If your bento doesn’t make you smile, might I suggest making a little bee egg or an octopus sausage? 🐝🐙
I used my @hexclad Japanese egg pan and rice pot to put together a little bento for a picnic today since the cherry blossoms are in full bloom! 🌸

Both of these pans have recently launched in the US, and I’ve been loving how versatile they are. I made the fluffiest rice, tamagoyaki, steamed broccoli, and sautéed all of my bento items! ✨

Now the real question is… are you team sweet or savory tamagoyaki??

Who knew eating a tiny hanami dango 350m up in the sky would bring me so much joy! 🌸
It also helped that we got to see beautiful beautiful Fuji-san🗻

You can now enjoy the adorable sakura menu at the @tokyoskytree_global cafe until April 14th!
The delicious donuts are actually gluten-free and vegan so there are options for people with food intolerances as well ⭐

Have you ever been to the top of Tokyo Skytree?

地上350mの空の上で、こんなに小さな花見団子にこんなに幸せを感じるなんて…！🌸

I’ve been baking a lot these past few months and I feel like my friends and family who have birthdays in the months of December through May definitely get my prettier cake creations solely because I get to use strawberries 🍓😅

ここ数ヶ月はケーキやお菓子をよく作っていて、
12月から5月生まれの私の友達や家族は、いちごが使えるおかげで、
いつもよりちょっと見た目がいいケーキを作れているかもって最近気づいた🍓😅

Who knew the sweet pup I BEGGED my parents to get

Who knew the sweet pup I BEGGED my parents to get at a shopping mall 19 years ago would be with me through all my schools, different homes, my first job, becoming an adult, moving countries, every single tear and COUNTLESS naps.
We grew up together and it’s actually stupid how obsessed my entire family is with this fluffy white adorable soul dog of ours ❤️

Tears will keep being shed, I think forever? But it’s because we loved him so unbelievably much, and for that, I am so grateful for every day we had with little Luke 💕

Someone told me that when dogs cross the rainbow bridge, they get to run around endless fields and play fetch—but Luke would only fetch things if you had a treat waiting for him (eep he is definitely my dog 😂) so I REALLY hope his heaven looks like him sleeping on the softest cushion, with a bottomless bowl of treats next to him whenever he wants 😅

So to my forever baby Lukey 🌈
I will think of you with every crumb that drops to the floor that you would INHALE as if you hadn’t eaten in your entire life, or with every puffy jacket you somehow dragged onto the floor and made your bed. It’s quiet during mealtimes here without you scratching your food bowl, and I don’t really know yet what to hold instead of you when things get really really hard. But I’ll carry the memories of life with you for 19 years for the rest of my life and you can bet even my future grandkids will also know everything about you!

When I get to hold you again and kiss you on the bridge of your nose, I’ll bring you carrots and mom’s homemade bread, okay? 💕

19年前、ショッピングモールで親にお願いして迎えたあの子が、
学校も、引っ越しも、初めての仕事も、日本での生活も、
たくさんの涙も、数えきれないお昼寝も、
全部一緒に過ごしてくれた。
私たちは一緒に成長して、家族みんなが大好きでたまらない大切な子❤️

これからも涙はずっと出ると思う。
でもそれだけどうしようもないくらい愛してたってことだから、
ルークと過ごした毎日に心から感謝してる 💕

犬は虹の橋を渡ると野原でボール遊びできるって言われたけど、
ルークはおやつがないとボール取ってきてくれない子だったからどうしようw （完全に私の子😂）
その代わりに、ふかふかのクッションの上で、好きなだけおやつを食べながらのんびりしてるといいな😅

私の可愛いルークちゃんへ🌈
床にパンくずが落ちるたびに、まるで一生ごはんもらってないみたいな勢いで全部食べてたり、
ダウンジャケットがあると、いつの間にかそれがベッドになしてた可愛い姿を毎日思い出しているよ。
ごはんの時間にお皿をカリカリする音がしなくなって寂しい、
しんどい時はいつもルークを抱きしめてたのに、
今は代わりにどうすればいいか、まだ分からない。
でも19年間の思い出はこれからの人生ずっと大切にするし、
将来の私の孫たちにもルークの話をするよw。

