Honotime is pancaketime!

My new Japanese friends Hono and Wendy showed me around town today. They both used to live in London and went to St Martins and London College of Fashion, these days they're making mushroom costumes and other artistic outfits in Tokyo. It's such a difference when you're with someone speaking the language and knowing the Japanese culture. It's like seeing through a wall which all of a sudden becomes transparent. Hoko and Wendy took me to an artsy place called Sakuratei were they make art and pancakes. The pancakes was definately the highlight! For 1000 Yen, less than 8€, you get to make as many pancakes you can eat (besides that my hostess refused to let me pay for anything during the day, since I was their guest!). We had all different kinds with mini shrimps, ginger, onions, cabbage - basically a poor man's food in old Japan, today trendy munchies in cool Japan. You can do this at home:
