Taiyaki
Do you know this fish shape waffle? This is called Taiyaki (鯛焼き). “Tai (鯛)” means a carp and “Yaki (焼き)” means stir-fry or bake in Japanese. To make this shape, you need to buy special waffle machine. You can buy online or electric stores here in Japan to make at home or you can find Taiyaki shops at many places here in Japan. Usually, Taiyaki has red bean paste inside but some shops sell custard cream, matcha cream, sweet potato paste, Chocolate cream, Sesame cream etc. In this recipe, I introduce the traditional Taiyaki which has red bean paste inside. Enjoy!
9 months pregnant!
9 months pregnant now. Maybe my tummy is a bit small ?!
Our baby (My family call the baby Bebe-chan!) kicks my stomach a lot all day these days. Sometimes it hurts but that’s one of the precious memory in life.

Soymilk
Have you ever tasted soymilk? I usually buy soymilk at the market but I decided to make from scratch at home. I realized that homemade soymilk has more natural flavor from soybeans. If you need some sweetness, please add various sweeteners (i.e. Honey, Agave syrup, Brown sugar, Coconut sugar etc) and enjoy comparing those flavors. It’s FUN!

Kimpira | Stir-fry burdock and carrot
Kimpira is one of my favorite veggie side dish. Have you ever taster this? Or some of you may have seen them in a bento box. I want to eat this at every meal and everyday. Kimpira is a stir-fry veggie dish with say sauce, mirin, sake and sugar. But Kimpira usually with burdock and carrot. You can cut into various sizes and shapes. When I feel like biting chunks, I cut them into big pieces. I hope you enjoy this simple and easy dish!

Time to enjoy Japanese pears
The fall has come ! At the good timing, many pears from my hometown has also come! I especially love them because they are so sweet and sounds “Shaki-shaki” (crispy) !!! As you see, my family cannot eat all of it in a short period so I usually serve in my cooking class and also give to the neighbors every year!
