Pleasures

Chu toro or oro toro Nigiri: it’s always 20 dollars a piece but I can’t get enough. I wish I was Rihanna and could buy as much as I want but I always limit myself to two and get a miso soup to fill me up hahahaha

Buckwheat tea: I love how deep it tastes if that makes sense. It’s so cleansing. Always the perfect thing to drink.

A peaceful subway ride: this is so rare so when it happens I’m so happy. I don’t actually mind the subway but I hate the goings on on the subway

The Noguchi museum: I’m obsessed with all things Japanese and this as close as I can get to going to Kyoto on a Sunday and I love the gift shop. I bought a wind bell the other day
