About Us

Hiroko and Rick
New York, United States
We are a married couple living in New York for whom eating and drinking is not a means to live but rather, THE WAY to live. Whether it is experimenting in our kitchen, searching out the best tasting banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) in NYC, Oregon, Vietnam, or Laos; sampling the freshest nihonshu at sake breweries throughout Japan, or cruising the snack aisles in the supermarkets of Central Pennsylvania to find a new variety of the potato chip, our appetite for taste discoveries is never sated.
