As you know, we lived in Japan for over five years and one thing we miss terribly is the food. Sometimes I feel like I’m stranded on a desert isle and all I can think about is what Japanese food I will have when rescued. I’m not kidding. It’s pretty much an obsession. So, Jim and I thought that we would tell you all about the amazing food we love, and thankfully much of it can now be found in the US, and other western countries, so you don’t have to go all the way to Japan to try it.
