We’re gathering momentum! Not long until we can afford our ticket to Aomori! Please forgive me if I reply slightly late, I’m away during Golden Week for my best friend’s wedding, but I’ll get in as and when I can.
For the time being, here’s a quiz for any kanji otakus out there, especially those who love food.

茼

For the record, my calligraphy teacher couldn’t even read this so I’d 100% forgive you if you have absolutely no idea what this is, but here’s a couple of hints:

• it goes very well in a nabe (Japanese hot pot) or as tempura with salt.
• it is usually written as two seperate kanji, which would make it much easier to read.
• it’s eaten in the autumn in Japan.

Have fun!
