When I'm eating chicken with a bone in it, there's a moment when the chicken becomes a bird. I'm not good with that.

On my days off, I often work at the Nishiogi sauna. I realized the disconnect as I was writing that.

My current editor gave me salmon roe, and my previous editor gave me grapes. Both are round and squishy!

I like root beer. I love it when Okinawa-style restaurants have a root beer sour.

I grilled and ate a saury. It's so weird how many delicious things there are in nature.

If I open a bag of gummies, I get so obsessed that I can’t focus on work. I end up eating the whole bag in about ten minutes.
