  • Housekeeping in Japan Now Down the Rabbit Hole of Cleaning We Go
    Housekeeping in Japan Welcome to Kumamoto! We’re excited to have you joining our community. You’ve been here for a few weeks now, which probably means you’ve: 1) experienced the omnipresent black bear that is Kumamon, 2) moved into your new place, and 3) started settling into your new life. So we don’t blame you if housekeeping isn’t at the top of your priority list. After all, who really wants to clean? But alas, you will eventually need to clean your place. It is inevitable and necessary, especially in Japan. Why? Because when you put poorly insulated homes in a country that has a harsh climate (and a lot of bugs), you learn (pretty quickly) that cleaning can be a lot of work. With a little bit of knowledge, however, you can be prepared to conquer all that needs to be cleaned in Japan. This document is going to be broken down into the following sections: 1. Tatami (pg. 2 – 6) 6. Summer & Rainy Season 2. Bedding (pg. 7 - 8) Challenges (pg. 18 - 20) 3. Washrooms (pg. 9 - 12) 7. Winter Challenges (pg. 21 - 23) 4. Kitchens (pg. 13 - 14) 8. Pests (pg. 24 - 27) 5. Laundry (pg. 15 - 17) 9. Air Conditioner (pg. 28 - 31) Q: Where did she get all this information? / A: I’m not even going to pretend like I had all of this information stored in my head! For this document, I looked all over the internet to find my information. All of the credit goes to the people whose articles, blogs, and websites I gathered information from.

The Japanese have a proud inn keeping tradition that dates back to the Edo period. Staying at a traditional Japanese inn is like immersing oneself into a facet of traditional Japanese culture that foreign travelers seldom see. Entering a classic Japanese inn is like stepping into a an oasis of tranquility, soothed by the soft light seeping through paper shoji screens and the elegant minimalism of tatami-floored rooms. The ryokan experience is worlds away from the staying in sterile, concrete block hotels with flickering fluorescent lighting that mar the landscape of modern Japan. Almost all ryokan include dinner and breakfast along with the price of lodging, and many of the inns featured in the book are notable for the quality of their cuisine as well as their charming atmosphere and refined service. They are the perfect getaway destination for intrepid travelers searching for something off the beaten path, residents in Japan looking for a retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life, and for adventurous epicureans in quest of local delicacies in lush surroundings.

    Scattered: The Assimilation of Sushi, the Internment of Japanese Americans, and the Killing of Vincent Chin, A Personal Essay Frank H. Wu† ABSTRACT In a personal Essay, Frank H. Wu discusses the acceptance of sushi in America as a means of analyzing the acceptance of Japanese Americans, before, during, and after World War II. The murder of Vincent Chin in Detroit in 1982 is used as a defining moment for Asian Americans, explaining the shared experiences of people perceived as “perpetual foreigners.” ABSTRACT ......................................................................................... 109 INTRODUCTION ................................................................................. 109 I.“BORN IN THE U.S.A.” .................................................................... 114 II.DISCOVERING CHIRASHI ............................................................... 117 III.RECOVERING THE INTERNMENT .................................................. 120 CONCLUSION ..................................................................................... 126 INTRODUCTION Coming of age as the Japanese economy was coming to be envied for its rise, I started eating sushi when Americans were just willing, curiosity overcoming disgust inexorably, to sample it, chopsticks and all.1 The late DOI: https://doi.org/10.15779/Z38KD1QK94 †.

  • Breakaway Japanese Kitchen
    Praise for Eric Gower’s BREAKAWAY JAPANESE KITCHEN ___________ “Eric Gower’s cooking freely mixes Japanese ingredients and Western ideas, but don’t call it fusion. He thinks of his cooking as a break with sometimes limiting traditions, and the title of his cookbook—The Breakaway Japanese Kitchen: Inspired New Tastes— perfectly expresses that philosophy.” —Sunset Magazine “Japanese and fusion are two cuisines that make me nervous. One is daunting and the other usually a disaster. But the best new book I’ve cooked from in months dabbles in both—and nothing is lost in translation . A mad-scientist approach . amazing . gorgeously photographed . Gower borrows concepts and tastes to produce Western food with just enough Eastern exoticism . lively . a wonderment . borders on brilliant . Like a photographer who knows his technique so well he will shoot out of focus for greater effect, Gower takes Japanese ingredients and concepts into territory undoubtedly never explored in Tokyo. Or California . At a time when originality seems to be the missing ingredient in far too many cookbooks, Breakaway Japanese Kitchen is a good cure for the comfort-food blues.” ―The Los Angeles Times "Here at last is the best of East and West. Eric Gower has combined the unique and subtle taste of Japan with the lusty cuisine of the West. The recipes are full of inspirational and simple ideas that are perfect for today's cook." —Ken Hom, best-selling cookbook author “California native Eric Gower recently returned after a decade or so in Japan exploring aspects of Japanese cooking―using shiso, ginger, sake and tofu, and fresh produce, fish and meats.
