shôjiki wa ore mo hana yori dango kana
honestly--
even more than blossoms
I love dumplings!

Good link. Wish I spoke Japanese. Is the pronunciation mostly as it looks on paper? I enjoyed reading the haikus aloud to myself.
Cool to know that the first hedge scene in The Wind-up Bird Chronicle (where he meets the neighbor) must have been a reference to Tale of Genji. One of those books I know I should read...
