25 Things That Surprised Me as a Brit Living in Japan

1) Shops and supermarkets change their stock regularly. One day you buy ice cream, and when you go back three days later to get some more, it’s gone and there’s no evidence they ever sold it. No “sorry this is sold out”, no empty space where it was.

2) So much single-use plastic. Cookies, cakes, fruits and vegetables etc are individually wrapped, or wrapped in packs of two. To be fair though, Japan is much better at recycling all this plastic. Which leads me nicely on to...

3) PET bottles go in one recycling bin, the plastic labels and bottle tops go in a different one. You can’t just put them in together.

4) Multipack crisps are not a thing. Or if they are, I’m yet to find them. I’m used to getting 24-bag multipacks and adding crisps to my lunchbox, taking them with me in case of sudden hungries and using them to get me by between meals. Here you only really get crisps in sharing-size bags, and there’s much less variety. (Although you can buy chocolate-coated crisps, which sound like a cardinal sin but are pretty tasty)

5) There are lots of varieties of plain yoghurt. There’s not a lot of variety of flavoured yoghurt, especially when it comes to large pots. In the UK I can get strawberry, strawberry wholegrain, raspberry, blueberry, mango & passionfruit, mango & apple, mango & vanilla, vanilla, coconut, lemon curd and so much more in 500g pots. Here I’ve found vanilla, honey and blueberry in 350g pots.

6) Even in the winter when the snowstorms came, there were many non-coniferous trees that remained green. I cannot begin to explain how jarring the sight of such vibrant greenery amongst white snow is when you’re used to winter being a sea of brown and grey.

7) Cars actually stop to let you cross the road. Even if they’re turning into a side-road or at a junction, they stop for you to cross, holding up traffic. In the UK, you would annoy a lot of drivers if you started crossing a junction they were turning into.

8) Squat toilets. They’re not just a thing; they’re a commonplace thing and almost every public toilet seems to have at least one. I’ve never seen anyone opt to use one (apparently it’s easier for pregnant women though)

9) When the emergency services are called, they really show up. My neighbour left her keys in her door, someone called the police, two of them waited for her to return home. That same neighbour accidentally used a dish that wasn’t heat-resistant in the microwave and while there was no fire, there was a bit of smoke. Three fire trucks showed up, as well as police. Not a chance anything like that would happen in the UK.

10) You’re not supposed to thank the cashier after buying something; you’re supposed to just bow and leave. I cannot do this; I am culturally conditioned to thank cashiers and find myself doing it anyway.

11) 99% of (non-sliding) doors open outwards. In the UK, the opposite is true. I assume this is because, in the event of an earthquake causing structural damage, it’s much easier to barge your way out of a door when it opens outwards. In the UK, we’re more worried about people breaking in, and so doors open inwards such that we can barricade them (or so I’m told).

12) There are differences between some fruits and vegetables here. Cucumbers are tiny green wrinkled things that look like alien fingers. Radishes are enormous white monstrosities. Spinach is rarely baby leaf. Pumpkins are green. Sweet potatoes are white inside.

13) There’s not much in the way of caramel or salted caramel, but strawberry-flavoured things (especially chocolate) is very common (as is macha flavour). Things that are caramel flavour are more like burnt toffee flavour.

14) People wear coats when it’s 25ºC outside because apparently that’s not warm for them.

15) Convenience stores have printers that you’re welcome to use any time. You have to pay, of course, but for A4 paper it’s 10 yen per black and white page or 50 yen per coloured page, which is basically nothing. You can also print out things on A3, B4 and B5 paper, as well as photographs and postcards.

16) The stairwell for blocks of flats is typically outside, and then you walk along a walkway outside to get to the door. You don’t typically go into a block of flats. The opposite is true in the UK: you have to go into the building (which is typically locked, so you have to buzz the flat of the person you’re visiting and they’ll open it electronically for you from their flat) and then go up the stairs inside.

17) Bread is not sold with the end slices. It’s also usually sold in loaves of 6-8 slices, all of which are thick-cut and much sweeter than English bread. Typically only white bread is available.

18) Vending machines crop up everywhere in the seemingly most random places. I stg if Erebor were in Japan in the years of Smaug, it would have a well-stocked and fully functioning vending machine.

19) There’s no such thing as pepsi max, although there is pepsi zero. Typically you can’t get pepsi zero from the convenience store (although you can get coke zero) and have to go to the supermarket, but it costs like half the price of coke zero if you can be bothered to make the journey.

