Late 2018. I stood in Tokyo for the very first time. Cold wind touched my cheek. Both hands wrapped tightly around a warm cup of green tea.
I didn't even know it was matcha. I only knew it was warm, and it was beautiful. And somehow, it made everything still.
The freshness of green tea still alive in the air. Jasmine rising slowly, almost without asking. White chocolate quietly warming from within. Moss and cedar holding everything together — like a city that hushes, but never grows cold.

Some memories don't live in photographs. They live in scent. And the moment you find it again you know exactly where you were. And how much you want to go back.
