Hi, This is muchi.

I believe every region has its own traditional local dishes—some tied to specific countries, others to broader regions, or sometimes to even smaller, local areas. Some are staple foods, while others might be sweets or snacks.

Personally, I really love these kinds of regional specialties now. But thinking back, I realize I didn’t enjoy those traditional foods much when I was a child—and neither did most of my friends. We all preferred things l...

Hi, This is muchi.

Just stepping outside for a little bit leaves me feeling foggy-headed lately.
It seems like the heat is intense all over the world, and I’ve heard there are regions where it's even led to fatalities. We’re doing our best to stay sharp and make it through this summer safely.

The other day, I attended a seminar led by a ballet instructor, focused on how to use the body correctly.
As a bodybuilder, I found it incredibly fascinating—and to sum it up, it ...

Hi, This is muchi.

The rainy season in Japan ended way too early this year, and now the scorching heat has arrived. I'm really worried about water shortages. Japan is usually rich in water resources, so Japanese people tend to be pretty extravagant with water usage. Honestly, if we ever truly run out of water, I don’t think I’d survive! lol

Speaking of the rainy season—when it comes to erotic manga, I always think of scenes like a girl's underwear getting soak...

Hi, This is muchi.

The other day, I went shopping at Costco with a friend.

On the way there, we stopped by a small café standing all alone in the middle of a wide stretch of rice fields and had their morning set.

In the region where I live, there's a local tradition at cafés: when you order a drink in the morning, they give you free toast and a boiled egg (or sometimes some...

Hi, This is muchi.

The rainy season has begun in our region as well.

Over the past few years, Japan's usual seasonal patterns have become less and less reliable. Even now, we're experiencing heatwaves that are far more intense than anything from a decade ago...

However, one possible cause of Japan's drastic climate changes—the shifting paths of ocean currents—is apparently returning to its previous state for the first time in several years.

Of course,...

Hi, This is muchi.

I mentioned previously that I had visited a hot spring town—and ever since then, I’ve become hooked on soaking in hot springs. So this time, I headed to another onsen spot.

It was relatively close by, but I had never been there before.

The sunset there was breathtakingly beautiful.

The places I’d visited before were all fairly urban, but this time the ...

Hi, This is muchi.

The prefecture where I was born and raised has many distinctive offshore islands. My hometown itself isn't located on one, but the sea has always felt very close.

The other day, on a sudden impulse, I finished work, hopped on a train, and caught the last ferry of the night. I spent the hours from midnight to early morning enjoying fishing on one of those islands.

It was a weekday night, and I was completely alone. Well, to be precise, ...

Hi, This is muchi.

In Japan, we have a long-standing culture of onsen (hot springs) and sento (public bathhouses).

These are large communal baths where everyone soaks in the hot water completely naked (of course, men and women are separated).

Ancient Rome is said to have had a similar tradition, but it still seems quite unique to foreign visitors. I often see tourists carefully checking the rules and etiquette before entering.

That said, while we’re use...

Hi, This is muchi.

The rainy season has begun here in Japan, and the humidity is starting to rise.

Of course, the women in our manga are always surrounded by high humidity—maybe it’s the rainy season all year round for them.

Especially… down there.

Looking at Japanese history and culture, it’s clear how much of it developed in response to this humid climate.

Hi, This is muchi.

I had the chance to visit Expo 2025, currently being held in Osaka, Japan.

Fortunately, Osaka is relatively close to where I live, so I decided to take the plunge and go.

I was able to see the Italian exhibits I mentioned in a previous post.

I was surprised at how close I could get to the works and how thoroughly I could take them in.

Hi, This is muchi.

I went for my routine dental checkup—once every three months.🦷

Japanese people are often said to be bad at dental hygiene, and honestly, I used to be one of them. That’s why I’ve been paying extra attention to my teeth in recent years.

Up until now, I hadn’t been told I was missing any spots, so I thought I was doing a perfect job.

But this time, they found a few areas I hadn’t been brushing well enough.

Hi, This is muchi.

In Japan, this time of year is filled with multiple holidays, so many people take long vacations. With the pleasant weather, it’s one of the busiest seasons for tourism and leisure activities.

Since places get crowded and prices tend to rise, for people like us who aren’t tied to the calendar, staying home quietly might be the best option.

As usual, I’ve been going back and forth between home and the gym.

Hi, This is muchi.

I often go to the sea, but until now, I had never encountered a sea turtle.

But finally, I came across one swimming in a fishing port.

I wasn’t actively searching for it, but seeing one in person was a truly moving experience.

Unlike fish, they must have very good hearing—once they heard human voices, they quickly swam away. Still, I was satisfied just to witness their graceful movements.

Hi, This is muchi.

Cherry blossom season has arrived in Japan.

It looks like Somei Yoshino, the most beloved variety of cherry blossom in Japan, will reach full bloom next weekend.

Japanese people love to celebrate hanami—picnics under blooming cherry trees.

However, due to unstable weather this year, the cherry blossoms bloomed later than usual. As a result, many annual events have been postponed or extended.

Near my home, there are many e...

Hi, This is muchi.

In Japan, the annual hay fever season has arrived once again.

Hay fever here is primarily caused by an abundance of cedar and cypress pollen being released into the air, triggering allergic reactions.🌲

When spring comes, the air feels dusty, and cars actually get covered in a layer of yellow pollen.

I’ve been struggling with itchy eyes, but I suppose that’s still better than having a constantly runny nose that makes breath...

One of Japan’s traditional foods is onigiri (rice balls).🍙←

An onigiri is made by shaping rice into a round or triangular form, making it easy to eat. Some are simply seasoned with salt, while others have fillings that pair well with rice. Because of this, they are commonly packed in Japanese lunchboxes.

You could even call them a type of homemade fast food.
