YUCa’s maternity leave :
Sep 1st, 2019 – Nov 12th, 2019


The fall has come ! At the good timing, many pears from my hometown has also come! I especially love them because they are so sweet and sounds “Shaki-shaki” (crispy) !!! As you see, my family cannot eat all of it in a short period so I usually serve in my cooking class and also give to the neighbors every year!

Visited the local farmers market Hocchi Ichiba in Karuizawa. 🚙
So many unique, rare and fresh veggies that I have never seen and tasted! 😆
I finally understand that Karuizawa area is famous for veggie foods (including French cuisine by Japanese chefs!👩🏻🍳 👨🍳)
Good food research!


After visiting Suwa city, we moved to Karuizawa city by car. It took almost 2 hours so we enjoyed the scenery from the car. On the way to the hotel in Karuizawa, we visited amazing shop & restaurant called Jinen-ya! They serves macrobiotic food, gluten-free food, vegetarian food, organic food and Japanese style vegan food! 😋 Highly recommend if you are interested in discovering more Japanese food !!!

I donated some money to the local shrine since my family visit often when we going for a walk.
As a return, they created special lantern with my name on it. COOL!
