Hi everyone,
Here's your weekly trove of recommendations. If you enjoy it, please feel free to forward this along to friends.
Quotes to consider
"Only the autodidacts are free.-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
We are quick to forget that just being alive is an extraordinary piece of good luck, a remote event, a chance occurrence of monstrous proportions." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb in The Black Swan
For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you. -Neil deGrasse Tyson
I like the variety of topics and simple cover of this modern how-to book series
This Japanese coffee and tableware brand
Along with Hasami porcelain( I love my gloss grey coffee mug from them), Kinto'sproducts look very minimal and ergonomic. I'd seen this company in Japan and didn't realize that they sell globally. Their instagram was very well targeted ;D
I found a place in San Mateo with Mazesoba on the menu!
This is not a drill. Mazesoba is dang delicious and I'll be happy if they can come even a little close to what Maenya Hanabi serves up in Nagoya. Taiwan Mazesoba From Menya Hanabi's website:
Mazesoba, literally translated into English as “mixed noodle,” is a “soupless” ramen that has been gaining recognition and popularity in Japan and more recently, the rest of the world since it was first created in 2008 by our own Chef Naoto Niiyama. Our Mazesoba consists of our own noodle recipe made from multi-grain flour that sits in our homemade sauce base topped off with various ingredients such as spicy minced pork, raw egg yolk, seaweed, chashu, green onion, chives, garlic, fishpowder, and more (as you please)! You can think of our Mazesoba as the third-wave of ramen, with the first being your traditional broth ramen and the second, tsukemen (“dipping” noodles).
Thanks for reading Trove. See you next week!