また会えて、鼻にキスできる日が来たら、にんじんとママの手作りパン、ちゃんと持っていくね？💕

Did you know that the name HI-CHEW comes from “high-grade chewing candy”? ✨
They have evolved SO much since I had them as a kid and there are so many different textures and flavors!
These Japan-exclusive flavors can be found at Don Quijote stores in Japan, so be sure to swing by the HI-CHEW section during your snack souvenir shopping! 🤩
Also, I can confirm that I got a “medium fortune” right after filming this, so not all of them are “daikichi” 😂 but I guess I was extra lucky this time 🎉

This was just last December.
It still doesn’t feel real that you’re gone 💔

To Lukey, my soul dog & my whole entire heart —
Thank you for giving me the best 19 years of my life
and for showing me what unconditional love looks like ❤️

「ルークちゃんを産んでくれたママに、
私にいちばん幸せな19年をくれたこと、
感謝してもしきれないって伝えておいてね。
これからも一生、恋しいよ。」

無条件の愛を教えてくれた、
私の大切なルークちゃんへ。
幸せな19年をありがとう。
ずっと大好きだよ❤️

This Japanese “drinkable beauty serum” called

This Japanese “drinkable beauty serum” called amazake has been a staple for me ever since I started my Japanese food fermentation series ✨

If you’re new here, hi! 👋 I’m Lina — a food fermentation instructor who is slightly obsessed with all things koji (Japan’s national mold) 🍚

Today we’re making amazake, a traditional Japanese fermented rice drink that’s naturally sweet and full of enzymes, amino acids, vitamin B, and folic acid. It’s often said to support skin health, digestion, and immunity!

But honestly, health benefits aside, I just love the flavor. Amazake has this naturally sweet, creamy taste that adds such a beautiful depth of flavor to cooking and baking, which is why I love using it in so many recipes.

In this video I’m partnering again with @gohan_japan_tanica to show you their amazake enzyme, which makes the whole process so easy.

All you need to do is mix rice and water, sprinkle the enzyme on top, and let it ferment at 60°C for 6 hours using the Yogurtia fermentation device.

⚠️ Quick tip if you try making this:
If the rice is too hot, the enzymes won’t work properly. Just mix in the water first so the rice cools down a bit before adding the amazake enzyme.

For this batch I used 50ml of water, which creates the sweetest and creamiest amazake. I especially love this consistency when using amazake for baking and cooking 🍰
I use it to make the amazake chocolate banana oatmeal muffins 🍌🍫 and the recipe is pinned in the comments if you’d like to try it!

For the next month you can also get 15% off the Yogurtia fermentation device and amazake enzyme on Amazon using my code TANICALINA15 🎉 I added the Amazon links to my bio if you'd like to try it!

The @gohan_japan_tanica page also shares lots of great ideas for using koji in everyday cooking, so definitely check them out!

And as always, feel free to ask me anything about koji, amazake, or fermentation — I love talking about this stuff 💛

PART 2 of trying to recreate the unforgettable Ron

PART 2 of trying to recreate the unforgettable Ronchanty which was this chocolate strawberry cream dessert that I got at the Amour du Chocolat which is the largest Valentine’s Day chocolate festival in Japan!

Not sure why I was so surprised the most simple whipped cream would taste the most similar to the original 😂 but I had to try out the different flavors just for fun as well 🙃

Thanks for your patience with the posts by the way ❤️ feeling so thankful for all of the love you’ve all been sending my family and I 💕

ロンシャンティを再現してみるシリーズ PART 2🍓🍫

でもせっかくなので、いろんな味も試してみました🙃

My Grandma Kazu was a Japanese geisha doll maker f

My Grandma Kazu was a Japanese geisha doll maker for over 70 years, and she even started her own doll-making company while raising three kids. She was invited to do live demonstrations around the world, and the dolls she created received many awards and are now displayed in exhibits and homes worldwide!
At a time when very few women owned businesses, she took risks and paved her own path. She chased her dreams and truly showed me what it means to live life to the fullest✨

Growing up in the US, I didn’t get to spend much time with my grandparents, so moving to Japan four years ago and finally getting to live with and take care of Grandma Kazu meant everything to me. Many of you found my page through the videos I would post with her and she loved seeing people comment from all over the world!💕
Taste tests with her were so fun and cooking for her was my absolute favorite because she just loved to eat and she would praise my cooking SO much haha 🥹

