In Japan, rice has a rich history which dates back over 2000 years. It’s a staple in many traditional dishes and has become an important part of Japanese food culture.

Quickly grabbed after work and casually enjoyed with some coworkers or friends: the chūhai is a canned alcoholic drink that traditionally is a shōchū (distilled alcohol) highball.

I love pugs. They are my favorite loaves of snoring, drooling, and heavy shedding fur animals.

Japanese delicacies approved by the world. Overseas development of Japanese food such as sushi and sukiyaki is actively conducted, and now there are specialty shops overseas.

If you live on Okinawa, you might have heard about Goya, a local cucumber-like vegetable also known as bitter melon.

I know we can all get stressed out every day. Swamped with emails, dealing with phone calls, juggling smart phones, tablets and facing endless responsibilities both at work and home can do that to a person.
My introduction to sushi was at my university canteen. Every week I would buy a small sushi lunch box filled with salmon, tuna, and other such exoticisms.
