Kyoto photographer Kosuke Okuda and I teamed up to do an article for the Russian travel magazine Afisha Mir (Афиша-Мир). I just got a PDF of the article — hot off the server!
In the article I introduced the long history of Aritsugu which was founded in 1560. Aritsugu is one of the most famous makers of traditional Japanese knives and they are found in good kitchens all over Japan. We focused on the special eel bone cutting ‘honegiri’ knife that is used for the traditional Kyoto summer delicacy of ‘hamo’ pike eel. The knife is over 40 cm long, weighs more that 500 gm and costs more than $1,000 USD!
I wrote it, but I can’t read it!!

A package arrived via the refrigerated transport courier. My friend Toru, in Sendai who came to visit recently sent me some Sendai omiyage (souvenir): Zunda Mochi. I had first had this sweet when I came to Japan and visited Toru in Sendai. It was so good I had to order a second helping! Zunda mochi is mochi covered in a sweet paste of young green soybeans. This KyotoFoodie article has more info and better photos.
