Studio Wedding Photo
Here’s a sample of the photos we went to take in Kobe last month. I got Nam’s permission to post just one; the rest will be kept as a surprise until the wedding. I think they turned out pretty well.

Reposado de Kanpai
Look what’s on my desk today: It’s inspiring me! I can just feel the heavenly little molecules of fermented 100% blue agave goodness inside the bottle, inside this can. Yes, that’s right, it’s a whole liter of Cazadores, straight from Jalisco. Normally, we can’t even get this stuff in Japan.

It is also the main reason to keep using a kerosene heater. I must admit, however, this isn’t actually a nabe – it’s chicken ramen. The egg was in the refrigerator, so I was warming it before throwing it on top of the noodles for perfect consistency.