20) There are cars/vans with megaphones that just drive around advertising things. One time one passed us by and I asked my friend what the deal was and he said “oh, it’s advertising gas”. They’re also used in election campaigns. I’m still confused by these things.

21) Exposing your bare shoulders is a no-no. Even when it’s 35ºC with 90% humidity, people wear tops with sleeves that cover their shoulders (some even wear long sleeves to stop them from getting a tan). It’s okay if you’re going out on the town, but not as everyday wear.

22) “Milk” and “butter” are flavours. Personally, I think it’s redundant to describe cream as “milk-flavoured” or cake as “butter flavoured”, but it would seem Japanese people disagree.

23) Cash is still used everywhere. I pay my bills at the convenience store in cash.

24) Prices of produce are REALLY volatile. One day you pay 88 yen for a tomato. The next day that same tomato - now slightly mankier thanks to being a day older - is 198 yen. Two days later tomatoes are 98 yen. The next week they’re 128 yen.

25) Shoes off! In the classroom, at the doctor’s, at the office etc, shoes come off at the door and you change into provided slippers. This is now so deeply ingrained in me that I feel uncomfortable when my UK friends send me pictures/videos and they’re wearing shoes inside.

cactus jack’s cake

This is a recipe I invented shortly after I began baking and cooking, back around Christmas time: my mom and I were watching one of those baking competition shows, and no exaggeration, every single one of the competitors employed the raspberry-pistachio fusion with their tiered cakes. Flabbergasted, we started naming off different variations of cakes for Christmas and the holiday season, and this was one that stuck out to me. Passionfruit cake is a bit more yellow than green, but prickly pear is a nice bright pink: the apple variation will give a nice golden color, as will blood orange.

Also called my “high desert” cake for the heavy Southwestern influences, I named this one after Cactus Jack’s in Carson City, where my family lived when I was a kid: I remember seeing the big neon sign of the cowboy through my sleeping eyes after a long road trip back from my grandparents’ house, and I knew we were home. I hope to make this one day!

(passionfruit sponge)

4 passionfruits (can also be substituted with blood orange or apple) 2 eggs 115 grams of butter, cubed and softened 115 grams of sugar  Zest of a lemon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  1 1/2 cups of self-raising flour  Pinch of salt 

(prickly pear sponge)

1/2 cup prickly pear juice  2 eggs  115 grams of butter, softened  115 grams of sugar  Zest of a lime 2 teaspoons of lime juice  1 1/2 cups of self-rising flour  Pinch of salt 

(citrus vanilla frosting)

3 cups of powdered sugar, sifted 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract  1-2 tablespoons of milk 1/3 cup of butter  Zest of lemon and lime, plus extra for dusting over the top 

(passionfruit curd)

3 passionfruits 4 egg yolks 2/3 cup of granulated sugar  1/8 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons of butter, softened and cubed

(cactus decorations)

1 cup of dark chocolate chips  1 cup of white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease two 8” pans with shortening and then line with parchment.

For the passionfruit sponge:

Halve the passionfruits and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Press the pulp through a sieve, then set to the side. (If using blood orange, halve and juice. If using apples, halve, scoop out the seeds and press through the sieve)

Beat butter and sugar together with the electric mixer at medium speed for 4 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Add in eggs, one after the other, then the salt and vanilla extract followed by the flour, little by little, until well incorporated—should take a few minutes. Turn mixer down to low and add in zest and passionfruit, and continue to mix for 1 minute.

For the prickly pear sponge:

Concentrate the prickly pear by boiling the juice for about five minutes.

Beat butter and sugar together with the electric mixer at medium speed for 4 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Add in eggs, one after the other, then the salt followed by the flour, little by little, until well incorporated—should take a few minutes. Turn mixer down to low and add in zest and juices, and continue to mix for 1 minute.

Pour batters into either pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes: the prickly pear sponge is a bit heavier, and should take 30 minutes; or until a skewer comes out clean. Let both cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, and then turn both over so they can cool all the way on the rack—be careful because the pans might still be hot!

For the curd:

Halve and scoop out the pulp of the passionfruit, and press through a sieve.

Whisk yolks, sugar, passionfruit pulp, and salt in top pot of bain-marie/double boiler for 10 minutes or until thick—I usually use a metal bowl atop a saucepan of boiling water (be careful not to let the water boil over!)

