About me

Welcome to The Japanese Rose – My name is Nadia (NA-DI-A).

Looking at my blog name, you might be wondering why “The Japanese Rose”? I often wondered if I should change my blog name as it’s not clear on what it’s about but I like it, I feel like it’s me!

I am half Japanese, half English, and my middle name is Rose – which is also known for being an English flower.

So, that’s a little backstory of my name.

I have recently (October 2022) moved and started a new chapter of my life in Japan.

It can feel a bit overwhelming when travelling to a new country, let alone moving to a new country. I want to use this space to give tips, tricks and recommendations when it comes to navigating Japan.

So whether you’re coming for holiday or making the move to Japan, I hope I can help!

Food and Travel

Food and travel are two things that are very important to me, and I like to combine them wherever I can!

`Food`

I’ve been vegan since January 2019, and since changing to a vegan lifestyle, I have never been more experimental in the kitchen and with what I eat.

Since moving to Japan, it’s been a little tricky to navigate the vegan scene. It’s like I’ve had to start learning from zero again.

Not being fluent in the language, I’ve fully accepted I will make mistakes along the way. However, I’m very excited to explore and share what delicious things are out there for me to explore and find.
