Itadakimasssu! 🙏

One of the best ways to get to know a culture is through the food. In Japanese, いただきます literally means “I humbly recieve”. Tofugu has a whole page about it if you want to learn more but essentially, it means “ty, now, GET THIS FOOD IN MY BELLY”! So, this page is dedicated to all things food! From a grocery survival guide, to recipes from fellow JETs, you’ll (hopefully) find everything you need to help you have the best food experience while living here in Ehime. 

Shopping Guides 🛒

New to living in Japan? Or even just living on your own for the first time!? Grocery shopping in a new country can be a bit daunting, this guide will help you navigate the aisles of your local supermarket so you can stock your fridge and pantry with ease. We gotchu! (Coming Soon)

While not exactly food related (except for maybe when you underestimate the spice level at Everest or if you eat sashimi you’ve left in your fridge a little toooo long), we felt that a “Drug Store Guide” would be just as useful as a grocery guide.
