Hi (こんにちわ), I’m Fran! 

I like reading, cooking, and video games. I became passionate about Japan and its wonderful culture after playing the Yakuza games franchise (known in Japan as Ryu Ga Gotoku), so much so that I also decided to self-study Japanese. 

Here's just a few key facts about me.

• Favourite colour: Green
• Favourite food: Pizza
• Favourite beverage: Tea
• Favourite alcoholic drink: Vodka Lemon
• Favourite music: K-pop 
• Favourite bands: Super Junior, (G)I-DLE, EXO

ABOUT LIFE IS A BOX OF MOCHI

Life is a Box of Mochi is a blog about all aspects of Japanese culture I'm particularly fond of, but also a place where I like to share my love for East-Asian culture in general. I hope you enjoy reading each article, and that I can spark your interest in the culture that stole my heart!
