Teriyaki Burger 照り焼きバーガー

A close-up of a Teriyaki Burger with lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, grilled pineapple, crispy onions, and teriyaki sauce on a toasted bun, served on a wooden board.

Matcha Tiramisu 抹茶ティラミス

A glass dish filled with matcha tiramisu, topped with a smooth layer of vibrant green matcha powder, sits on a dark surface next to a blue patterned cup of coffee, gold fork and spoon, and a black plate.

My green tea take on the Italian classic, and one of Mr. JOC's longtime favorites. Ladyfingers soak in bright matcha and layer with airy mascarpone cream, then chill overnight—where something quietly transforms each bite into tender, sponge-like softness.
