   On my cooking site I call this a "Murakami meal" and as it happens, I have started re-rereading 1Q84. Last time it took me more than 5 years, so I'm interested to see how much quicker I can read now, especially when I don't look up every single word that I don't know.

   I failed already: I came across an interesting kanji: 捲 meaning to fold or turn over. It is interesting because the right-hand side 卷 is an older variant of 巻 . The original radical 卩( "person kneeling") came to be replaced by 己 ("self").

     It's summer so I made aubergines with ponzu, onigiri, and some seasoned tofu skins with shiitake.

     I did not have soy beans so I used tofu skins; I did not have yuzu juice so I used lime juice and sweetened it a bit with a little marmalade.

     I made the onigiri with white rice. As fillings I used rehydrated shiitake, arame seaweed, sesame seeds, and also umeboshi. I went for more nori than usual.
