Thank you for your continued support 🌿

Living in Mashiko, Tochigi Prefecture, on a still cold day with snow remaining.
I visited the house of former cafe owner Yoshie Shinoda again.

She taught me a recipe that will warm you from the core during the cold winter months.
Rich and creamy gratin, bean-flavored hummus, and refreshing apple dessert.
Everything was really delicious.
Please try making it too 😊

I feel like I saw the answer to keeping her mind and body healthy in Yoshie's lifestyle of facing nature.
It warmed her heart and made her realize something important.

Spring is coming to Mashiko soon🌸
