Daddy ! Daddy ! Do !

I first caught wind of Masayuki Suzuki’s songs as the opening to the Kaguya-sama: Love is War anime series. This one has a weird title at first, but damn if it isn’t catchy.

Salmon Ochazuke

Exhausted and parched after my desert hike.

Crab Rice Train Bento

Tottori Sand Museum

It’s beautiful, intricate, and yet ephemeral, as the exhibits get rebuilt every year, with changing themes (this year it’s Ancient Egypt). Considering there isn’t a solid barrier separating visitors from exhibits, I’m quite surprised someone hasn’t simply pummelled the sand yet.

Sizzling Okonomiyaki @ Iroha

Came back with a few other people after a fun experience with monjayaki back in 2020. Ate some okonomiyaki in addition this time.
