#29 🌿A Quiet Life in Kimono | Homemade Mugwort Soba from Scratch in Rural Japan

Welcome to our peaceful countryside life in Japan 🍃
In this early summer video, I wear a soft summer kimono and step into the garden to harvest yomogi (Japanese mugwort) — a beloved herb known for its healing properties and gentle flavor.

Today, we turn this humble wild herb into soothing dishes that nourish both body and soul:
✨ Yomogi mochi with sweet red beans and kinako
✨ Homemade soba noodles infused with dried mugwort
✨ Japanese-style sticky tororo soba with natto, yam, okra & mushrooms
✨ Yomogi dashimaki tamago (rolled omelet)

Slow living, seasonal eating, and soul-soothing food — all from the heart of rural Japan.
Watch until the end for a family meal full of laughter, love, and little Mochi too 🥹🍵

🌱 This is a quiet life lived with intention, one harvest at a time.
🌸 Let’s enjoy the taste of summer, softly.
