This website is dedicated to what she calls real food. It has a large section on Japanese food and sushi. It is run by this girl called Makiko (but her friends and family all call her Maki (cute!)). She was born in Tokyo, but grew up all over the place - in various sections of Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture in Japan; in three different places in England; and around the New York City area. She says about the content on her website:

“What I’m really about when it comes to food is real food, and that’s what this site is about. I don’t claim to be a purist who never lets an artificial food pass my lips - I do live in the real world. But in general, fake food just does not taste right to me.”

Especially did we find were her posts about how to make Shell-shaped sushi (Hamaguri-zushi) and how to make Smoked salmon temari zushi: Ball-shaped sushi interesting. We will try this!

We like her approach. And her website!
