Overjoyed to welcome this adorable to our home. Pearl was curious and thoroughly sniffed her upon meeting. Our yuzu munbeibi is yet to be named, as we’re still getting to know her.

Thank you Hannah for the love, care, and creativity you put into each munbeibi! 💕💕💕

Toji(冬至) - Winter Solstice

We're having a pretty magical winter solstice here in Victoria. The blanket of fluffy white snow is a reminder to stay cozy and approach this time of year with the same softness. Today is the most 'yin' day of the year with the fewest hours of daylight, and starting tomorrow the warmth and light of 'yang' begins to return. We'll be incorporating a few Japanese traditions for the transition from darkness to light.

Yuzu-yu ゆず湯
Yuzu (Citrus junos) is an Asian citrus fruit described as "somewhere between grapefruit and mandarin with subtle overtones of bergamot and lime, while producing a very appealing, almost floral note" (Matsumoto et al). Research shows that yuzu oil enhances cognitive function while relieving stress, tension, and anxiety. In TCM Five Elements principles yuzu oil helps reduce damp, associated with the wood element, and in Ayurveda the oil strengthens vata and pitta, therefore helping to reduce kapha (Battaglia).

The winter solstice tradition is to add yuzu fruit to your bath. It's been our favourite citrus to use in cooking and for its aroma since we first tried it in Japan over a decade ago. While great any time of year, we'll definitely be using our Yuzu Hinoki Mineral Soak for a relaxing bath today, likely with a Yuzu Eucalyptus Mint candle lit nearby and a cup of yuzu tea within reach. 💕

Stay warm and safe everyone.

Day 1 of Magic of Christmas was a blast. It was so lovely to meet many wonderful attendees and to start building community with other local small businesses. Shout out to .roastery for the photo and my dear friend of for the beautiful and delicious bento.
