“I didn’t skate for the gold medal. I skated with joy.”

When I heard Alysa Liu say this in an interview, it stayed with me.

Watching her glide so gracefully and elegantly across the ice, you can feel that freedom.

In competitions — and in life — we often focus so much on the outcome. But sometimes the most powerful moments happen when we simply allow ourselves to be present and do what we genuinely love.

When something is created from pressure, it feels tight.
When it comes from joy, it expands.

A reminder this International Women’s Day that strength can be expressed not only through power, but also through grace, authenticity, and quiet confidence.

喜びから生まれるものは、美しく広がっていく。

Happy Women’s Day ⛸️

Earlier this winter, in Kitagawa Village, an open and village-led yuzu competition invited ideas that could meaningfully support the village and its future.

Our three-flavour yuzu ice pops were awarded Grand Prix, selected unanimously by the judging panel led by Kihachi Kumagai.

We receive this recognition with gratitude, and a sense of responsibility to the place that inspired it.

The three colours reflect the life of yuzu — from green, to yellow, to orange at full ripeness. Different moments in time, each with its own character and flavour.

This project took shape through collaboration and the generosity of local farmers, who allowed us to experience yuzu across seasons. It belongs as much to the village as it does to us.

With sincere thanks to those who shared this story — Kochi Shimbun and Kochi Sun Sun Television.

Quietly, one step at a time 🍃

Spring’s first sakura opened on the day I left Kitagawa Village. A quiet reminder that beginnings arrive in their own time.

Wishing our friends a healthy, prosperous and meaningful Lunar New Year 🌸 新年快乐 🍊

Passing through Oboke again 🌿
Mountains, winding roads, memories from last spring.

ここから、自然に近い生き方を
静かに考え始めた場所.
(This is where I quietly began thinking about a life closer to nature.)

Some places plant seeds —
and wait.

Ending the year with gratitude 🤍

While Simple Indulgence Patisserie closed its chapter in July, the connections remain — and so does this space, shared with many ardent yuzu lovers 🍋

Your gentle check-ins after my last post meant more than you know.
Thank you for the kindness and care.

ご縁に感謝 🤍

Wishing everyone peace, health, and meaningful connections in the year ahead ✨
Happy New Year 🕊️

新しい年が穏やかな一年になりますように 🕊️

The outpouring of love these past few weeks has been overwhelming — in the best way possible 💛

From surprise visits to early preorders, and all the heartfelt messages in between — thank you for celebrating this season finale with me.

It’s been such a joy seeing so many of you pick up your favourites, share your stories, and remind me just how special this little chapter has been.

As I step into a new chapter, I wish all of you the very best in finding the things that make life feel fun, meaningful, and yours. Follow your dreams — it’s always better to have tried than to wonder “what if.”

Thank you for being part of this chapter.
�With all my love,�Christine 🤍
