I really enjoy Harajuku Fashion because I feel like all the different styles are extremely unique and expressive. It’s really cool how people can take certain items and turn them into cute accessories to wear out in public! Fashion is something really important to me, since I think you can tell a lot about a person just based off their sense of style. I’d love to change up what I wear more, but I can’t really pick my own things without my parents’ input, which sucks because what I want to wear is very different than the items that they want me to wear. I also kind of want to try sticking to one aesthetic for once, but it’s really hard to when there’s so many cute fashion choices!

What is the most creative meal you have made or had? Would it taste good in sandwich form?

I think one of the more creative meals I’ve had is one of the sandwiches I’ve made myself in another class last year. It had strawberry, lemon zest and ricotta cheese, and was topped with icing sugar! It was a really good sandwich, and with some adjusting, I definitely think it would taste even better in some variation of sandwich form.

How do these compare to the sandwiches available in Canada?

I feel like sandwiches in Canada don’t have AS many variants as they do in Japan. Western sandwiches are just a bunch of things stacked together that taste good. But in Japan, there’s a lot of variation when it comes to what’s in the sandwich and how the sandwich is presented. A lot of Japanese sandwiches have some sort of decoration that makes them look a lot more elegant compared to western sandwiches.
