One Hundred and Nineteenth Collection
Black summer truffles. I wanted to draw the focus on the delicate textures of the truffles but also reflect their earthy origin.
I created this image using a combination of light painting techniques and blending in photoshop. I think it gives a painterly feel.
Kuya, a long-established Japanese confectionery shop in Tokyo's Ginza district, is loved not only by painters, literary figures, pear lovers and rakugo storytellers, but also by ordinary people.
Among their sweets, the most widely known is the "Kuya Monaka." I hope that the photos convey the deliciousness of the red beans and the texture of the skin. I highly recommend that you try it when you come to Japan.
Crispy golden waffles topped with silky hazelnut cream โ a perfect balance of texture and flavor in the morning light.
A wonderful interpretation of @pastalamolisana masterfully executed by Chef @stefano_ bartolucci-rossodivino
This is a styling of the Japanese festival "Choyo no Sekku." Choyo no Sekku is an event held every year on September 9th to pray for the health of family members, the prosperity of descendants, and eternal youth and longevity. Kikuzake (chrysanthemum sake) Chrysanthemum flowers are soaked in or floated in sake, and the sake that has absorbed the fragrance is drunk to ward off evil spirits and pray for longevity.
A black truffle and a seasonal golden chanterelle, placed together in my signature minimal composition. I wanted to highlight the contrast of their textures โ the rough, earthy truffle against the delicate, sculptural folds of the mushroom.
