After a few random posts I've decided to dedicate this blog to my life long project of Japanese food
and culture (and my life in general, especially my travels).
Since my first taste of sushi back in 1997 I've been interested in, and frequently been making
Japanese food.
My interest in the country and culture started long before and continues to evolve.
I was lucky to finally visit Japan in October 2008, again in November 2019 and hope to be back soon.
In July 2012 I visited Japantown in San Fransisco, the next best thing!
I was lucky to be back in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019 thanks to the fact that we now have family living in California.
Both small and big adventures will from now on, as time permits, be shared with you.
I will post other recipes and pictures too, mainly cooking projects, plants and art projects
(including my new love - making kumihimo braided objects).
I hope you'll find it interesting, and feel free to leave a comment or ask questions!
I write mainly in English, but there will be some Norwegian too, especially posts about things
that mainly have Norwegian interest. Tutorials are bi-lingual.

My bento stash
Since I've ordered some more bento stuff, I decided to check what I've got now... before it arrives. And it is some, but I sure could use more! So, it's all good! Can't wait to get the egg shaper, small bottles and Totoro bento box!
From left: Furoshiki x2, drawstring bag, rabbit 2 tier box, Hello Kitty single box, ongri box x2, bento onigri box, 2 tier bentobox with shut-close lid, small boxes inkl. Hello Kitty mayo box with spoon, silicone shapes, training chopsticks for my daughter, vegetable cutters in various shapes, animal pins for food, nori stapler.
My bento equipment has been bought at Tokyo Hands in Tokyo and from J-box online. Plus a few household items from Norway like silicone molds, heart cutters, etc.
ps. most of this is my daughters! If you were wondering....

Great blog - thank you! I love furoshiki as they're so easy to use, flexible (and more eco-friendly than plastic bags and wrapping paper). We've posted some ideas on how to use them on our blog http://myfuroshiki.blogspot.com/2009/03/easter-egg-bag.html Your daughters might like the some of the easter themed wraps!
Looking forward to your second post on tofu making so I can try it too. Mich
myfuroshiki: Thank you! Your furoshiki's looks great! I especially the silk one was lovely.
I'll post part 2 of tofu making as soon as I can... adjusting the pictures now.
Great bento-collection! Everything is so cute and beautiful! The rabbit-box is so adorable! :D
