「 熊猫 」 🐼

[claarz000]

This was the main reason why I joined a tour… No matter how much I researched, I couldn’t find a way to go here using public transport, so I’m so glad there are tours available.

The drive all the way to the shrine was through an uphill, winding road. It was scary as it was foggy and a bit rainy, but we had an awesome driver.

The view was just breathtaking. The vermillion torii gates had a nice contrast against the trees and the sea.

Hiroshima-Style Okonomiyaki: From Adversity to Beloved Staple - Unseen Japan

Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is a staple of Japanese cuisine. A short introduction to its postwar roots as an invention in difficult times.

My latest for Unseen Japan, on the history of okonomiyaki.

But did you know there is a Tohoku regional version of okonomiyaki, too? It's called Dondonyaki! You can expect an episode about it on my podcast Friday Night History in the not-too-distant future. Previews will be up shortly for patrons at komaneko.gay!