After being diagnosed with cancer last year, her health declined quickly, but she would always give me the biggest smile and talk about how blessed of a life she had lived 🥲

Grandma Kazu,
Moving to Japan to spend time with you was one of the best decisions of my life, and I will forever be thankful for the memories we got to share.
You have always been my biggest cheerleader, and I hope I can continue to make you proud.
I’ll miss you more than you will ever know, but I know you’re watching over me always ❤️
Thank you for all the laughs and memories.
大好きだよ 🫶🏻

おばあちゃんは、70年以上日本人形を作り続けてきた人形師で、3人の子どもを育てながら自分の人形の会社も立ち上げました。世界各地に招かれて実演をすることもあり、おばあちゃんが作った人形はたくさんの賞を受賞していて、今も世界中の展示やお家に飾られています。

あの時代に自分の会社を持つ女性はまだ少なくて、おばあちゃんは自分の道を切り開いてきた人で、本当にすごいと思います。夢を追いかけて、常に人生を楽しんでいました✨

私はアメリカで育ったので、子どもの頃は祖父母と過ごす時間があまり多くありませんでした。だから4年前に日本に引っ越してきて、おばあちゃんと一緒に暮らしてそばで過ごせた時間は私にとって本当に特別でした。
おばあちゃんとの動画で私のページを見つけてくれた方も多いと思います。世界中の人がコメントしてくれるのを、おばあちゃんもとても喜んでいました！💕

味見動画も楽しかったし、食べることが大好きなおばあちゃんのために料理を作るのも楽しくて、私の料理もいつもたくさん褒めてくれました🥹

去年ガンと診断されてから体調は急に悪くなってしまいましたが、それでもいつも大きな笑顔で「本当に幸せな人生だった」と話してくれていました🥲

おばあちゃん、

おばあちゃんと過ごすために日本に来たことは、私の人生で一番よかった決断の一つです。
一緒に過ごした時間や思い出は、これからもずっとずっと大切な宝物です。
きっと今も空の上から見守ってくれているよね❤️
たくさんの笑いと思い出を本当に本当にありがとう。
大好きだよ 🫶🏻

Who else is getting some “my choco” this year? 🍫💕

I got the courage to go to Amour du Chocolat again this year which is the largest valentine’s day chocolate festival in Japan at the Takashimaya mall in Nagoya. The lines here are INSANE it feels like I am at an amusement park!

Thankfully my cousin was my tour guide this year and showed me some of her favorites that I will do a taste test of in my next video! ✨

Are you buying “giri choco”, “honmei choco” or “my choco” this year? 💖

今年はマイチョコ買う人いる？🍫💕

今年も勇気を出して、名古屋の高島屋で開催されている日本最大級のバレンタインチョコレートの祭典、アムール・デュ・ショコラに行ってきました！
とにかく行列がすごすぎて、まるで遊園地にいるみたい…！

今年はいとこが案内してくれて、おすすめのお店もたくさん教えてもらいました✨
次の動画でテイストテストする予定です！

みんなは今年、義理チョコ？本命チョコ？それともマイチョコ？💖

Has anyone successfully done this before? 🤣 May

Has anyone successfully done this before? 🤣 Maybe I need to make my ehomaki a LOT smaller lol.

みんなはちゃんと恵方巻きを一気に無言で食べれてるの🤣
来年はめちゃくちゃ小さいの作ろうww

Apparently the idea behind closing your eyes or not speaking while you eat the ehomaki is to make sure the luck doesn’t escape you 😅 which is also why after you throw the roasted soybeans out the door or window, you want to quickly close the door or window to not let any of the luck out! Okay luck move a little slower please! 🫠😂
Anyways, happy spring 🌸 and wish me luck on building up all of my luck instead for this year a different way! ✨

恵方巻きを食べるときに目を閉じたり、喋らずに食べるのは、運が逃げないようにするためらしい😅
だから豆まきで炒り豆を外に投げたあとも、運が外に出ちゃわないように、すぐにドアや窓を閉めるんだって！
ちょっと待って、運…動き早すぎない？🫠😂
ということで、春も近づいてきたし🌸
今年はまた違う形で、運をたくさん積み上げていくためにがんばります！✨
