I keep this blog for friends, family and students in Japan& the U.S.

Since Spring '07, Zen and Taka moved to California full time for Zen's basketball career. I'm in California most of the time right now too. Almost every day I go to help my Grandmom. She was born in 1919. Taka and I also get to work for Uncle Lynn's landscaping company. Santa Cruz, California. As beautiful as ever. However I still feel homesick for Japan~~

Here's to MOCHI and the NEW YEAR!!!

Hey here's a photo of me and Japanese Mochi at a California Natural Foods Store.
The only mochi I could find in town~and I AM happy!!

These mochi were really-interesting! you can see the flavors?!
(If you click on the photos you can get close ups)
"Cashew Date"- SWEET!!　Also "Raisin- Cinnamon" mochi, and "CHOCOLATE BROWNIE"!!!
Then, the SAVORY mochi:
"Sesame Garlic" (ごまとににく！！）"SEEDY" (種なの）and simply PLAIN! Wow huh?!

For my american friends~ Japanese only have white mochi (plain) and a green mochi made with YOMUGI- which is called MUGWORT in the U.S. Not a strong flavor at all.
