This is my food blog and I created this as a part of my food culture class I'm taking at a private Japanese university in Tokyo. I am planning to post on a weekly basis about food. I am a university student in Japan, and I have interest in different kinds of food and food culture.  I used to live in the States for four years and in the Philippines for three years, so I have been exposed to various food cultures. I hope I can share a lot of things including my experience through this blog!
