The Traditional Japanese Experience is about intimate teaching where all can come and experience Japanese Culture by engaging in traditional activities.

One of my favourite stores in Canada is .
They take so much pride in their products and they work so hard to maintain the integrity of their merchandise. Very awe inspiring!

We came across this poke and salad place. It was super.
However, it’s very weird to me to see uni in Canada, with Canadians eating it up. When we first moved to Canada in the early 90’s, not only did we encounter a lot of racism, but the thought of any sort of Japanese food was much too ethnic for the Canadian palate.
People were disgusted by the thought of eating seaweed or raw seafood! Uni was not even seen as edible except within European or Asian communities. I am glad for the change in perception and the appreciation for different types of cuisines. It makes for very delicious exploration.

I was visiting my son in British Columbia and decided to drop in to surprise the BC gang!
I was so happy to see everyone again!

My favorite bakery in Toronto. I always enjoy walking to caabagetowb, but I particularly like the baked goods from here!

Went to yesterday to take a look at all the fresh produce. I found these in a grocer.... I’ve never seen sea asparagus before. How intriguing. I wonder how you eat these?

New Years from 55 years ago. My house and my family’s restaurant front. It was an annual tradition for the geishas who frequented our restaurant to come greet us for the new year. I am in the front with my brother, neighbourhood friend and my mother is in the back left. The other ladies are geishas and our nannies. My father took this photo.
The bamboo decoration was an annual tradition as well. Every year the pieces were made longer and longer to signify growth of the business, they were only reset once the heigh exceeded the gates of the property. My father went out to the woods with a woodworker every year to choose that year’s bamboo.
