RIP Sayaka Kanda

23 December 2021 - 12:30 AM

It continues: another apparent celebrity suicide in Japan. I never thought of her as being close to an A-list celebrity and yet was very surprised to see the number of projects to her name and amount of work she was doing at the present time. She appeared adjusted even being the only child of a very famous marriage (and subsequent divorce). Man, you never can tell.

 

And it's brutal that both Seiko and Masaki Kanda have to appear in front of dozens of flashbulbs, in the depths of grief. But I suppose it's the business they both signed up for.

 

 

 

RIP, Sayaka...


Japanese Food

Anyone who has followed me around the intarwebs knows of my love for Japanese food. Sushi, ramen, yakitori... My favorite cuisine in all the heavens. OK I haven't tried *all* the varieties of natto but not everyone's palette is perfect.

 

In this thread I'm gonna share images of great food pr0n from all over: my local digs in Honolulu, Tokyo, Osaka, Hokkaido... I invite everyone to do the same.

 

Here's an oldie but goodie: a grand sushi platter from my favorite hometown izakaya, Gaku.

In fall 2014 I visited an online friend who took me to *her* neighborhood sushi restaurant. A few of us split this grand platter:

There really isn't anything like sushi in Japan. You don't have to splurge major yen to have good quality stuff. And these local places are so friendly and relatable.
