Japanese Mom Life Vlog : 3
A Day in the Life of a Japanese Mom | Easy Japanese Recipes | Supermarket Visit | 2021 Summer
This is a vlog from a little while ago, capturing an ordinary weekday with my 2- and 6-year-old kids. From breakfast and our morning routine before daycare, to a mushroom-filled lunch, afternoon pick-ups, and a quiet moment after bedtime — these simple days have become such precious memories. I’d be so happy if you could take a moment to look back on them with me.

Japanese Food Charm in the Smallest Details
Look what I found in my drawer!
This adorable chopstick rest is shaped like narutomaki — the cute, swirly fish cake you often see floating in ramen bowls. I couldn’t resist its charm! It’s such a fun and subtle way to bring a little bit of Japanese food culture to the table. I love how small details like this can make even an everyday meal feel a bit more special.
Do you have a favorite chopstick rest or any tableware that adds a cultural touch?

Tokyo Guide : Kappabashi Dogugai (河童橋道具街)
Kappabashi Dogugai (合羽橋道具街) is the largest cooking tool district in Japan, located adjacent to the Asakusa area.
Established in the Taisho era (1912-1926), Kappabashi Dogugai developed as a wholesale district for cooking utensils, tableware, and other items for the restaurant industry, and is now lined with nearly 200 stores, making it a tourist attraction visited by people from Japan and abroad.

Tokyo Guide : HIGASHIYA GINZA
Not just tea — this is a full seasonal kaiseki experience paired with rare Japanese teas. Only in Ginza.
HIGASHIYA GINZA is a modern Japanese tea salon located in the heart of Tokyo’s Ginza district. It beautifully blends traditional Japanese hospitality with a contemporary design. The café offers a refined experience centered around Japanese tea and seasonal cuisine.
On the day, our entire family had lunch together. My husband, my son, and I had the “Ichiju Sansai” course, while my daughter was served a set of rice balls and miso soup.
The “Ichiju Sansai” course included white rice, a hearty kenchin-jiru soup filled with root vegetables, a main dish made with red fish, three side dishes featuring seafood and seasonal vegetables, as well as nukazuke pickles and a simmered dish of kelp and shiitake mushrooms. We were full in no time.
