Takikomi gohan in donabe

Kabocha korokke and winter comforts

I always crave kabocha croquettes in the fall and winter. I think I first experienced them at some chain izakaya in Japan, but even there they made an impression. I now seek them out anytime I am in Japan during in the cooler months. The sweet nuttiness Read More...

Lacking spectacular moments, I forge on

My silence the last few days is merely a reflection of a rough schedule, combined with relatively uninteresting eating. I did my usual supermarket demos on Friday and Saturday, one of which was a long stretch away in Beaverton. I think I’ll be doing Read More...

Les Cadeaux Gourmets and a face from my past

This week was completely crazy, and I rarely had a spare moment before, say, 7 pm, in the best case. Today was like that, but more so. I had a couple of urgent shipments to take care of, which I handled, but the rest will unfortunately have to wait until Read More...
