Yuriage is a town in the city of Natori, Miyagi prefecture. A coastal town, it was devastated by the tsunami of March 2011. Hundreds of people lost their lives and almost no buildings were left standing. In the years since, Yuriage has been looking both forward and back in its efforts to come to terms with the disaster. The wish of many survivors is that the town isn't forgotten, so here it is three years on.

One of my favourite things about Japan is the wonderful variety of food, and I love to share what I find. When I'm not eating, you might find me singing karaoke or walking around hoping to make new discoveries!
