I've created Eataku as an online home for people passionately obsessed with food.

People like me.

I travel a lot. I eat a lot. I cook a lot.

As the Talent Scout for Marvel Comics, my job takes me around the world. While I do thrive on the thrill of constant travel, being on the road and away from home for extended periods of time does take its toll. So when not meeting artists or reviewing portfolios, I keep my batteries charged by exploring the culinary culture and cuisine of whatever city or country I find myself in.

Photos of food. Videos of vineyards. Reviews of restaurants. Recipes for refreshments. This site is now my way of sharing my international epicurean adventures with you.

Enjoy!

This morning, my mother-in-law prepared our miso soup with shijimi clams instead of the usual asari variety. The local fishmonger here got in a nice stock from up in Tottori so she picked up a bunch. And in preparing breakfast, I learned three things about shijimi clams… 1. They’re fresh water clams found in lakes and rivers. 2. They’re good for your liver and a common hangover cure here in Japan. (How have I never heard this before?!) 3. They’re best prepared with red miso. (Although our sister-in-law brought back some local white miso from her family home in Ehime prefecture that we used this AM.)
