includes some sort of salted seafood or fish sauce. […]

During the summer in Japan when the weather is hot and humid, you will see lots of chilled dishes on menus. One of those dishes is chilled noodles served with a variety of toppings.
