I’m currently making a plushie that isn’t Satoshi for a certain purpose.
I really enjoy this process of watching it slowly come together 🧵
I’m excited and can’t wait to finish it, but I’ll continue tomorrow.

This week, I’m making a plushie based on a certain person, not Satoshi.
As a hobby, I also make plushies with facial expressions and hair, so I’m doing my best to make use of that experience🧵

Today I made a drawstring bag for a certain purpose.
I really like The Great Wave by Katsushika Hokusai🌊
By the way, there are several reasons why I named my goods brand “Making Waves,” and one of them was inspired by this very Japanese artwork.

I made some drawstring bags today for a certain purpose and worked on designing some fabric.
I have a lot of things planned to make this month, so I’m excited😊

Today I made chicken mizore-ni.
Mizore-ni is a dish where grated daikon radish is added and simmered; it’s seasoned with dashi and soy sauce, and it’s really delicious 🍲

2026-03-07 11:12:34 UTC

I made Napolitan pasta today.
It’s a Japanese pasta dish with lots of ketchup, giving it a slightly sweet taste.
It’s a classic café menu in Japan, so I was surprised it’s not common overseas. 🍝
https://image.nostr.build/f3eb18cfeffa15ccbdd2820c4723b89143ee324c9addc95f4870d19f274a9b7c.jpg

I sometimes see people say, “For payments, wouldn’t dollar stablecoins be better than Bitcoin?”
But I don’t think so.
People from Korea sometimes buy my goods, but in both Japan and Korea the dollar isn’t a familiar everyday currency, so I don’t feel much need to use it.
I also considered pricing my Satoshi plushies in Korean won. But then in Vietnam I’d need Vietnamese dong, and in South Africa rand… which would make management complicated.
That’s one reason I price many of my goods at 21,000 sats, and so far this method has worked well.

2026-03-06 20:21:09 UTC

2026-03-06 11:57:48 UTC

Today I used some test fabric to design a new outfit for the Satoshi plushies.
The Satoshis had fun trying them on together 👕🎭

Today is the day the Satoshis set off on their journey.
They seem excited and can’t wait to arrive in Arusha, with Mount Kilimanjaro in view 🇹🇿🏔
Have a great trip, Satoshis!

Goods for the Bitcoin Hub in Tanzania are done! 🇹🇿
They feature an orange check pattern inspired by the Maasai shuka, and Satoshi wears a balaclava, referencing Arusha & Kilimanjaro 🏔
As BITCOIN ARUSHA collaborated with Trezor Academy, I made a Trezor pouch🧵

They are dressed in orange outerwear inspired by traditional Maasai check patterns!

March 3rd is Hinamatsuri, so I made chirashi sushi.
Hinamatsuri is a traditional Japanese festival celebrating the health and happiness of girls.
I also bought hishimochi, a traditional sweet enjoyed on this day — it really makes me feel that spring has arrived 🌸

I made gyudon (Japanese beef bowl) today.
In Japan, there are many gyudon chain restaurants that are affordable, fast, and delicious, and gyudon is so popular that it can be considered one of the country’s national comfort foods🍚

Today I tried making maguro yamakake-don (a tuna and grated yam rice bowl).
Yamakake-don is rice topped with tuna and tororo (grated raw nagaimo, a Japanese mountain yam).
After trying it, I felt tuna and tororo might taste better eaten separately. But it was still delicious 🐟

Today I found some fresh, delicious-looking squid, so I made ikameshi.
(Ikameshi is a dish where squid is stuffed with glutinous rice and simmered.)
It was my first time trying it, and it was absolutely delicious 🦑

Today I made mushroom soba.
I used a can of simmered sardines to make a Japanese-style broth, so I was able to get some protein too 🐟

Today I made simmered sea bream and lotus root stir-fried in sweet vinegar sauce.
It had been a while since I last made the sweet vinegar stir-fry, but it turned out so delicious that I wanted to eat even more😊
(It contains vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, sake, and other seasonings.)

I also made an ehomaki, which is eaten while facing the lucky direction of the year on Setsubun🍣
