My Mom used to bring this rice porridge (okayu お粥) to my bed when I had a cold 😷🤒. Try making this okayu when you aren't feeling well. Or if it's just really freakin' cold ☃️ and you don't feel like cooking. I guarantee it will warm you right up and you'll feel comforted and nourished.

Head here to visit our Modern Heirlooms web shop, where I've thoughtfully co-created ritual objects with my favorite artisans (in limited runs) to help you elevate your sacred rituals. 

I truly believe that cuisine is the most accessible gateway into learning more about our rich heritages. In addition to food, there are so many ways to celebrate, honor, and even reclaim, our time-honored traditions. I believe ritual objects really help anchor us in these moments-- especially around the table.
