You can even get (tobacco) smoking pipes decorated using urushi. It's made me wonder about the temperature stability, as a pipe can (but ideally shouldn't) get fairly hot. Tsuge is a good brand to search for if you want to see exa

Was about to leave a similar comment. A lot of this was pretty neutral, some of it heart-warming, and there isn't a lot of evidence of negativity here. And I loved the little illustrations, all in all it felt like someone who took effo

I've made this, but I have also used burnt honey as an adjunct in making imperial stouts. It adds a toasted marshmallow note that goes very well with the roasted barley flavour. One thing interesting thing is that boiling and burning h

Jeeze I remember this killing an older man[1] on the Garden Route coast in South Africa while visiting said area. According to the news releases at the time it needs the perfect mix of sea and fresh water at specific temperatures. We opted
