Today a friend took me to this mysterious location.
Porter Exchange Mall, a retail space inside Leslie University, has a hidden alcove of Japanese shops! It is a small space. Although the Japanese grocery is gone, there are half a dozen ramen shops, sushi bars, or casual eateries. We had sushi at Bluefin, which was traditional and friendly. After lunch my feet led me to Japonaise Bakery and planted me in front of the display case. I tried to convince myself that I was not interested, but then I saw a delectable treat called "Azuki Cream." When I see azuki, I can't help myself. Azuki is the Japanese name referring to a small bean found in East Asia. They are usually red in color, and are commonly sweetened for use in various desserts. I love it!

So fun to read another intern's blog! How do you like the Nutrition Communication program at Tufts?
Thanks so much for sharing. As a Porter dweller myself I have been very interested in visiting some these Japanese shops. Want to join? =)
Lesley- yes! anytime you want to go, just give me a ring!
hi rach, i think he mentions it in multiple places, most memorably to me in "weight of glory" (i think? it's been a while), and also in the chapter of "Miracles" i just read. i'll get you a more specific reference when i find it =)
