Always coming and always going, yet always right here. Joined this site a year ago while I was living and working in Japan, but have since returned to the States...my heart and energy now go into dancing and drumming with the Kissidugu West African percussion and dance troupe in Boulder. The rest of the time I work for a spice shop (if you need cacao nibs or Celtic salt, I've got the hookup!)

Hi! I don't know if I can make it sunday. I have to work at 1:00 :( Your sea weed salad was so amazing! I'd love the recipe, even if I have to make it with non-Japanese sea weed.
Hi Leilacita,
I have lost your message about coming to Tokyo, but I think you said you were going to be passing through for a few days, and that you were looking for a place to crash. You are welcome to stay here, but I warn you that I live in a dorm and my room is a 6 mat room. If you don't mind squeezing in, you are welcome to stay a few nights. I even have an extra futon.
Hello, Leilacita!
I read your message to Raw Japan. I wish I could give you a couch but my place is too tiny. I'm sure you will be able to find some place to crush in, though. There is a hostel in Yoyogi, just in case.

I like persimmons and natto!
Have a fun trip to Nikko!
It must be rough being raw or even partly raw in Japan with all of the delicious food around you 24/7. Especially in Osaka. Maybe someone will come up with a raw recipe for Okonomiyaki. I know the stuff is horrible for you but it used to be one of my favorites when I lived in Japan. O-genki de ne
