I recently had the opportunity to work on a TV program and went to New York for the filming.
Since I started teaching cooking classes, it has been one of my dreams to visit homes overseas to teach cooking, so when I was offered the opportunity, I wondered if it would really happen, but as the day of my trip to the United States approached, I gradually realized that this is a reality.
Three of my friends and I took a cooking class from YUCa-san over Zoom. It was a lot of fun and the dishes were really delicious! I was surprised by how quickly we could make so many dishes. I have already made several of the dishes again for my family. I learned a lot even though I am experienced in making Japanese home-style recipes. Thank you, YUCa-san!

In this video, I present a ranking of the BEST 5 most popular sandwiches here in Japan. What are the selected five menu items? Please take a guess!
One of the most delicious summer foods is shaved ice with shaved ice shavings. In Japan this year, shaved ice coated with fresh cream and topped with fruit to resemble shortcake is very popular. Shaved ice stores offering shaved ice made with natural ice to make it fluffy have long lines of customers every day. This shaved ice machine is convenient for those who want to eat it at home. Since it is an automatic type, shaved ice can be made simply by pulling the lever on the right side toward you.
It’s time to enjoy Peaches! Peach fruits is mainly composed of carbohydrates. They are also high in the dietary fiber pectin, which helps to cleanse the intestines and relieve fatigue. If you eat it right away, store in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours before eating to preserve the sweetness.
Menu:
– Miso soup with wheat gluten, wakame and spring onion
– Natto oyaki
– Grilled salmon
– Anmitsu
Tonjiru (豚汁) is one of the comfort food here in Japan. TON means “Pork” and JIRU (shiru) means “Soup”. This soup has a rich and mild flavor from pork and lots of vegetables. Since it requires lots of ingredients, we don’t make as often as miso soup at home but eat at the outdoor events or you can buy TONJIRU easily at bento specialty shops.
The lightweight cup for Japanese rice is 1 cup (180 ml) and it is called “1 合(Ichi Gou)”. The key to cooking good rice is not to wash the rice too much. Soak the rice once in water, then discard it and stir it without water. A milky, starchy liquid will come out, which is then poured off. Repeat this two or three times until the water becomes slightly clear. Then cook the rice in a regular Japanese lightweight cup with 200 ml of water per cup.
