An Interview with the Artist Behind Alyson Iwamoto Ceramics

Today I am so excited to introduce you to one of my favorite jewelry designers and ceramicists, Alyson Iwamoto! For me, when I wear an Alyson Iwamoto piece, it also feels like a way to wear my heritage proudly for all to see, and there’s something profoundly healing and powerful in that.

Recipes Featuring Rice Vinegar from a 123-Year-Old Japanese Artisanal Vinegar Company

Every good cook has their secret resources. Mine is The Japanese Pantry, who source ingredients made by Japanese food artisan families who have been making these products for generations. I enjoyed coming up with two simple recipes using the Pure Rice Vinegar from Io Jozo, a 123-year-old vinegar company. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed developing (and eating) them!
