Going Japanese

By Sara Ventiera | Thu, March 21, 2013

Everyone loves dressing in costumes. It’s, like, the perfect opportunity to let out your inner freak. Just think of all the grown women dressing as naughty schoolgirls on Halloween. Well, this weekend the costume party is going Japanese at the... More »
Play With Your Sushi

By Rebecca Dittmar | Thu, February 21, 2013

When people think about sushi, it doesn't seem that complicated. It's raw fish. You eat it. There's actually a lot more to it than that. Just spend five minutes really reading a sushi menu instead of just ordering your usual JB roll. You may... More »

Perhaps the best expression of its Japanophilia are the numerous festivals it hosts, honoring the important holidays of Nihon. Of these, the Hatsume Fair, which celebrates the first bud of spring, is our favorite, what with its vendor and artisan booths, fair food both Asian and American, and three stages of... More »
2001 | Best Architecture

Who would have expected Japanese colonists in South Florida? Well, they were here, nearly a century ago, and although their Yamato farming community in Boca Raton didn't last, their legacy lives on in the form of the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens. Think of this 200-acre complex as an organic whole, the way a Zen Buddhist might, and you'll begin to appreciate the architectural splendor of the place, which is actually made up of two distinct museum buildings and an intricate series of...
