Ever wonder where your matcha originates from?
New episode out now: https://youtu.be/Jczd7Ij3CEw?si=mBALt...
I know it’s a whole trend now, but matcha has been part of my daily routine for a few years now so it was a no brainer to visit Uji in Japan, known for its rich historical significance in tea culture and high quality tea leaves. I love learning about history when I travel and opt to travel slowly so I can fully immerse myself in the environment. Maybe you’ll want to add Uji to your Japan itinerary or live vicariously though us in our recent video now live on @KayemiStudio

Dead to Me [Freestyle] out now: yt.openinapp.co/DeadtoMeFreestyle
I used to think I needed a label, a budget, or some outside handout to make it in music… but I was wrong.
This freestyle is a letter to the younger me. Showing him that it’s the slow grind, the daily work, and the independence that really builds something real. No shortcuts. No deals. Just consistent pressure.
If you’ve ever bet on yourself when no one else would, this one’s for you. 🌱

When most people plan their trips to Japan, Okayama is not typically on their itinerary. If you love Japanese Denim or just want to explore a quaint seaside neighborhood, Kojima is the place for you.
Crowned the Denim Capital of Japan and home to the infamous Momotaro denim label, Kojima is a jean-lovers paradise. We loved walking around in quiet town & stopping into little shops that caught our eye. We of course bought some incredible Japanese denim while we were there!
Stay tuned for our next videos exploring the Art Islands!
