About Me
- obachan
- Muroto, Kochi, Japan
- "OBACHAN" means a "middle-aged woman" or "aunty" in Japanese. .*************************. Having moved back to my hometown in April 2009, I live in one of the desperately underpopulated areas in Japan now. Let me share my life in a real countryside with aging parents living in the same house. And here in Muroto -- the place where I chose to live -- you can hear the heartbeat of the Earth! ;)

Mmmm, bagels and lox. Yummy and no cooking necessary. :) It's so funny how different cultures see the same food. Jewish people in America and Japanese think this is good food, but you should have seen the disgusted expression on the face of a friend from El Salvador when I tried to explain lox and pickled herring! :0
> Jonny --- At that time the only way for me to get bagels was buying some frozen ones at Foreign Buyers’ Club in Rokko Island, Hyogo. (I lived in Kansai at that time.) I heard someone who ate bagels in SF loved it so much and, after coming back to Japan, opened Macou’s in Kagawa pref. The one in Kochi opened in 2002. Yeah, things changed. I’m so happy about this change.
> Annie --- I still remember how disgusted my friends were when I made them try some dried seaweed in Pennsylvania, US. I used to think the cultural barrier in eating habits was very rigid…until I got into foodblogging and found people all over the world who are open to foods from different cultures and enjoy experimenting/adopting new ideas.
Hey .. Obachan.. :)
We've got the same taste in bagel.. raisin and cinnamom.. and salmon.. and cream cheese.. YUMS..!!!
And i cannot agree with you more about being rigid with food.. ! During Chloe's birthday.. i made some fried udon.. with tofu.. kailan.. and chicken.. but it took quite alot of coaxing.. before anyone would try it.. *sigh*.. oh well..!
Yeah, that happens… but it feels good if some, or even just one of them liked the food and ask you to make that food again, right?
Heheheh..!! ya.. but none asked me.. how to make it.. and they said.. it was so-so.. :( i was so sad.. heh!!
