  1. I do want to try and get to Enryaku-ji and Hieisan - even if from the Biwa side cablecar and not from #Kyoto
    Last time had a great view form Shoden-ji - with Hieisan in the distance - what a garden and borrowed landscape use there!

  4. Ferry to Shimabara on a foggy drizzly afternoon - destination up ahead!
    Not the best weather for it that day but the ferry ride and side trip between Kumamoto and Nagasaki was such a super memorable part of my trip in 2023

  7. Here's another pic from my Shimabara #Japan trip
    View from the embrasure around the compound walls of #ShimabaraCastle in the (not too early) morning - it was still quiet and empty though.

  8. Some pics from last year/this year [2023→2024] NYE that we could celebrate in Kobe*
    Still so grateful for that opportunity and time 🙏🏽 #DiJP
    Kids learned to put on their own kimonos (and researched and bought their own with their allowance 😭)

    *Pics and short thread from when we were there:

  9. Following that bus ride☝🏽 to MinamiShimabara, I did have a bit of time after my appointment at the Sake brewery and the next bus back to Shimabara. Not a lot so I rushed a fair bit to get to the pier and water and take some pics in between.

    Wishing all a week with some peace 🙏🏾

  12. Oh from 1 yr ago today - the one splurge #Kaiseki #dinner we saved up for - in #Kyoto
    Partner and I had been there in 2016, last year we all (including kids) went for lunch and then later sans kids, for dinner.

    This was the first of, let's see, 12 courses set in of me

  15. Taking of boozy* - it'll never not be funny (to me and kids as well) that last year while in #Kobe #Japan we used to walk past, almost daily, these 3 establisments called: Le Boozy, Bread and Boozy Makers, and Bar Collapsing. 😃

  16. 2/2 There's a lot I can tell you about that morning and day, and food and then night view (and adventure getting to it), but right that morning at the Suwa Jinja, everything was worth it.
    The great egret (white heron) that was there for a bit returned while I was at the temple cafe next to the pond and then strutted, waded a bit. I waited 45 mins or so in the drizzle under a tiny tree (didn't help) waiting to see if it would spread it's wings - and it did, to hop up to the bank.
    Aah!

  17. On our #Japan trip last year, I got just 1 day to myself in #Nagasaki (besides the evening I landed, rest was work). Woke up after somewhat late and tiring (work)day and it was a wet drizzly morning. Still I ventured out (I was prepared, rainjacket and cover for my backpack) and visited a few places [I walked and walked and walked]

    Miserable weather but turned out to be a most memorable day. (see next - you'll be rewarded too)

  18. CW: Booze (home #Chemistry)

    And this mix of ingredients is the same I made in our apartment in Kobe around this time. Mezcal I had taken with me - campari and vermouth procured there. Hey 3x and a fancier drink at the end of it. (Yes I took the toasted oak with me)

  21. 3/3
    Ok so of course we didn't finish all that. Had about ⅘ a tray left when put together to take back
    (On the bus + train/subway) - #Amagasaki back to Kobe

    And yes, we had and the kids especially enjoyed #Sushi for #breakfast

    #DiJP #Food
    /end
    (will spare you more of my #Costco #Japan pics, we got a lot of stuff there but just what we could carry in backpacks, and there was a rice cooker!)

  22. I know I know it's #Japan #Costco #sushi and there's plenty of that online.
    Here's more 😄

    A long time ago I had made a pact with the kids - they would never ask me for grocery store sushi (unless in Japan) and I would grant them their wish.

    Anyways for ~US$40 (2023 rates) you get a whole big tray of sushi - with ikura!!
    So yes kid1 got her own tray.
    We let Kid2 have a run of the other tray before partner and I had some.
    Excellent birthday sushi meal - check out that smile!

  24. Daikon oroshi / grated daikon
    I would use a box grater small holes before but picked this implement up in Japan last yr - nothing fancy, it was just among the first things from the closest discount store (daiso). Nice to use it again - it does work quite a bit better than box grater or zester type grater (microplane doesn't work well for this).
    Squeeze out juice from the daikon and use
