The other day, my family happened to visit the first Kumamoto ramen shop in Tokyo. Kumamoto is the name of the prefecture, which is located in Kyushu region. The name of the ramen shop is “Keika(桂花)”. This shop is located near the Sunshine city, so I recommend to visit there after the long walk of window-shopping!
Recently, I hold Mario and Luigi Bento class for family guests from USA. I was so happy to know that they chose this class because they wanted to learn Japanese Bento and also meet Mario and Luigi at the end of their Japan trip! (By the way, my hungry son finished almost all the Mario and Luigi Bento…you know.)
I visited my hometown few weeks ago and had a relaxing time there. Since my hometown Iwaki-city (Fukushima-prefecture) has a lot of nature, my family enjoyed spending time at the beach, mountain and botanical garden etc. I especially enjoyed walking around the neighborhood where I used to live before moving to Tokyo. I could see so many new houses and its architectures are very modern and sophisticated. My son could meet cousins and play together with them.

Visited the Ramen street in Tokyo station and tasted vegan ramen at Soranoiro. I have wanted to visit shop for long time since my cooking class guests talk about this shop some times.
These days, I have several requests for Halal menus so I started teaching Spicy Miso Ramen in my Home-style Ramen & Gyoza class. If you are interested in this ramen, please let me know when booking! Thank you!!
YJC (YUCa’s Japanese Cooking) had the honor of TOP3 activity in Japan,

After coming back to Tokyo, Mr.Hamanura from Inoue Umeboshi shokuhin company sent us a box of 1kg plums!!! Some of you may know but my fridge is not big so I started making a homemade plum juice right away. In Japan, we enjoy plum juice (and also plum related foods) to prevent fatigue from summer heat. I have homemade plum juice this summer so I should be energetic and work harder! hahahah
The other day, students from USA joined our cooking class.
So we made TWO gyoza pizzas for 9 guests. And…of course…it’s all gone!!!

Summer has arrived finally here in Japan. Somehow, it arrived a bit early this year. So, I decided to display sunflowers this week. I like this brilliant color!
Few hours left before going back to Tokyo !!! So, we went to the local touristy spots called Senjojiki and Sandanbeki. I didn’t know there are such a cool and dynamic (& instagrammable ) spots here in Japan. I should travel more than before for…food research!!!
