This ties into the Island Holiday September Party at the end of September in the Slimming calendar.
I’m completely new to Japanese food and beauty, so this is more of a discovery and introduction month.
The food is just what is available at the minute, but surprisingly nice for packet food, in fact, it seems to suit being packaged and I think Japanese people do eat a lot of packaged food.
Really recommend it.
In fact, I now have wasabi seaweed instead of crisps or snacks when I’m drinking.
As well as tasting delicious, the seaweed is actually good for us.
Is dried seaweed a healthy snack?
Seaweed snacks are a great alternative to traditional salty snacks as they offer an array of nutrients while being low in calories, low sodium, and free of cholesterol.10 Aug 2022

Green Tea
If you want the benefits of green tea but can’t acquire the taste try twinnings Glow tea
I got through a box of these as they taste gorgeous.
Then when I tried green tea again, I could drink it this time. Really pleased I have acquired a taste for it finally. Also realised you should drink it in proper Japanese tea cups, as opposed to british coffee cups. I think these may be fairly small but not sure.
I make my Japanese tea in small cups now and serve with the Japanese selection that will appear on slimming calender.
We have Japanese night once a week on Thursday.
Then eventually you might advance to actual tea as oppose to teabags?
Maybe next year ~ see how it goes as I’m definately starting discover all the advantages of green tea.
For one thing my hair is really shiny, I am using quite a lot of products, but it is starting to resemble Japanese hair.
Just hope it isn’t a fluke.
I also have been taking green tea capsules as I couldn’t get into the tea ~ you see this could of helped me aquire the taste.
All the products are on Slimming Calender starting 1st September with links to where to purchase. We just looked for Japanese food in our local supermarkets.
Have also loaded selected episodes from Japanology to explain the products more expertly for you.
We then get an introduction to Japanese Beauty.
I have a Gua Sha and Jade Roller and have followed the basic instructions, but I have found some books for you on Amazon so you can learn more.
They work better if you use them after applying facial oil, then remember to cleanse them in soap and water before using again.
Hope you like Japanese September and it introduces interesting food back into your life after covid austerity.
We really enjoy Japanese night as we used to have quite a varied diet before covid.
Have also found some Japanese exercise for you that I have built into Thursday spa day.
It is in Japanese, but if you press CC there are subtitles.
If you find it hard you can slow down the playback speed.
I found this one was the easiest to try as it has subtitles.
It is a bit different for September.

We are really enjoying it, and hope you do too.
If you want more excitement in your diet have to say Jamaican ginger beer light works really well with Japanese food.
An art teacher first recommended this to me in London.
She took it with Greek food and stuffed Greek vine leaves.
I have a can of this and a small cup of green tea with my Japanese Thursday dinner.
You can find this at your local supermarket.
