		<description><![CDATA[To celebrate the completion of a recent project, I was invited out for dinner with the choice of restaurant being left up to me. After some pondering, I decided on the yakiniku (grilled beef) restaurant, Hiro in Ponto-cho (京の焼肉処 弘 &#124; 先斗町店). I have been there a number of times and the other Hiro locations, &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spring has arrived already in Kyoto. I mean, if you are indoors. (And, we just had Japanese New Year&#8217;s a few too short weeks ago.) Today I was down at wildman Yohei Izutsu&#8216;s corporate HQ and when I walked into the lobby of the building I was spirited away by the fragrance of plum blossoms. &#8230;]]></description>

I was with chef Brendon Edwards, we were biking back in the mid-winter cold from a pork wholesaler waaaay down in south Kyoto preparing to make &#8216;Epic Sausage&#8216;.

		<description><![CDATA[DREADFUL!! I have had some amazing wine from New Zealand so when I saw this Kiwi Walk sparkling wine on the shelf, I grabbed it &#8211; much to my regret now. It tastes like sparkling &#8216;wine&#8217; made from grass. Not &#8216;notes of new-mown hay&#8217; taste of grass. No, just a full and encompassing musty grass &#8230;]]></description>

There are many kinds of Japanese New Year&#8217;s decorations. This one is quite common, it combines straw, fern leaves and a tangerine. I was surprised that it lasted so long, &#8230;]]></description>
