chip, its a distant 'relative' of the wonderful chawan you have w/keawe (mesquite) biidoro.

debunix. thank you kindly ! the sparkly drops are actually applied mesquite (hawaiian keawe ash). amazing when fired. turns to little globules of green glass.

mahalo

interesting & tasty okashi (japanese sweets)

its called 'seiko', not like the watch company. its made with renkon (lotus root flour) and 'wasanbon' like a brown sugar.

its translucent and has a silky, sweet, caramel-like flavor. delicious and balanced with matcha.

Cory,

Nice find! I've never seen one of those in Japan. Looks like a good one.

I have bought great torches there... have two of their heads here in the USA sitting in my studio. But I unfortunately can't find propane cylinders that match the threading of the Japanese connections in the USA.

And the airlines would probably frown on propane cylinders stuffed into my luggage. :lol: :lol: :lol:

best,
