“Saké” Cedar Park, 2025
There is nothing better than opening a brand new bottle of beautiful Japanese saké. Kanpai!

My son Bay is really into coffee, and he picked up this limited edition bag of beans. I am waiting for him to open it so I can grab a cup or two of pour-over. The design on the bag is pretty cool, right?

A couple of days ago I mentioned that pizza is one of our comfort foods. Well, tonight we had another favorite – Japanese curry! This one was a classic mix of beef, carrots, and potatoes. I think there’s enough left for two more family meals, which is always a win. It’s the best!

These pretty rolls are part of a new recipe Mariko’s been working on. She says they still need a little tweaking, but even these “test versions” were absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to taste the final perfected batch!
