Kae-dama outing to see some contemporary artz

Just spent the afternoon whipping up some Explosive Chicken from Action Bronson’s cookbook Fuck That’s Delicious. True to its name, the Szechuan pepper makes for an explosive experience.

What is kae-dama? A quick post on our namesake.  Kae-dama (替え玉) is a system that allows customers to order a refill of noodles to add to the remainder of their soup. Most Tonkotsu ramen restaurants offer kae-dama so you can make sure to get your fill of the creamiest, silkiest broth Japan has to offer. 

No wonder it’s our favourite word.  Image credit

Hello, はじめまして！

Hello, Frazer and Emily here. 

We absolutely adore food. From holding a ripe piece of fruit in our palm, fresh from the morning market, to hunting down local gems to recreating our favourite discoveries at home, we love every step of the culinary process.  

So, it’s only natural that it is a huge factor in our upcoming trip to Japan. Join us as we craft and curate a comprehensive guide to some truly incredible food. 

Over the next year, we will literally be climbing mountains to bring you regional  ingredients at the height of their season. Along the way, we’ll be frequenting all the onsens and yatai to find out where you can eat like a local. Based in Tokyo, we will be travelling to festivals, markets, workshops and more. 

Please feel free to say hi, we would love to chat to you about our adventures.