Remove from heat and whisk in butter—the butter will melt from the heat of the bowl.

Pour curd in bowl and cover directly with plastic wrap until cool (the plastic has to be right on the curd to keep a skin from forming).

For the frosting:

Mix butter with the electric mixer on medium until smooth. Bump mixer down to low and gradually add in sugar (be careful as powdered/confectioner’s sugar, like flour, has a tendency to get on everything) until mixture is creamy. Stop mixer for a second to add in milk, vanilla, and zests, and then beat for another 1-1 1/2 minutes.

For the cactus decorations:

Trace five cactus designs on one side of a piece of paper and turn it upside down so it shows through—make sure one is a little bigger than the other four as that one will be the topper.

Melt chocolate chips in the bain-marie and spoon into ziplock bags. Snip off the corner of the bag about an eighth of an inch and squeeze the chocolate onto the designs. Let them sit until they’re hard and then very carefully peel off.

To assemble:

Either of the cakes can be on the bottom tier: place one cake on a lazy Susan and spread a dollop of the curd on the top with an offset spatula to have a thin but even layer. Place next layer on top of that and spread another even layer of curd on the top. Let the curd sit for a few minutes before applying the frosting with a separate spatula: even out the frosting on top and on the sides with the offset spatula.

Sprinkle the top and sides of the cake with the lemon and lime zests. Carefully apply the large cactus atop the top tier and the other four around the circumference of the cake. 

***if you’d like: keep the tiers flat on the lazy Susan and use a bread knife to slice them in half for four tiers.

I popped into the bakery I used to work at because they were advertising new passionfruit curd on their insta so I had to go buy some, and while I was there I saw there was only one jam donut left, so I thought 'oho treats for me' and got that too

Then a builder walked in and asked for a jam donut, and was informed they were all out. I sheepishly admitted I had bought the last one, which he congratulated me on, and turned to leave.

But I saw that the bakery still stocked butterscotch tarts. I used to make the butterscotch for those tarts. Those butterscotch tarts are the closest thing to cocaine without actually being cocaine they are so good. So I told him as much.

He paused. And then bought three, then left.

I got my stuff and went to my car, passing the construction site on the way.

I saw him sharing the tarts with his other builder mates, and they were all clearly loving it. He saw me, smiled, and waved. I waved back.

It was a very nice moment.

#seriously those butterscotch tarts are so good you could propose with one

elle’s diary - Page 43 - 28/12/23 @ 8:51pm

heya! Hope you’re well! Had a nice day today :) Woke up around 10:45, it was a hot night so I didn’t fall asleep until the early morning. I fried up some bacon and had it with some toast for breakfast (I had that passionfruit curd on my toast again, so yummm). While trying to make a coffee I thought I broke the coffee machine. I felt like I was pulling a lever on a train track when I was pressing the pod in the machine. Turned out I hadn’t emptied the receptacle for ages and dirty coffee water started flowing out of it lol. I thought it broke on the inside or something. False alarm tho.

After enjoying my coffee and breakfast I got ready to leave the place I was house-sitting with my sister. Packed up my clothes, cleaned up my room, and made sure I had everything with me. We took the dog with us for a lil car trip to meet my mum at my home. She was so sweet with her. We went for a good walk and then I said goodbye to my sister and the doggo. I had such a fun time chilling with them, so I was a little sad. After that I unpacked my stuff and relaxed with Prue for a while. I missed her so much!

I also unpacked my Christmas stocking, which I hadn’t realised was stuffed! I wasn’t expecting it as I just wanted to take it out as decoration. I got a really sweet assortment of gifts including one of my favourite sweets, a cool Mario Bros ornament, and chocolate coins amongst some other nice things! (Check out the attached pic!) Such a lovely surprise. We then had dinner (the last of the Christmas leftovers), and I’ve been chilling on the couch with Prue until now! I think I’m gonna work on the vocals for ‘Achilles’ tomorrow! I’ve been itching to get to them but was too tired after all the social stuff of December. I’ve also been listening to the track list of ‘elsewhere’ with my cheap earphones (or earphone, the right side broke ages ago) to see how it sounds on a different listening device. It’s something I do with everyone one of my releases before I put it out, and the songs sound great! A bit more treble is present in the sound, but the songs still feel balanced and close to the listener. Alrighty, I think that’s gonna be all for now! Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

lots of love,

elle xoxo
