Mari-san,

It was so nice to see you again at Japan Society event this week! I completely agree with you. It would be great if I can simplify my daily life. It would be more confortable and enjoyable. I look forward to seeing you in near future!

I really like your concept to eat healthy but also save time and money using what you already have. Hope to connect regarding my upcoming Assn of Women Home Owners, who I think would really like what you’re doing.

PS I lived in Tokyo for 3+ years, and loved it although my food preference remain western … except for my rice (I didn’t understand why everyone talked about sneaking their own rice in when we first moved there).
